“…19/1-19/6;Fischer, Hartzell, & Akerman, 1988). Functionally graded cemented carbides similar to the Sadnvik DP60 grade were produced and examined in detail by Zhang, Wang, et al (2008), Zhang, Zhan, et al (2008), Liu, Wang, Yang, Huang, and Long (2004), and Liu et al (2006); the results of these publications are shown in Figure 7. The functionally graded cemented carbides are produced in a two-stage process comprising (1) fabrication of fully sintered carbide articles deficient with respect to carbon and therefore containing the h-phase and (2) carburization of the articles in a carburizing atmosphere at temperatures above 1300 C in the presence of liquid phase.…”
