Resumo:Nickel has been widely used as a substitute for cobalt in WC-Co hardmetal studies due to greater corrosion and oxidation resistance as well as mechanical properties and economic aspect. Currently, carbides and metals are added to hard metal in order to increase the sinterability of the material, and consequently their hardness and toughness. In this study, the effects of different amount of Ni and sintering parameters (sintering temperatures and holding time) on properties of sintered WC-Ni were studied. The sintered products were obtained via powder metallurgy processing steps, in which powders of tungsten carbide (WC) with 5 and 15 wt% Nickel (Ni) were milled in a planetary high energy ball milling for 8 hours. Then, the particulate powders were compacted into a cylindrical die with 5 mm in diameter under a uniaxial load of 300 MPa. Sintering of the green samples was carried out at 1350 and 1450ºC with holding time of 30 and 90 minutes, in resistance furnace and at 1350º C, with 30 and 90 minutes holding time in vacuum furnace. Starting (WC and Ni) and milled powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Sintered samples were also characterized by SEM, EDS and microhardness measurements. Hardness results were higher for WC-5 wt% Ni sintered in the resistance furnace at 1450 ° C with 30 and 90 minutes holding time (1078.6 and 1246.1 Hv respectively). WC-5wt% Ni Samples sintered in vacuum furnace at 1350 °C with 30 to 90 minutes holding time obtained a higher microhardness compared to ones sintered in the resistance furnace at 1350 °C with holding time of 30 and 90 minutes.
