摘要: Abstract WC–Co hardmetals using different starting powders were densified by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Sintering cycles performed at 1240 °C for the WC–12 wt.% Co–0.45 wt.% VC grade and 1280 °C WC–6 wt.% Co grade, applying a pressure of 60 MPa in combination with heating rate 100 °C/min. The influence carbon content homogeneity on final microstructure mechanical properties was investigated. A thin graded surface layer is observed case slightly deficient powder. agglomerates SPS materials obtained from lower energetically multi-directionally mixed powder, whereas homogeneous when attritor-milled or chemically synthesized powder adjusted balance. microstructures are related to measured properties.
