Niobium is today largely available. 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.
The present work deals with Niobcarbid (NbC). Strategic reflections on tungsten carbide and more and more stringent toxicological restrictions for cobalt associated for both with spiraling stock market prices have attracted recently some attention for Niobium carbide as a substitute for tungsten carbide in machining.
The cause and type of solid particle erosion varies across different industries and locations in plants, for instance the particles could be volcanic ash in aero-engines, fly ash in boilers, exfoliated scale in steam turbines or mineral matter in oil excavation. In all cases the durability of materials can be improved through better surface engineering and coatings, but the development of these is restricted also due to lack of generic models. In this respect, the simulation of a single impact with finite element methods using 100.000 knots would take about 15 minutes. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, up to one billion of such impacts would have to be considered. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, the current work presents an alternative approach capable of calculating about half a billion impacts on a substrate in less than six hours on a standard PC. The predictions of the simulation will be compared to a steel sample at 600°C eroded by aluminum oxide particles with a velocity around 210 m/s.
The aim of the study presented in this paper is to highlight the potential of niobium carbide cutting tool inserts for machining and to compare their performance to commercially available tungsten carbide inserts. In this work, a comparison between a conventional Wc-Co insert and NbC-Co inserts was carried out under hard machining conditions on specimens made of 100Cr6 bearing steel grade (SAE 52100).
The aim of this research is to characterize a surface that has experienced low wear on asperities. The procedure used is similar to an Abbott-Firestone approach and based on functional bearing of projected area, surface area and material volume. Surface features extracted from surface height maps provide more comprehensive information about topography changes due to wear. Thus, they were used to detect low wear volumes on the top of asperities.
