“…The corrosion rate of the latter (≈ 1.7 μm/h) is about four times higher than those exhibited by the other two cemented carbides (≈ 0.4 μm/h). Such a finding is in complete agreement with previous works by different research groups [11,13,14,16,17,21,23,32,51]. On the other hand, replacing most of the Co with Ni within the binder does not seem to improve corrosion resistance.…”
