Checking the bounds of hard wear testing

摘要

In the fourth part of his coverage of the European Powder Metallurgy Association's EURO PM 2002 conference in Lausanne devoted to hard and diamond materials, Ken Brookes looks at contributions from the UK's National Physical Laboratory and the Vienna University of Technology…Britain's National Physical Laboratory, located at Teddington, near London, can always be relied upon to make sensible and useful contributions to the sum of knowledge of hardmetals. Their latest, on The effect of test parameters on the abrasion resistance of WC/Co hardmetals, presented by Mark Gee, was no exception.
