%), There are 6 types of materials. The characteristic of this system is that the WC is made coarse and the particle size is made uniform.
Characteristic is that particles of ~ 6 microns are uniformly dispersed.

なる。Next, for mining, mainly E3, E4,
E5 equivalent products are used according to the purpose of use. However, looking at the grade of this system from the fracture toughness value, while the transverse rupture strength, which is one measure of strength, shows a value exceeding 300 kg / mm 2 , crack propagation is the cause of fracture. In the fracture toughness value, its propagation depends on the Co content,
This tendency becomes remarkable especially in the case of a high hardness material having a small amount of Co.

分布、特に細粒を減少させる必要がある。The cause of this is that the effect of stopping cracks becomes small due to the thinning of the mfp (mean free path) of the amount of Co, and the strength is not sufficiently improved. is there. Crack propagation is WC
Since it becomes difficult to propagate in the order of the boundary between the particles and Co, the grains of WC, and the inside of Co, it is necessary to increase the thickness of mfp and reduce the particle size distribution of WC, particularly the fine grains.

できることが分かった。Therefore, on the microstructure, the conventional E-type WC particles have a polygonal shape, the number of contacts between WC and WC particles increases, and crack propagation is likely to occur. Therefore, without growing the WC particles into a polygonal shape,
It was found that the boundary between WC particles and Co can be reduced by maintaining the shape with the particle edges dropped during the process of mixing and crushing even after sintering.

である。Function: That is, 80 to 95% by weight of WC and the remaining Co
In a WC-based cemented carbide composed of a binder phase containing as a main component and unavoidable impurities, the WC grain size of the hard phase is a coarse grain WC (7 μm or more) in an area ratio from the microstructure on the polished surface.
30%, medium grain WC (4 to 7 μm) 30 to 60%, the rest fine grain WC (4 μm or less), and the carbon amount in the two-phase region in terms of WC converted to the theoretical value or less. First, coarse particles are used for WC to thicken mfp, and carbon is suppressed as much as possible to suppress grain growth and suppress crack propagation.

施例に基づき、詳細に説明する。The reason for limiting the numerical values will be described below. Coarse-grained WC 7 μm is less than 10%, crack propagation is likely to occur, and if it exceeds 30%, hardness (HRA) decreases, so the content was made 10 to 30%. Medium grain WC4-7μm is 3
If it is less than 0%, crack propagation is large, and if it exceeds 60%, almost uniform grain size is obtained, so that it is 30 to 60%. The fine particles are left because they are observed on the polished surface and are caused by the positional relationship of the cutting. Also, the amount of carbon is specified to be 6.13% or less in terms of WC, because the higher the amount of carbon in the two-phase region, the more the particles grow,
Particles grow easily due to dissolution and precipitation in the sintering process,
When it is 6.13% or less in terms of WC, this tendency is suppressed, and the polygonal particle shape has slightly rounded corners. Hereinafter, detailed description will be given based on examples.

The surface was lapped and finished into a mirror surface, and the microstructure was observed and classified according to the average grain size (major axis diameter + minor axis diameter) / 2, and the area was applied to each image processing device. Furthermore, as one of the methods of HRA measurement and fracture toughness, the Vickers indentation method (crack average length-cracks generated in squares of indentation by Vickers hardness meter) was measured. The results are also shown in Table 1.
