The fracture toughness of a number of cemented carbide alloys have been determined; using a wedge-impact method for precracking. The materials were of WC-Co type with cobalt content ranging from 6 to 25 wt-% and mean carbide grain size between 1.0 and 3.3 pm. Within the investigated composition rang

## Abstract Few engineering materials are limited by their strength; rather they are limited by their resistance to fracture or fracture toughness. It is not by accident that most critical structures, such as bridges, ships, nuclear pressure vessels and so forth, are manufactured from materials tha
Fracture surface energy, obtained by the work of fracture method using notched beams, provides a simple and direct measure of the "toughness" of hardened cement paste that avoids relying on complex analytical procedures which may not be readily applicable to this type of material. Nevertheless, it i
