Effect of W/B atomic ratio on the microstructure and mechanical properties of WCoB-TiC ceramic composites: first-principles calculations and experiment

The thermodynamic stability, mechanical properties and electronic properties of the WCoB and W2CoB2 hard phases in WCoB-TiC ceramic composites are analyzed by the first-principles calculations. The microstructure, hardness, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and fracture toughness (KIC) of WCoB-TiC c...
