CEMENTED CARBIDE MATERIAL AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A cemented carbide material comprises WC, between around 3 to around 10 wt. % Co and between around 0.5 to around 8 wt. % Re. The equivalent total carbon (ETC) content of the cemented carbide material with respect to WC is between around 6.3 wt. % to around 6.9 wt. % and the cemented carbide material is substantially free of eta-phase and free carbon. There is also disclosed a method of producing such a material and use of such a material.
