Impact-abrasion and abrasion of WC-Co: wear mechanisms in severe environments

Conference ·
OSTI ID:899006
Hard and super-hard materials have very good abrasive wear resistance. However, in many severe wear environments that make use of these materials, impact is a significant component of that environment. Consequently, the behavior of many of these hard materials in impact-wear conditions need to be understood with respect to the mechanisms of material removal such small scale fracture and subsequent crack growth in the carbide. This study details the behavior of several ?hard? materials in abrasion and impact-abrasion focusing on the mechanisms of material removal due to impact and abrasion.
