In-Depth Understanding of Fatigue Micromechanisms in Cemented Carbides: Implications for Optimal Microstructural Tailoring

The fatigue mechanics and mechanisms of cemented carbides (composites usually referred to as hardmetals) are reviewed. The influence of microstructure on strength lessening and subcritical crack growth for these ceramic-metal materials when subjected to cyclic loads are highlighted. The simultaneous...
