Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to refractory metal bonded carbide alloys for use as cutting tools and in other applications where high hardness and abrasion resistance are required. The desired fine-grain, lamellar microstructure is obtained preferably by casting eutectic, or near-eutectic composition alloys of a Group IVa metal (titanium, zirconium, hafnium), tungsten and carbon which may contain certain alloying and inert materials. For selected applications, the composites may be fabricated by powder-metallurgical techniques.
