摘要
Cr3C2 and VC doped WC-10 wt.% Si3N4 composites were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The influences of Cr3C2 and VC on densification behavior, grain growth and mechanical properties of the WC-Si3N4 composites were investigated. During densification of the WC-based materials, the Cr3C2 and VC additives assist the preliminary densification of solid-state-sintering, and mitigate the subsequent densification of liquid-sintering. The addition of Cr3C2 and VC shows an inhibitory effect against WC-grain growth, resulting in higher hardness for the WC-Si3N4 composites. Moreover, the inhibitors do not hinder the transformation of alpha to beta-Si3N4 and the growth of elongated beta-Si3N4 grains, which act as toughening agent for the composites.
