Work of Adhesion Analysis for Metal-Substituted W4C4 Carbides in a Cobalt Matrix

“…WC-based ceramics exhibit notable electrical conductivity, thereby enabling their utilization in electrical discharge machining (EDM) to produce intricate components. During the past two decades, significant research efforts were made to create bulk ceramic nanomaterials that exhibited at least one phase with grain sizes typically less than 100 nm. − These substances have been found to exhibit superior performances in terms of tribological, mechanical, and physical attributes at both room and elevated temperatures, rendering them a more appealing option for critical structural applications in comparison with their traditional equivalents. − Additive manufacturing (AM) has become a popular alternative to traditional manufacturing methods due to its ability to produce intricate shapes with high efficiency and low cost. − This has resulted in growing interest in using AM to manufacture WC-Co hard metals. Unlike traditional processes, AM technology creates parts by adding layers of material, resulting in more complex geometries while also reducing time and cost. − Additive manufacturing methods have become a popular choice for producing complex-shaped WC-Co hard-metal cutting tools with internal cooling channels.…”
