Abstract

Abstract: In this work more than 2500 published experimental data on hardness and indentation fracture toughness of cemented carbides during the last 40 years have been collected. The significant number of samples displays the influence of microstructure, chemical composition, and processing on the hardness - toughness relationship of cemented carbides. Selected two-dimensional plots are presented and discussed as an example of visualization of the available experimental information. This collected record can serve as an initial reference set for the cemented carbide community using all available shared knowledge organized in one well-structured database.
