“…Due to the development of the furniture industry, the demand for new tool materials has increased in recent years, providing increasingly higher machining parameters and improved performance. The researchers’ works are focused mainly on improving the cutting and strength properties of WC-Co carbides, by: hard coating, ion implantation or development of new composite materials based on WC-Co [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Despite all efforts of materials engineering, the “ideal tool material” has not yet been developed.…”
