International Journal of Refractory Metals & Hard Materials

The International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials (IJRMHM) publishes original research articles concerned with all aspects of refractory metals and hard materials. Refractory metals are defined as metals with melting points higher than 1800 °C. These are tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, tantalum, niobium, hafnium, and rhenium, as well as many compounds and alloys based thereupon. Hard materials that are included in the scope of this journal are defined as materials with hardness values higher than 1000 kg/mm2, primarily intended for applications as manufacturing tools or wear resistant components in mechanical systems. Thus they encompass carbides, nitrides and borides of metals, and related compounds. A special focus of this journal is put on the family of hardmetals, which is also known as cemented tungsten carbide, and cermets which are based on titanium carbide and carbonitrides with or without a metal binder. Ceramics and superhard materials including diamond and cubic boron nitride may also be accepted provided the subject material is presented as hard materials as defined above.

《国际耐火金属和硬质材料杂志》（IJRMHM）发表与耐火金属和硬质材料各方面有关的原创研究文章。耐火金属是指熔点高于 1800°C 的金属。这些金属包括钨、钼、铬、钽、铌、铪和铼，以及许多以它们为基础的化合物和合金。本杂志涵盖的硬质材料是指硬度值高于 1000 kg/mm2 的材料，主要用于制造工具或机械系统中的耐磨部件。因此，它们包括金属的碳化物、氮化物和硼化物以及相关化合物。本杂志特别关注硬质金属系列，也称为硬质钨硬质合金，以及基于碳化钛和碳氮化物（含或不含金属粘合剂）的金属陶瓷。只要主题材料属于上述定义的硬质材料，陶瓷和超硬材料（包括金刚石和立方氮化硼）也可以接受。
