WC-Co cemented carbides, commonly known as hardmetals, are composite materials constituted by hard ceramic particles embedded in a ductile metal matrix. Due to their unique microstructural assemblage, these materials exhibit excellent combinations of hardness, strength, and toughness, consolidating....
