Author:Curle, Ulyate ADate:Jul 2017The issue regarding globular grain shape and size has been a topic for semi-solid processing since the discovery of the technique. Semi-solid rheo-processing takes advantage of cooling a liquid metal alloy to the solid + liquid phase field, ...Read more
Author:Nabarro, FRNDate:Aug 2000If a stress sigma is applied to a polycrystal of grain size L, the mode of creep deformation depends on the answers to the following questions: (i) Does sigma exceed the Peierls stress sigma (p); (ii) Does L exceed the dislocation spacing in ...Read more
Author:O'Quigley, DGF; Luyckx, S; James, MNDate:May 1996Two sets of WC-Co grades were produced, with cobalt content ranging from 3 to 50 wt.%. The mean grain size of the two sets was 2.2 and 6 mu m respectively. The two sets of grades were used to investigate the relationship between hardness and ...Read more
Author:Makhele-Lekala, L; Luyckx, S; Nabarro, FRNDate:2001The Vickers hardness of several well-characterized grades of WC-Co (23 in total) was measured. The mean grain size of these samples ranged from 0.6 to 5.0 mums and the cobalt content from 6 to 50 wt%. An empirical formula between hardness of ...Read more
