Solid-solubilities of grain-growth inhibitors in WC-Ni-based cemented carbides: experimental investigations and thermodynamic calculations

Cr3C2, TaC and VC are the most widely used grain growth inhibitors (GGIs) in cemented carbides. The inhibition effectiveness and the formation of brittle carbides by over-doping these GGIs are closely associated with their solubilities in the binder phase. A series of WC-Ni-based “model alloys” with...
