Development of new carbides cutting tools with HEA binders
The presented project consists of proposing new binders use for the manufacturing of machining tools, designed to work on especially hard material conceived mostly for the air and space fields. It is desired to replace the cobalt, which is currently used as the binder, by High Entropy alloys. This will allow to decrease cobalt consumption in one hand and develop tougher materials which will enhance the life-time of the used tools. The development of these material will be achieved to determine most appropriate alloy composition as well as the most effective manufacturing process. The desired end of the project is to have coupons for trials on industrial site for comparison with regular commercial tools.
