T1 - Potentials of niobium carbide (NbC) as cutting tools and for wear protection N2 - Research and development of WC grades is 90 years ahead of niobium carbide-based hard materials, which showed already as light-weight and unexplored material a very high potential for many technical applications, especially for wear protection and machining. NbC evoluted recently from lab scale to pilot scale, especially in areas where established WC-based materials are causing economic, environmental or technical concerns. Benchmark trials of NbC-based hard metals indicated already a favorable performance in machining of steel components.

T1 - Potentials of niobium carbide (NBC) as cutting tools and for wear protection N2 - Niobium is today largely available. NbC displayed lower dry sliding friction over WC grades. The softer Ni- and NiMo-bonded NbC1.0-grades have a higer abrasive wear resistance (ASTM G65), even with lower toughnesses, than the tougher WC-Co grades and harder NbC-Co grades.

T1 - Potentials of niobium carbide (NbC) as cutting tools and for wear protection N2 - The tool lifes of uncoated NiMo and NiMo2C-bonded stoichiometric NbC1.0 grades under dry turning 42CrMo4 and C45E were between +30 % to + 100 % higher and up compared to WC-6Co (fine grain). Niobium is today largely available. NbC grades displayed lower dry sliding friction over WC grades. T2 - 19.
