T1 - Substitution of tungsten carbide by niobium carbide as cutting materials and for wear protection T2 - Reibung, Schmierung und Verschleiß N2 - Im binären System NbC-C existieren verschiedene Phasen im Homogenitätsbereich NbCₓ, mit 0,75 ≤ x ≤ 1,0, wie NbC, Nb₆C₅ und Nb₄ C₃ , die ein breites Prozessfenster beim Sintern und in der Werkstoffentwicklung ermöglichen. Die Mikrohärte, die Warmhärte, der Verschleißwiderstand, das Elastizitätsmodul und die Zähigkeit von Hartmetallen hängen vom C/Nb-Verhältnis ab, wie auch von der Zugabe von Sekundärcarbiden. N2 - Several phases, like Nb₄ C₃ , Nb₆C₅ and other short and long range ordered phases occur in the region of homogeneity of NbCₓ (0.75 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) in the binary phase diagram. Properties, like micro-hardness, hot hardness, sliding wear resistance, elastic modulus and toughness can be tailored by the C/Nb ratio, the addition of secondary carbides and the type of binder. Supporting results from different grades with varying C/Nb ratio or binder types were illuminated. Thus, the NbC system offers to producers a wider process window, than WC. The impact of these tailored properties on sliding wear and cutting performance was illuminated by tribological and machining results. Niobium is today largely available. NbC can be synthesized by carbothermal conversion of Nb₂O₅ or be metallurgically grown and leached out, provides comparably low friction in many relevant tribo-contacts and displays low wear. NbC and Nb₂O₅ have so far no REACH classification related to human toxicology and are not listed as substances of very high concern contrary to WO₃ and Co₃ O₄ . T2 - 57.

The hardness and toughness of the NbC matrix cermet’s can be mainly tailored by the binder composition and secondary carbide additions. Ni binder based NbC cermet’s allow the combination of high hardness and improved toughness. The addition of lesser amounts of VC/Cr3C2 in a NbC partially substituted WC-Co cemented carbide increased significantly the hardness in combination with a moderate fracture toughness.

The initial NbC grade was substoichiometric, SPS sintered and cobalt bonded (NbC0.88-12Co SPS). The NiMo-bonded stoichiometric NbC1.0 grades enable the subtituion of cobalt by nickel, SPS by conventional sintering and NbC0.88 by NbC1.0 in view of functional properties. Nickel bonded NbC grades have improved toughnesses versus cobalt bonded NbC grades, but lose hardness. NiMo and NiMo2C bonded NbC1.0 grades compensated the loss in hardness while keeping the toughness.

All cermets were prepared by pressureless sintering in vacuum. Detailed microstructural investigation was performed by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Sintering results indicated that both the sintering temperature and secondary carbide additions had a significant effect on the properties of NbC-Ni cermets. Nickel pools and residual pores were observed in the cermets sintered at temperatures ≤ 1340 °C. Increasing of the sintering temperature up to 1420 or 1480 °C resulted in fully densified NbC-Ni based cermets composed of homogeneous contrast cubic NbC grains for the single carbide (VC or Mo2C) modyfied system, whereas core-rim structured NbC grains were observed with the additon of TiC + VC or TiC+Mo2C. The secondary carbide doped cermets with 5–10 vol.% VC/Mo2C and 10 vol.% TiC showed a significantly improved hardness and fracture toughness, as compared to the plain NbC-Ni cermets. T2 - 19.
