Tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) mixtures is the most critical material for cemented carbide. However, traditional preparation methods by using various carbon sources (e, g. carbon black, glucose, methane, carbon monoxide) cause severe carbon deposition. Consequently, traditional WC-Co mixtures exhibits uncontrollable carbon content. To address the challenge, we investigate the in-situ synthesis of WC-Co mixtures by supplying successive liquid methanol as a carbon source and nitrogen gas as a diluent. The as-prepared WC-Co mixture possesses clean surface and controllable carbon content, which are no need for removing excess carbon deposition by washing with water. The carbon nanolayers derived from methanol cracking gas appear on the surface of the intermediates, which can effectively prevent particle aggregation, efficiently increase the intimate contact probability of WC particles and Co particles, and greatly reduce the appearance of excess carbon deposition during subsequent carbonization processes. The present study offers insights on employing quantitative methanol cracking gas as reductive and carbonaceous atmosphere to mediate carbon content in the WC-Co composite powder, which presents a more economical and efficient pathway for large-scale synthesis of high-quality WC-Co mixtures with clean surface and controllable carbon content.
