Repetitive Thermal Shock Of WC-Co Cemented Carbides: Assessment Of Surface Integrity Changes By Means Of Spherical Indentation
Sudden changes in temperature are recognized to be critical service-like conditions that may drive failure in cemented carbides tools and components. From a physical viewpoint, thermal shock damage in ceramic-metal composites, such as cemented carbides, is a complex phenomenon. On the one hand, it involves introduction...
