Abstract

Vanadium-tungsten carbide {(V, W) C} nanocrystalline powder has been synthesized by mechanical alloying for the purpose of producing WC-VC-Co alloys of very fine grain size. The starting powders were W, V and C. The V/W mass ratio was selected on the basis of the formula (V0.7,W0.3) C, which had been calculated to be the equilibrium formula of (V,W) C. Although milling was carried out in argon, some oxidization occurred leading to the presence of free carbon in the synthesized powder.
