Abstract:
A novel and improved cemented carbide composition, particularly for tools and other wear products, is provided comprising about 62% to 90% titanium carbide, about 0% to 10% nickel, 0% to about 25% other suitable carbides selected from the group of Mo. sub. 2 C, TaC, HfC, NbC, VC, WC and Cr. sub. 3 C. sub. 2, and about 10% to 38% stainless steel binder. The light weight composition provides an improvement in the combined properties of hardness, toughness, strippability, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
