<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hardmetal compositions, their fabrication methods and associated applications. <P>SOLUTION: In the hardmetal compositions, each including hard particles having a first material and a binder matrix having a second, different material comprising rhenium or a Ni-based superalloy. A two-step sintering process may be used to fabricate such hardmetals at relatively low sintering temperatures in the solid-state phase to produce substantially fully-densified hardmetals. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
