Cemented carbides are widely used in the cutting tools industry for their mechanical properties. They are composite materials made of hard tungsten carbide grains jointed together by a ductile cobalt binder. Due to the extreme conditions of use of the tool ...
A Finite Element Model produced from a real WC-10wt.%Co sample is used to study the mechanical behavior of cemented carbides in compression tests. The model is obtained by slicing the sample by Focused Ion Beam and reconstructing it. This model is used to ...
WC-Co cemented carbides are widely used in the cutting tool industry due to their mechanical properties. These composite materials indeed combines hardness and toughness, two properties that are generally contradictory. WC-Co is composed of hard WC grains ...
A Finite Element Model is used to observe the build-up of residual thermal stresses during the sintering process in two WC-Co samples with different volume fractions of Co. A realistic model of the two phase material is obtained by FIB slicing a real WC-Co ...
A Finite Element Model is developed to represent the mechanical behavior of WC-10 wt.% Co in compression tests. In this research, realistic three-dimensional model is obtained by slicing a sample by Focused Ion Beam and reconstituting it, resulting in two ...
WC–Co cemented carbides are one of the most widely used materials for the production of cutting tools, for their exceptional mechanical properties. Due to the extreme mechanical and thermal conditions of the cutting operations, understanding and controllin ...
