The effects of TaC on the microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis(EDS), X-ray diffractometry(XRD) and mechanical properties tests. The results show that the maximum values of hardness and strength are HV 1124 and 2466 MPa respectively when 0.4% TaC is added. When the content of TaC is more than 0.6%, the grain size of WC is no longer affected by the amount of TaC, and(W,Ta)C occurs as well. Moreover, the strength and fracture toughness increase and the(Ta+W) content decreases with the increase of TaC content. The dependence of(Ta+W) content on the mechanical properties indicates that(Ta+W) content in Co should be decreased as low as possible to improve the mechanical properties of coarse grained WC-TaC-9Co cemented carbides with the microstructure of WC+γ two phase regions.展开更多

To minimize the early formation of graphite and to enhance the diamond film adhesion, a WC-Co coating was used as an interlayer on the steel substrates by high velocity oxy-fuel spraying. The effects of methane content on nucleation, quality, residual stress and adhesion of diamond films were investigated. The results indicate that the increasing methane content leads to the increase in nucleation density, residual stress, the degradation of quality and adhesion of diamond films. Diamond films deposited on high-speed steel （HSS） substrate with a WC-Co interlayer exhibit high nucleation density and good adhesion under the condition of the methane content initially set to be a higher value （4%, volume fraction） for 30 min, and then reduced to 2% for subsequent growth at pressure of 3 kPa and substrate temperature of 800 ℃.展开更多
