Microstructure and properties of WC-12Co fabricated by LPBF using plasma spheroidized powder
This study compares WC-Co samples fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) using plasma spheroidized and granulated powders. The LPBF-processed samples using plasma-spheroidized powder exhibited a 76.5 % reduction in porosity compared to those fabricated with granulated powder. The results show that the plasma-spheroidized WC-Co powder significantly improves the densification of the printed samples which mainly benefits from its higher laser absorptivity. The LPBF-ed WC-Co sample obtained with granulated powder has lower hardness due to the aggregation of coarse grains and denser interfaces between coarse and fine grains. The wear mechanism of the LPBF-ed WC-Co sample obtained with granulated powder is mainly abrasive wear, while the wear mechanism of the LPBF-ed WC-Co sample obtained with plasma spheroidized WC-Co powder is a combination of abrasive wear and adhesive wear. Due to the presence of α-Co, the LPBF-ed WC-Co sample obtained with plasma spheroidized WC-Co powder has better wear resistance.
期刊介绍:
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.
