Summary
-
1.
A study was made into the effect of heat treatment on the bending strength of WC-Co alloys and the composition of their cementing phase.
-
2.
The composition of the cementing phase is practically independent of the rate of cooling in the temperature range investigated.
-
3.
It is shown that, when examining the effect of composition on the strength of WC-Co alloys, it is also necessary to allow for changes in thermal stresses.
