Cemented Carbides Alloyed with Ruthenium, Osmium, and ...
This results in precipitation hardening of the binder phase. Additions of Ru, Re, and Os increase the hardness, and bend, compression and yield strengths, of WC ― Co alloys. Examples of the successful use of WC ― Co cemented carbide tools alloyed with noble metals for the machining of heatresistant alloys and highalloy steels are given.
