✦ Synopsis


The processing and properties of cemented carbides are highly dependent on the basic nature of the component, i.e. hard carbide and soft metal binder phases. The present overview covers the nature of refractory carbides and binders, phase equilibria, and sintering and mechanical properties. The role of microstructural evolution during sintering is also highlighted.
