Quantitative characterization of the microstructure and properties of nanocrystalline WC–Co bulk

Microstructure of the nanocrystalline WC–Co cermet bulk was quantitatively described by transmission electron microscopy based precession electron diffraction technology. It is discovered that the fraction of the Σ2 grain boundaries increases with the decrease of WC grain size. The effect of microstructure on mechanical properties depends on Co distribution, Σ2 boundaries fraction and WC grain contiguity.
