Abstract

It is well known that WC-Co cemented carbides have excellent wear resistance. However, information about their fatigue crack growth behavior and fatigue properties is limited. In the present study, rotating bending fatigue tests were carried out on a fine grained WC-Co cemented carbide to evaluate its fatigue lifetime and crack growth behavior. From observations of the micro-notched specimen surface during the fatigue process, it was revealed that most of the fatigue lifetime of the tested WC-Co cemented carbide is comprised of crack growth cycles. Using the basic equation of fracture mechanics, the relation between the rate of fatigue crack growth da/dN and the maximum stress intensity factor Kmax of the WC-Co cemented carbide was derived. From this relation, both the threshold intensity factor Kth and the fatigue fracture toughness Kfc of the material were determined. Fatigue lifetime of the WC-Co cemented carbide was estimated based on the fatigue crack growth law.
