Organisationseinheit der BAM
Due to the rapidly increasing price of tungsten carbide and the significant health risks associated with the wear products of WC-Co (Co3O4 and Wo3), an alternative is required. Niobium carbide (NbC) is well suited as a cutting tool due to its high melting point and low solubility in iron. So far, NbC-Ni cermets best met the requirements of high hardness and toughness. Various secondary carbides such as VC, Mo2C, TiC, but also WC were added to further improve the hardness.
