Popis: The economic, environmental and healthcare aspects are pushing cemented carbide industry to reduce or even avoid the usage of conventional binder metals – nickel and cobalt. Commonly, austenitic Fe-Ni alloys have been preferred choice for substituting Co. Similar to Ni, manganese acts as austenite stabilizer and studies have shown that Fe-Mn alloys offer alternative binder metal to Co and Ni in cemented tungsten carbides. In addition, Fe-Mn as a binder potentially offers improved wear resistance due to the well-known wear properties of Fe-Mn-C steels. Addition of chromium to the binder composition increases corrosion performance of composite. Cemented carbides bonded with austenitic FeCrNi binder have demonstrated promising performance. In present work the possibility of achieving austenitic binder phase through substitution of nickel by manganese as an austenite stabilizer is investigated. Structure formation, phase composition and mechanical performance of WC-FeMn and WC-FeCrMn cemented carbides are discussed.
