Influence of a Functionally Gradient Surface on Cracking in WC/Co Hardmetals

  • Chapter
Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics

Part of the book series: Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics ((FMOC,volume 12))

Abstract

Tungsten carbide-cobalt hardmetals (WC/Co) are the most important cutting tool materials in modern technology. High hardness and wear resistance on the one hand side as well as high strength and chipping resistance on the other hand make them superior to high speed steels and ceramics1,2.
