Hardening tungsten carbide by alloying elements with high work function

Abstract: There is intensive searching for superhard materials in both theoretical and experimental studies. Refractory and transition metal carbides are typical materials with high hardness. In this study, first‐principles calculations were performed first to analyze the electronic structures and mechanical properties of the tungsten‐carbide‐based compounds. The results indicated that tungsten carbide could be hardened by alloying elements with high work functions to tailor the Fermi level and electron density. Guided … Show more

“…However, in the present study, Q2 was higher heat than Q1 due to the energy supplied was converted into heat energy had faced the intense rubbing and friction at the chip-tool interface during high-speed machining. In addition, choice of using a tungsten carbide cutting tool in the simulation as this material known for their hardness and wear resistance thus can generate quality [39]. Thus, cryo-CO2 was utilised as it likely absorbs heat from the cutting zone and carries it away through convection as per Figure 10(c), contributing to effective heat dissipation.…”

“…For traditional carbides, the Fermi level and, therefore, the bonding properties can be tailored by adding other elements. For example, WC can be hardened by adding Re (31). For HECs, this same concept can be used to design materials with desirable properties and tunable covalent bond strengths, as discussed below.…”
