摘要
The effects of Cr3C2 and VC on densification behavior, grain growth and mechanical properties of the WC-8 wt% ZrO2 composites were investigated, and the relationship between the mechanical properties and microstructure was studied. The addition of VC and Cr3C2 not only retarded densification of the WC-ZrO2 material, but also significantly suppressed the growth of WC-grains and ZrO2-particles. For the WC-ZrO2 composite without VC and Cr3C2, microstructure coarsening at elevated temperatures caused degradation in hardness, whereas the hardness maintained a high value of similar to 22 GPa for the composite with VC and Cr3C2 additives as the microstructure remained fine. The fracture toughness of the WC-based materials toughened by 8 wt% ZrO2 seemed insensitive to the coarseness of microstructure, and achieved a value of similar to 11 MPa m(1/2) when VC and Cr3C2 were added.
