The sinterability, microstructure, mechanical properties, etc., of β(N)-W and β(N)-WC compacts (β(N); WC-TiC-TiN solid solution) were studied in detail as a function of sintering temperature (1823-2073K) and atmosphere (vacuum of 7Pa or N2 gas of 10kPa).
It was found that the above properties of both compacts were sharply affected in particular by sintering atmospheres, and mechanical properties of β(N)-WC compacts would be most excellent, when sintered in nitrogen atmosphere.
