Abstract:Tungsten carbide based cemented carbides, often simply termed hardmetals, are established forefront materials for tools, structural components, and wear parts with stringent requirements. Several of the technological applications in which they are used include exposure to chemically aggressive media. Under these conditions, failure induced under applied load may be accelerated; and consequently, the service life may be decreased. Within this context, this work addresses the influence of corrosion-induced damag… Show more
