Structure and cutting properties of WC-Co composites obtained by the SPS - Spark Plasma Sintering method (original) (raw)

Abstract

Functional properties of WCCo composites obtained by the SPS – Spark Plasma Sintering method. 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...
