description | Tungsten carbide based cemented carbides, often simply termed hardmetals, are established forefront materials for tools, structural components, and wear parts with stringent requirements. Several of the technological applications in which they are used include exposure to chemically aggressive media. Under these conditions, failure induced under applied load may be accelerated; and consequently, the service life may be decreased. Within this context, this work addresses the influence of corrosion-induced damage on the mechanical integrity and load-bearing capability of hardmetals at different length scales, i.e., from 100s nanometers to 1000s microns. Experimental data acquired by means of nanoindentation, pyramidal, and spherical indentation, as well as sliding contact (micro- and nanoscratch) techniques, are presented. The attained results allow for identifying guidelines for the microstructural design of these materials under combined consideration of corrosion and mechanical contact as service-like conditions. Discussion of the reported findings includes a critical analysis of corrosion effects on the evolution of microstructure-property-performance interrelations for the materials under consideration. |
