Diamond coating adhesion on WC − 6 %Co tools: A systematic study
Achieving a consistent and well-adhering diamond coating remains a challenge for WC-Co tools. We analyze the microstructure of tungsten carbide and cobalt using electron microscopy and diffraction techniques. We examine batches with good and poor layer adhesion at three stages: uncoated, after pretreatment, and after coating. The samples are differentiated based on their magnetic saturation value. This study focuses on WC-6 %Co with a mean WC grain size of 1.2 μm and vanadium doping.
The results reveal a direct correlation between magnetic saturation and diamond coating adhesion to the substrate surface. Magnetic values represent the tungsten content and, consequently, the corrosion resistance of the binder phase (cobalt). An ignoble binder (low corrosion resistance) is prone to excessive etching and improper diamond nucleation. Batches with a noble binder show consistent coating formation, consistent diameter reduction, and consistent depletion zone depth. In contrast, batches with an ignoble binder exhibit significant changes in these areas.
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.
