| ABSTRACT |
|
This study conducted an analysis of the carbothermal reduction of oxidized WC/Co hardmetal scrap with solid carbon under an argon and hydrogen gas atmosphere. The WC/Co hardmetal scrap oxide consisted of WO3 and CoWO4. WO3 was reduced before CoWO4 by the solid carbon regardless of gas atmosphere. The simple oxide WO3 transformed to a tungsten carbide phase without the formation of tungsten under the argon atmosphere. However, WO3 reduced to tungsten and then tungsten carbide was formed under the hydrogen atmosphere. Further, the complex oxide CoWO4 transformed to tungsten carbide and cobalt phases via a Co-W-C system complex carbide phase under the argon atmosphere. However, in contrast to the reaction under the argon atmosphere, under the hydrogen atmosphere an additional phase transformation route was observed, i.e., the formation of tungsten carbide and cobalt phases from CoWO4 through the formation of tungsten oxide and cobalt-tungsten alloy phases. The tungsten carbide formation under argon and hydrogen atmospheres occurred at about 950 ℃ and 850 ℃, respectively. |
