“…In turn, they are surrounded by the ductile metallic binder phase. The binder is usually cobalt-based [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] but also can consist of Cr [ 10 ], Cu [ 11 , 13 ], Al [ 14 , 15 ], nickel or Ni-based alloys [ 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ] or iron [ 16 ] or Fe-based alloys such as Fe–Ni, Fe–Ni–Co, Fe–Cr, Fe–Al [ 20 ], Fe–Ni–C [ 21 ], Fe–Ni, Fe–Ni–Co, Fe–Mn [ 17 , 22 ], Fe–Ni–Co [ 8 , 23 ], Fe–Cr–Ti(C,N) [ 23 ], Fe–Al–B [ 24 ], FeAl, Ni 3 Al [ 18 ], Fe–Ni–Cr [ 19 , 25 ], Fe–Ni–Co [ 9 ], Fe–Cu [ 26 ], FeAl [ 27 , 28 ], Fe–Mn [ 29 , 30 ], Fe–Ni–C [ 31 ], H13 Hudson tool steel [ 32 ], AISI 304 stainless steel [ 33 , 34 ] and high vanadium tool steels such as PM10V and PM 15 V [ 35 ].…”
