STEM analysis of grain boundaries in cemented carbides

There is controversy over whether the cobalt binder of liquid phase sintered WC forms a continuous skin over the WC particles or whether the carbide grains form a continuous skeleton. It is shown that the atomic Co/W ratio in the 20-A grain boundaries is >3 times larger than that in the grains, supporting the former model.
