This comprehensive review categorizes carbide and cermet microstructures—including WC phases, cubic carbides, functionally graded materials, and binder systems—highlighting their mechanical properties, industrial applications, and design evolution in aerospace and automotive tooling industries.
A state‑of‑the‑art analysis of traditional cutting and abrasive processes (turning, milling, grinding) for cemented carbide, including tool wear mechanisms, dry cutting strategies, tool design textures, and performance optimization for high-efficiency machining.
This paper focuses on advanced hard coatings (e.g., CVD, PVD, TiN, TiCN, Al₂O₃) applied to cemented carbide tools. It delves into coating adhesion, thermal stress effects, wear resistance, and the mechanisms behind crater and flank wear.
Offers a concise overview of additive manufacturing methods (SLM, SEBM, gel printing) applied to cemented carbides. Analyzes powder feedstock design, densification, microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and the challenges facing 3D‑printed carbide tooling.
