CEMENTED CARBIDE BODY WITH INCREASED WEAR RESISTANCE

摘要

As there is disclosed a cemented carbide body comprising WC with an average grain size of <10 mum in a binder phase. In the cemented carbide body the WC grains can be classified in at least two groups in which a group of smaller grains has a maximum grain size amax and a group of larger grains has a minimum grain size bmin and each group contains at least 10 % of the total amount of WC grains. According to the invention bmin-amax>0.5 mum and the difference in grain size within each group is >1 mum.
