Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a sintered body containing W and WC, having excellent hardness, strength, compactness, and corrosion resistance, without containing W2C, and capable of being used for the purpose of a cutting tool or a glass molding die, or a seal ring. There is provided a sintered body containing 4 to 50 vol % of tungsten metal as binder phases, 50 to 95 vol % of tungsten carbide (WC), and 0.5 to 5.0 vol % of tungsten oxide (WO2), in which the tungsten oxide (WO2) has an average grain size of 5 nm to 150 nm and is present in a sintered body structure at an average density of 5 to 20 particles/μm2.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sintered body comprising: 4 to 50 vol % of tungsten metal as binder phase; 50 to 95 vol % of tungsten carbide (WC); and 0.5 to 5.0 vol % of tungsten oxide (WO 2 ), wherein the tungsten oxide (WO 2 ) has an average grain size of 5 nm to 150 nm and is present in a sintered body structure at an average density of 5 to 20 particles/μm 2 , and the tungsten oxide (WO 2 ) is dispersed in the sintered body structure. 2. The sintered body according to claim 1 , wherein the sintered body structure does not contain W 2 C. 3. The sintered body according to claim 1 , wherein a fracture toughness value of the sintered body is 6.7 MPa·m 1/2 or greater.
