Nano-Indentation Properties of Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt Composites as a Function of Tungsten Carbide Crystal Orientation

Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) composites are a class of advanced materials that have unique properties, such as wear resistance, hardness, strength, fracture-toughness and both high temperature and chemical stability. It is well known that the local indentation properties (i.e., nano- and micro-ha...
