    Nano-sized WC powder that is expected as the raw material for nano-sized WC-Co hardmetals with high hardness and strength was developed. The reaction path and morphological change in the reaction process of WO3 with carbon powder (direct carburization) were firstly investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The proper reaction condition examined by the thermogravimetric analysis was developed to trial production by direct carburization facilities.
    The direct carburization reaction from WO3 to WC occurred through the generation of several intermediate products in the order of WO3 → WO2.72 → WO2 → W → W2C → WC. The nano-sized particles were generated at the stage from WO2.72 to WO2. We succeeded in the development of nano-sized WC powder less than 100 nm by controlling the reaction conditions for each intermediate products.

    The microstructure and properties of WC-0.9mass%Cr3C2-0.5mass%VC-10mass%Co submicro-grained hardmetal sintered compacts which were prepared by hybrid sintering (a combination method of directly electrifying hot-press sintering with normal sintering, i.e., externally heating pressureless sintering) and normal sintering were investigated. It was found that the lowest sintering temperature for almost full density (≥99% of theoretical density) in hybrid sintering was lower by 30 K than that in normal sintering. The mean grain size of WC in the alloy with almost full density, however, was nearly the same of 0.16 μm for both sinterings. The hardness of the highest value was almost the same of 2170 HV for both sinterings. Thus, it was concluded that hybrid sintering has no merits as far as in grain size and hardness, compared with normal sintering.

    HRTEM (high resolution transmission electron microscope) microstructure and the segregation amount of dopants at WC/Co interfaces were investigated on TiC and TaC mono-doped WC-10mass%Co submicro-grained hardmetals, following the previous studies on VC, Cr3C2 and VC+Cr3C2 doped hardmetals. The dopant amounts in the specimen were nearly a half of the solubility limit in Co liquid phase. At WC(0001)/Co interface, Ti segregated in a small amount and Ta hardly segregated. At WC(1010)/Co interface, both Ti and Ta hardly segregated. The order of segregation amounts (at% of metal of carbide or mol% of carbide) of dopants at WC(0001)/Co interface (TaC<TiC<Cr3C2<VC≤VC+Cr3C2) were not necessarily positively correlated with the magnitude of grain growth inhibition effect (TiC<Cr3C2<TaC<VC≤VC+Cr3C2). This suggested that the segregation layers of dopants themselves were not directly related with WC grain growth inhibition mechanism and that the layer was not generated by an equilibrium segregation mechanism during the sintering stage, but by a heterogeneous precipitation mechanism during the cooling stage of sintering.

    The conditions for the generation of Co rich layer on the surface of sintered compact of WC-Co submicro-grained hardmetals doped with VC and Cr3C2 were investigated. The following were found: (1) At a normal conditions (1563K-3.6ks, 0.07K/s), there were two kinds, i.e., granular and flat Co rich layers, and these layers were generated at medium sintering temperature, and at any C, VC, Cr3C2 and Co contents, and (2) the granular and flat layer were not generated at higher sintering temperature and at higher cooling rate of sintering, respectively, for all kind alloys. Namely, two kinds of Co rich layers were not generated, when the alloy compacts were sintered at high temperature and then rapidly cooled.

    In the fabrications of the next generation inkjet nozzle and optical fiber connector with higher precision than the present one (±0.5μm), the development of high precision mold by WC-Co submicro-grained hardmetal is strongly demanded, because the hardmetal has higher wear resistance, higher fracture strength, etc., together with high rigidity. We are trying to establish the manufacturing technology of such molds with precision of ±0.3μm (the interim goal) and ±0.1μm (the final goal) by using micro-electric discharge machining and centerless grinding.
    The surface roughness of rectangular alloy body that was electric discharge machined and than lapped became finer with decreasing WC grain size from ±2.5μm to ±0.5μm.
    In the jogging processing by centerless grinding machining of core pin with three-stepped diameters of φ250, 125 and 80μm, the accuracy of ±0.15μm exceeding the interim goal was achieved for submaicro-grained hardmetal with ±0.5μm.

    WC-Co alloys with WC grain sizes from 0.4 to 4.5 μm and the Co contents of 10 and 15 mass% were machined by focused ion beam (FIB) of 30 keV Ga+ and their surface roughness was investigated, where beam diameters are 100 nm and 300 nm, the beam overlap is 50 %, the pixel dwell times are 100 and 227μs and beam incident angles are from 0° to 50° degrees. Experimental results from the viewpoint of effect of microstructure showed that the surface roughness depended on width of Co phase. Moreover, it was revealed on the effect of machining conditions that small surface irregularities was obtained under the condition of larger beam diameter, shorter dwell time and higher beam incident angle in this work.

    Micro press dies coated with DLC that has excellent performance for wear and friction have been expected for press processes. However, improvement of the adhesion of DLC coating is especially to apply to strong plasticity processing. There is the weak point that the adhesion of DLC coating is low, because high compression stress remains in the DLC coating inside. Therefore, we examined possibility to improve the adhesion of DLC coating by optimization of the DLC coating condition. In addition, we suggested that we made micro size dimples on DLC coating surface and examined possibility to improve tribology characteristics by maintaining lubricant in the dimples.

