WC-Co-Re cemented carbides: Structure, properties and potential applications
WC-Co-Re cemented carbides: Structure, properties and potential applications is a scholarly work, published in 2019 in ''International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, carbide, tunnel boring machine, composite material, metallurgy, cemented carbide, rhenium, nanodiamonds, microstructure, Hard metal, grain size, creep, phase diagram, composite number, sintering, carbon fibers, and phase. Rhenium being dissolved in the Co-based binder is found to be a very strong grain growth inhibitor with respect to WC coarsening during liquid-phase sintering.
