During production of cemented carbides hard and brittle tungsten carbide (WC) and ductile metal powders (mainly from Fe-group) are milled together. Complete milling results in a Gaussian distribution and narrow particle size range of the milled powder which promote the homogeneity and improve the properties of sintered composites. Cobalt, conventional metal employed in cemented carbides, possesses good comminution characteristics with WC powder. However, its toxicity and fluctuating price pushes researchers to find suitable alternatives and Fe-based alloys have shown most promising results. Cemented carbides with the Fe-Cr system as metal binder phase have potential to perform better than regular WC-Co composites in corrosive and oxidative environments. The goal of this paper was to prepare uniform cemented carbides powders with relatively high fraction of stainless Fe-Cr steel. To achieve a uniform powder mixture is a challenge at high ductile steel fraction. High energy milling (HEM) is a powerful technique for achieving (ultra) fine powder mixtures with narrow powder size range. HEM was carried out in a novel high energy ball mill RETSCH Emax. Milling in tumbling ball mill, which is the most widely used method, was employed for reference. Prepared powder mixtures were characterised in terms of particle size, size distribution and shape. In addition, powder mixtures were consolidated via spark plasma sintering to evaluate the effect of the milling method and the duration on the microstructure of final cemented carbide.

The influence of the tungsten-carbide (WC) particle size and Co contents of cemented carbides on polycrystalline diamond tool wear during turning was investigated experimentally. The main results obtained were as follows. (1) Tool wear increased with increasing Co content. (2) It is important to cut off the binder between the WC particles and the Co. (3) Cemented carbides containing small WC particles are more effective than cemented carbides containing large particles.

WC–Co cemented carbides were prepared by liquid-state sintering ofin situsynthesized composite powders with a constant Co content but different carbon concentrations, and with different size scales of VC particles as grain-growth inhibitor. With an optimized carbon addition and doping with microscale VC particles, an ultrahigh fracture strength with a mean value above 5000 MPa was achieved for cemented carbides. By detailed crystallographic analysis of the configuration and interactions of the WC, Co and VC phases, the effects of VC particle size on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cemented carbides are identified. The mechanisms by which the fracture strength depends on the VC particle size contain the effects on the changes in Co binder distribution, atomic matching at the phase boundary and WC grain size. The dominant factors for ultrahigh fracture strength of cemented carbides are proposed.
