Toughening cemented carbides by phase transformation of zirconia

Yttria partially stabilized zirconia was introduced into WC-Co cemented carbides to enhance their mechanical performance. The hardness and fracture toughness were improved simultaneously with the addition of ZrO2. Particularly, the fracture toughness of the cemented carbides was significantly enhanc...
