Abstract
A new route for the synthesis of WC–Al2O3 composite free from unwanted W2C phase through mechano- chemical treatment of WO3–xAl–y(4 1.5x)C mixture has been investigated. It has been concluded that by substitution of 10 mol% of 2 mol Al (x = 1.8) with equivalent stoichiometric amount of C together with 20 mol% excess carbon addition (y = 1.2), i.e., using a WO3:1.8Al:1.56C initial mixture, W2C free WC– Al2O3 composite can be successfully obtained by about 6 h milling. Crystallite size and lattice strain of the WC–Al2O3 composite synthesized in the present study as well as those obtained by the previous successful routes have been reported. The results revealed that a powder whose synthesis route involves lower adiabatic temperature as well as longer milling time would have a smaller crystallite size and higher lattice strain. Furthermore, TEM observations showed that all synthesized powders contain the agglomerates which consist of nano-size particles.
