Conventional WC-Co hardmetals are widely used in various applications due to their excellent properties. High hardness can be achieved using compositions with little to no content of cobalt or nickel. These binder metals are hazardous to health, making a substitution not only desirable because of availability and cost reasons. A new possibility to manufacture such hard materials is the combination of tungsten carbide with oxides such as Al2O3 and ZrO2. In this way the binder metal content can be replaced. Furthermore the content of the also expensive WC can be reduced. Such metal carbide – oxide composites with oxide contents between 16 vol% and 40 vol% were manufactured. The completely dense composites feature high hardness values of 2000 HV10 to 2400 HV10 while also having an acceptable fracture toughness of up to 7 MPa⋅m1/2. The improved mechanical properties make the replacement of WC-Co hardmetals and binder free WC ceramics in special areas possible.

The present work studies the tungsten carbide (WC/C) coatings deposited by using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), with and without gases of Ar and N2. Volatile hexacarbonyl of W was used as a precursor. Their mechanical and tribological properties were evaluated. The following values were obtained by using deposition process with N2 of HIT = 19.7 ± 4.1 GPa, EIT = 221 ± 2.1 GPa, and coefficient of friction (COF) = 0.35 ± 0.09. Secondly, deposition without the aforementioned gas obtained values of HIT = 20.9 ± 2 GPa, EIT = 292 ± 20 GPa, and COF = 0.69 ± 0.05. WC/C coatings were annealed at temperatures of 200, 500, and 800 °C, respectively. Evaluated factors include the introduced properties, the observed morphology, and the structural composition of WC/C coatings. The process of degradation was carried out by using various velocities, depending on used gases and annealing temperatures.
