In this work, four different vacuum sintering temperatures (1250 degrees C, 1300 degrees C, 1350 degrees C and 1400 degrees C) were studied to determine the optimal process parameters of nano WC-15 wt% (Fe-Ni-Co) and WC-15 wt% Co sintered hard metal alloys. Experimental results showed that the optimal sintering temperatures for nano WC-(Fe-Ni-Co) and WC-Co alloys were 1300 degrees C and 1350 degrees C for 1 h, respectively. The sintered nano WC-(Fe-Ni-Co) and WC-Co hard metal alloys showed a good contiguity of 0.44 and 0.42; hardness was enhanced to HRA 90.83 and 90.92; the transverse rupture strength (TRS) increased to 2567.97 and 2860.08 MPa; and K-IC was 16.23 and 12.33 MPa root m, respectively. Although the nano WC-(Fe-Ni-Co) alloys possessed a slightly lower TRS value, they exhibited superior fracture toughness (KIC) and hardness similar to that of the nano WC-Co material. Significantly, nano WC-(Fe-Ni-Co) alloys could be sintered at a lower temperature and still retained their excellent mechanical properties. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
