Development and Characterisation of Cemented Carbides for Percussion Drilling

01.09.2020 - 31.08.2023
Assigned research project

Cemented carbides for percussion drilling of rock, stone and concrete should be developed and investigated for the purpose of application in mining and construction. Therefore, novel combinations of WC with binders will be investigated and modelled. The cemented carbide bodies will be characterised for their solid-state properties and the sintering will be investigated thermo-analytically. Prototypes of promising candidates of cemented carbide bodies will be sintered and application tested.
