Hot-wire Laser Additive Manufacturing Produces Defect-free WC–Co Cemented Carbide 

Researchers led by Keita Marumoto at Hiroshima University together with collaborators from Mitsubishi Materials Hardmetal Corporation, a manufacturer of cemented carbide tooling materials, investigated how laser irradiation strategies influence the microstructure and hardness of additively manufactured WC–Co cemented carbide. The results published in the International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials show that combining […]
