An investigation into the causes of the differece in the corrosion behaviour of WC-Co and WC-VC-Co hardmetals

The aim of this work was to investigate the cause of the difference in the corrosion behaviour of WC-Co and WC-VC-Co alloys. Two alloys of WC-Co and WC-10VC-Co with increasing Co content of up to 30 wt% and a WC-67VC-10Co alloy were analyzed in 1N sulfuric acid at room temperature. The binder compo...
