SPS (spark plasma sintering) technology has been used for several decades, mainly in laboratories, to consolidate a huge number of both new and traditional materials. However, it is now more often introduced into practical industrial use, with equipment as early as the fifth generation capable of producing larger-size components at competitive costs. Although the mechanism of sintering with the use of this method is not yet understood, the effectiveness of the SPS process for the rapid and efficient consolidation of a wide range of materials with novel micro-structures remains indisputable. With a relatively wide variation in chemical composition, the structure allows the selection of appropriate consolidation parameters for these materials. The influence on the values of apparent density and mechanical properties depends on the parameters of the spark plasma sintering process. In order to achieve ...

Although they have been known for a long time, there is still much development in the field of sintered tool materials, especially WC-Co carbides and superhard materials. The use of new manufacturing methods (such as FAST—field-assisted sintering technology), which use pulses of electric current for heating, can improve the properties of the materials used for cutting tools, thereby increasing the cost-effectiveness of machining. The ability to increase tool life without the downtime associated with tool wear allows significant cost savings, particularly in mass production. This paper presents the results of a study of the effect of grain size and cobalt content of carbide tool sinters on the tribological properties of the materials studied. The powders used for consolidation were characterised by irregular shape and formed agglomerates of different sizes. Tribological tests were carried out using th...

The carbides were sintered using the innovative U-FAST (Upgraded Field Assisted Sintering Technology) method, from mixtures of WC-Co powders with an average WC grain size of 0.4 µm and 0.8 µm. The obtained sinters were characterized by a relative density above 99% of the theoretical density. The hardness of the obtained composites was above 2000 HV30, while the KIC coefficient was about 8 MPa m1/2.

The obtained materials contained 30% vol. diamond. The advanced sintering method Pulse Plasma Sintering (PPS) was used for the production of composites. The sintering process was carried out in two stages at a pressure of 50 and 100 MPa and a temperature of 1050 °C. Depending on the size of the diamond particles, composites with a density of 91–99% were obtained. Microstructure studies were performed employing scanning electron microscopy, along with an analysis of the chemical composition in micro-areas. Additionally, the phase composition was investigated by means of X-ray diffraction. In addition, hardness tests were performed. It was found that the size of the diamond particles significantly influenced the microstructure of the tested materials, as well as the density and hardness. As a result of PPS sintering of compo...

As successful tool materials, WC-Co carbides are widely applied in metal cutting, wear applications, chipless forming, stoneworking, wood, and plastic working. These materials are exposed to severe solid particle erosion by sand particles, such as in the wood industry. During the production of furniture with HDF (High Density Fibreboard), MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard), or OSB (Oriented Strand Board), there are observed problems with tool erosion. Contamination, mainly of the HDF by sand, is quite often, which is why all tools used for the machining of such materials are exposed to erosion by sand particles. Although many studies have been performed on the erosion of various metals, and erosion models exist to predict their erosion behavior, the issue is still relevant. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of grain size (submicron, ultrafine) and the manufact...

The rapid development of the furniture market results in the need to produce tools with increasingly better properties which make it possible to increase the efficiency of the production. One of the prospective paths of development for blades intended for cutting wood-based materials are carbides made using the Spark Plasma Sintering method. It makes it possible to produce sinters with submicron or even nanometric WC grain size in a very short time and without the need for using inhibitors. As a result of the specific heating conditions, this method makes it possible to obtain a material having high parameters in comparison with the material produced using conventional methods. This study aimed to determine the degree of wear of SPS tools compared to commercially available blades (of similar chemical composition). The results of research testing the basic properties (hardness, density, micr...
