摘要:
A rotary tool that includes an elongate tool body and a hard insert affixed to the tool body is disclosed. The hard insert includes a WC-cermet including tungsten carbide and about 5 wt. % to 19 wt. % Co--Ni--Fe-binder. The Co--Ni--Fe-binder is unique in that even when subjected to plastic deformation, the binder substantially maintains its face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure and avoids stress and/or strain induced transformations.

A pick-style tool that includes an elongate tool body with an axially forward end and an axially rearward end, and a hard insert affixed to the tool body at the axially forward end is disclosed. The hard insert comprises a WC-cermet comprising tungsten carbide and about 5 wt. % to 27 wt. % Co—Ni—Fe-binder. The Co—Ni—Fe-binder is unique in that even when subjected to plastic deformation, the binder substantially maintains its face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure and avoids stress and/or strain induced transformations.

An elongate rotary tool including at least one cutting edge that is useful in the machining of workpiece materials is disclosed. The elongate rotary tool comprises a cermet comprising at least one hard component and about 0.2 wt. % to 19 wt. % Co--Ni--Fe-binder. The Co--Ni--Fe-binder is unique in that even when subjected to plastic deformation, the binder substantially maintains its face centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure and avoids stress and/or strain induced transformations.

Cermets having a Co--Ni--Fe-binder are described. The Co--Ni--Fe-binder is unique in that even when subjected to plastic deformation, the binder substantially maintains its face centered cubic crystal structure and avoids stress and/or strain induced phase transformations. Stated differently, the Co--Ni--Fe-binder exhibits reduced work hardening.

A sintered cemented carbide body (e.g., a cutting tool) and a method of making the same. The sintered cemented carbide body includes tungsten carbide, a binder phase of at least one metal of the iron group or an alloy thereof, and one or more solid solution phases. Each one of the solid solution phases has at least one of the carbides and carbonitrides of a combination of zirconium, niobium, and tungsten. The method includes the steps of providing a powder mixture that contains tungsten carbide, a binder metal powder comprising at least one metal of the iron group or an alloy thereof, and at least one of the carbides and carbonitrides of both zirconium and niobium including a powder of the carbides or carbonitrides of zirconium and niobium, forming a green compact of said powder mixture, and vacuum sintering or sinter-HIP said green compact at a temperature of from 1400 to 1560° C.

摘要:
The invention proposes a fine grained sintered cemented carbide containing chromium and based on WC and a binder based on Co or CoNiFe, and having at least one additional phase comprising at least one carbide or mixed carbide of tantalum. For improving the high-temperature properties while simultaneously maintaining a good trade-off between hardness and bending strength, it is proposed that the sintered cemented carbide contains approximately 0.3 to 4% Ta, as related to the total mass of the sintered cemented carbide, that the WC has a grain size of between 0.1 and 1.3 μm, that the binder phase contains the metals W, Cr and Ta, dissolved in solid solution, and that the at least one additional phase comprises a TaC phase visible by optical microscopy. The invention further relates to a powder-metallurgical process for manufacturing the sintered cemented carbide and to the use of the sintered cemented carbide for manufacturing cutting tools having improved high-temperature properties.
