Abstract

This paper reports the results of a comprehensive investigation into the abrasion resistance of WC-Co alloys, as measured by the ASTM Standard B 611-85 test. The alloys ranged from 3 to 50 wt% and from 0.6 to 5 mu m average grain size. Careful control of the grain size has led to new results and new insight into the relationships between abrasion resistance, hardness, cobalt content, grain size and mean free path.
