Effects of composite binder phase on microstructure and mechanical properties of ultrafine grained cemented carbides

In order to develop a new high?performance binder phase, four different alloys Co?Ni?Fe, Co?Ni?Cr, Co?Ni?Nb, and AlCoCrNiNb0.5 alloys were used as binder in cemented carbides. The room?temperature mechanical properties and high?temperature flexural strength of cemented carbides were studied. The results show that the optimal mechanical properties for the WC?8(Co?Ni?Fe, Co?Ni?Cr, Co?Ni?Nb, AlCoNiNb0.5) can be obtained at the sintering temperatures of 1200, 1350, 1350 and 1300?, respectively. Compared with cemented carbides with Co as binder phase, the hardness of the four kinds of alloys is increased, the WC grain size becomes finer, but the fracture toughness is slightly decreased. When the temperature is under 600?C, there is no visible oxidation of the four kinds of cemented carbides, and their bending strengths are basically not reduced. When the temperature increased from 600? to 900?, the WC?8(Co?Ni?Nb) and WC?8(Co?Ni?Fe) samples present the better high temperature bending resistance compared with the WC?8(Co?Ni?Cr) and WC?8AlCoCrNiNb0.5 samples, with respective decrease in bending strength of 11.7% and 7.3%.
