Japanese researchers explore laser-based DED Additive Manufacturing to produce WC-Co cemented carbides with reduced waste and ...

Hiroshima University advances 3D printing of WC–Co using hot-wire laser irradiation to cut waste and cost while keeping extreme hardness.

The journey of tungsten carbide began with the discovery of tungsten by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1781. However, it took 150 years before tungsten carbide found its place in industry. The production of ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an ...
