The European gunpowder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) presented an award of merit to the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technology and Sintered Materials (IKTS) in Dresden Germany, for the evolution of a hard, wear-resistant tungsten-carbide material used for tools and wear parts. With this recent fine-grain material, it is possible to adjust hardness values from 2100 to 2700 Vickers and also achieve cloyed density in sintering without the ne for expensive cubic-carbide additives to suppres grain bourgeoning To reach its objective, IKTS compacted, or extrud a holy ultrafine ...
