Development of Analysis and Testing Technologies for Cemented Carbide
The applications of new instrument and technologies for the analysis of cemented carbide were investigated by comparing the change of the analytical method standards within latest ten years.The new instrument and technologies for the analysis of cemented carbide and powder were reviewed from five aspects:carbon content determination,trace impurity content determination,major element content determination,microstructure observation as well as physical and mechanical properties testing.It is obvious that the instrumental analysis methods will replace the conventional chemical analysis methods in the future.The analysis of chemical compositio and microstructure will be combined with sudace morphology analysis in one set.The analysis of physical and mechanical properties will be combined with component and microstructure analysis.The development of cemented carbide analysis and testing will focus on the analysis of service efficiency of cemented carbide through mathematical model and computer simulation technique.
