Effect of Electric Current on Phase Formation in Tungsten Monocarbide in the Process of Electro Consolidation of Nano Powders

Evolutions in Mechanical EngineeringIn this case, a nano powder synthesized by Wolfram (Austria) was used.The conducted studies of the obtained cutting material showed a fairly high wear resistance when processing hardened alloy steels and other high-hardness alloys.However, further studies of this material showed that along with tungsten monocarbide (WC), there is an insignificant amount of W 2 C, which is known to reduce the strength of the material.It was obvious that further improve-
