Nanostructured WC-Al₂O₃-Al composites was sintered using rapid high-frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS) and the mechanical properties such as hardness and fracture toughness with consolidation were investigated. The HFIHS method induced a very fast densification nearly at the level of theoretical density and successfully prohibited grain growth, resulting in nano-sized grains. The fracture toughness was improved due to the consolidation facilitated by adding Al to WC-Al₂O₃ matrix. The WC-Al₂O₃ composites added with 5 and 10 vol.% Al showed higher hardness and fracture toughness compared with that of WC-Al₂O₃.
采用快速高频感应加热烧结（HFIHS）烧结了纳米结构的 WC-Al₂O₃-Al 复合材料，并研究了其机械性能，如硬度和断裂韧性。HFIHS 法诱导了非常快的致密化，几乎达到理论密度，并成功地阻止了晶粒生长，形成了纳米晶粒。通过向 WC-Al₂O₃ 基体中添加 Al 来促进致密化，从而提高了断裂韧性。与 WC-Al₂O₃ 相比，添加了 5 和 10 体积%Al 的 WC-Al₂O₃ 复合材料表现出更高的硬度和断裂韧性。
