Conclusions
A study was made of some aspects of molten nickel penetration into titanium carbide hard metals. It is shown that, when such a liquid phase migrates through a semiinfinite rod, the variation of the concentration of the binder metal along the length of the rod may be described by a hyperbolic function. The dependence of the thickness of the layer of increased nickel content on time of contact between the specimen and the melt was determined. It is demonstrated that, by employing the method of infiltration of a hard metal with a liquid metal, it is possible to produce parts possessing varying physicomechanical properties.
