Mechanical characteristics of sintered hard alloys with carbide layers

Cutting tools made of hard alloys allow to improve the processing of parts for their cutting speed is 2-4 times higher than that of the tools made of high speed steel (HSS). In addition to this, a solid carbide tool can process hard materials that are difficult to process or not treatable at all by a HSS tool. The operational stability of carbide inserts is greatly influenced by mechanical properties changing during the deposition of carbide layers by CTP. This paper deals with the study of the mechanical properties of hard alloys with carbide layers
