Abstract

WC-Co hard metals are composite materials. They have very good properties like high hardness and relatively high fracture toughness. They offer high resistance to wear and rupture strength. They are used in cutting tools industry and other applications like mining, metal forming, construction industry, wear parts etc.-Co contains classic composition of WC and Co. The WC grains provide high hardness and wear resistance and the cobalt binder increases toughness. The vast majority of applications for tungsten carbide cobalt (WC
