The effects of rapid pulse electric current sintering (PECS), substitution of WC by NbC and Co by Ni, and carbide additives (TiC and Mo2C) on the microstructure, elastic modulus, B3B transverse rupture strength (TRS) and high temperature sliding wear on WC-Co, WC-Ni, NbC-Co and NbC-Ni cermets were studied. High temperature sliding wear tests were carried out using a ball-on-disk tribometer, with a 10 N force, at a sliding speed of 1.34 m/s for 0.8 km (10 min) and 2.4 km (30 min), using 100Cr6 (AISI 52100) steel balls at 400 °C and 0% humidity. Additions of TiC and Mo2C to NbC-12Ni improved the sliding wear resistance, with TiC having the greater effect, reducing the sample wear rate by over 30% from 15.1×10−6mm3/N·m to 9.4×10−6mm3/N·m after sliding distance of 2.4 km. Generally, the LPS samples had lower wear volumes than the corresponding SPS samples, due to higher K1c and TRS.
Full densification of Fe, Co and Ni bonded NbC based cermet’s was achieved by pressure less liquid phase sintering in vacuum for one hour at 1420°C. 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.
In the present work it was shown that the addition of VC or a combination of VC + Ti(C0.7N0.3) was efficient in reducing the NbC grain growth during liquid phase sintering, when compared to NbC-Ni equivalents. A finest NbC grain size of 1.48 µm was obtained in the NbC-15 Ti(C0.7N0.3)-10 Ni-7.5 VC cermet, exhibiting a hardness of 1486 +/- 7 kg/mm2 and a fracture toughness of 8.7 +/- 0.1 MPa m 1/2.
The current study reports on the influence of the Addition of 5–15 vol% VC or/and Mo2C carbide on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nickel bonded NbC cermets, which are compared to cobalt bonded NbC cermets. The NbC, Ni and secondary carbides powder mixtures were liquid phase sintered for 1 h at 1420 °C in vacuum. The fully densified cermets are composed of a cubic NbC grains matrix and an evenly distributed fcc Ni binder. NbC grain growth was significantly inhibited and a homogeneous NbC grain size distribution was obtained in the cermets with VC/Mo2C additions. The mechanical properties of the NbC-Ni matrix cermets are strongly dependent on the carbide and Ni binder content and are directly compared to their NbC-Co equivalents.
The liquid phase sintered NbC-12 vol% Ni cermet had a modest Vickers hardness (HV30) of 1077 ± 22 kg/mm2 and an indentation toughness of 9.1 ± 0.5 MPa·m1/2. With the addition of 10–15 vol% VC, the hardness increased to 1359 ± 15 kg/mm2, whereas the toughness increased to 11.3 ± 0.1 MPa·m1/2. Addition of 5 and 10 vol% Mo2C into a NbC-12 vol% Ni mixtures generated the same values in HV30 and KIC when compared to VC additions. A maximum flexural strength of 1899 ± 77 MPa was obtained in the cermet with 20 vol% Ni binder and 4 vol% VC+4 vol% Mo2C addition, exhibiting a high fracture toughness of 15.0 ± 0.5 MPa·m1/2, but associated with a loss in hardness due to the high Ni content. The dry sliding wear behaviour was established at room temperature and 400 °C from 0.1 to 10 m/s.