    Simulation technology was developed for high precision molding of optical fiber connectors. Two simulation models regarding resign flow performance in the mold cavity were constructed and calculated. One is the calculation on resign flow performance around micro pins arrayed in the mold cavity. Prediction of the force to pins and their bending trend was made possible. Flow rate and cure extent of resign are affecting factors, and optimum flow rate is expected. Another is the calculation on resign flow performance including filler particles. Prediction of the particle distribution around micro pins was made possible. Larger particles are not tend to run behind micro pins, and non-uniform transcription properties is predicted.

    Bending and compressive fatigue characteristics of WC-Co alloys were mainly investigated and discussed relating to structural defects, surface residual stress or coercive force in the alloy. The bending fatigue was influenced by the structural defects such as pore, WC and Co pool acting as a fatigue fracture origin. Especially, the fracture origin of Co pool with a step shaped form peculiar to the bending fatigue was often observed in HIP-treated alloys. Therefore, the fatigue life in micro-grain alloy was improved with the decrease of Co pool size. As to the effect of surface condition, the fatigue life was remarkably influenced by compressive residual stress of the ground surface rather than surface roughness, while the decrease of the fatigue life by coating treatment could be explained by residual stress of the coated layer and base alloy or adhesion between them. On the other hand, the compressive fatigue was not influenced by the structural defects, but it showed a positive correlation with the variation of the coercive force influenced by fatigue hardening in Co phase. Namely, the coercive force of the medium-grain alloy increased with increasing applied stress and repeated cycle, and it became much larger in the repeated compressive fatigue test than static compressive test.

    WC-βt-Co alloys have been widely applied to cutting tools because they are superior to WC-Co alloys in oxidation, plastic deformation and adhesion resistances. In this study, the effects of HIP treatment, WC grain size and content of βt phase on bending fatigue characteristics were investigated for fine and coarse-grained WC-6.7mass%βt-10.4mass%Co alloys (6.7βt(F) and 6.7βt(C) alloys) and fine-grained WC-20mass%βt-11.3mass%Co alloy (20βt(F) alloy) by comparing with the case of fine-grained WC-10mass%Co alloy(10Co(F) alloy) without βt phase.
    The results obtained were as follows: (1) The bending fatigue life of HIP-ed 6.7βt(F) alloy was longer than that of normally sintered 6.7βt(F) alloy. The S-N curve of HIP-ed alloy showed a small gradient in a high stress range and a large gradient in a low stress range. (2) The fatigue life of HIP-ed 6.7βt(F) alloy remarkably decreased in the high stress range, but slightly decreased in the low stress range, compared with that of 10Co(F) alloy. (3) The fatigue life of HIP-ed 6.7βt(C) alloy was superior in all the stress range, compared with that of HIP-ed 6.7βt(F) alloy. (4) The fatigue life of HIP-ed 20βt(F) alloy was shorter than that of 6.7βt(F) alloy in all the stress range. The above-mentioned results were mainly discussed relating to the fatigue fracture origins such as pore, Co pool, aggregate of βt grains, etc.

    To apply to plastic injection molding parts, the effects of Cr and Mo contents on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in a molten fluoropolymer were studied in two series of Mo2NiB2 base cermets with the composition of Ni-5.0mass%B-Xmass%Cr-51.0mass%Mo (X: 12.5∼20.0) and Ni-5.0mass%B-15.0mass%Cr-Ymass%Mo (Y: 46.6∼55.4 (Mo/B atomic ratio: 1.05∼1.25)).
    In Ni-5.0mass%B-Xmass%Cr-51.0mass%Mo cermets, transverse rupture strength (TRS) increased with increasing Cr content and showed a maximum value of 2.2GPa at 17.5mass%Cr, and then decreased at 20.0mass%Cr. Hardness increased monotonically with increasing Cr content and showed a maximum value of 86.5HRA at 20.0mass%Cr. In Ni-5.0mass%B-15.0mass%Cr-Ymass%Mo cermets, TRS increased with increasing Mo content and showed a maximum value of 2.3GPa at 53.2mass%Mo (Mo/B atomic ratio: 1.20), and then decreased at 55.4mass%Mo (Mo/B atomic ratio: 1.25). Hardness increased monotonically with increasing Mo content and showed a maximum value of 87.5HRA at 55.4mass%Mo. In both series of cermets, improvements of TRS and hardness were mainly attributed to refinement of tetragonal M3B2 (M: Mo, Ni, Cr) complex boride particles. Lowering of TRS seems to be due to embrittlement caused by aggregation of tetragonal M3B2 complex boride particles and precipitation of tetragonal M5B3 complex boride particles.
    The excellent corrosion resistance equivalent to Hastelloy C in a molten fluoropolymer was obtained in Ni-5.0mass%B-15.0∼17.5mass%Cr-51.0mass%Mo and Ni-5.0mass%B-15.0mass%Cr-48.8∼53.2mass%Mo (Mo/B atomic ratio: 1.10∼1.20) cermets.
