Liquid Phase Sintering of Carbides Using a Nickel-Molybdenum Alloy

Abstract

Liquid phase vacuum sintering was used to densify four carbide groups. These were titanium carbide, tungsten carbide, vanadium carbide, and zirconium carbide. The liquid phase consisted of nickel with additions of molybdenum from 6.25 to 50.0 weight percent at doubling increments. The liquid phase or binder compromised 10, 20, and 40 weight percent of the pressed powders. The specimens were tested using three-point bending. Keywords: Liquid phase sintering, Carbides, Nickel-molybdenum alloy, Powder metallurgy.
