Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The strength and wear resistance of cermets based on zirconium carbide are determined by the conditions under which load is applied to them and also, in the case of any one system, such as ZrC-Nb, by the thickness of the metallic layers and, in the case of different systems, other things being equal, by the nature of the binding metal.

  2. 2.

    Plots have been constructed showing that the intensity of wear of cermets belonging to one or different systems falls with increase in transverse rupture and compressive strengths.

  3. 3.

    It has been established that the transverse rupture and compressive strengths of the cermets and their intensity of wear when exposed to a gas-abrasive stream under various conditions are determined by the difference in the degree of localization of valence electrons between the metallic binder and the carbideforming metal.
