Abstract
- Cemented tungsten carbide (WC-10Co) and high-strength (AISI 4340) steel were successfully bonded by hot compaction diffusion bonding at a low temperature. The effects of holding time (5-50 min) on microstructure and mechanical properties of the sintered carbides and bonding strengths of the dissimilar bilayered composite materials were examined. The results show that the mechanical properties of the carbides increase, but the bonding strength increases firstly and then decreases with the increase in holding time. The maximum density and hardness achieved are 95.92 and 99.5%, respectively. A transitional layer forms at the interface as a result of elemental interdiffusion. The depth of the layer increases with the increase in holding time. The optimal bonding time is determined to be 40 min at a temperature of 1200°C and a pressure 160 MPa, by which the maximum bonding strength of 204 MPa of the WC-10Co/4340 steel joints can be achieved.
