Additive Manufacturing feasibility of WC-17Co cermet parts by Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Résumé

Cermets are composite materials consisting of a ceramic reinforcement and a metal matrix. Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. The present paper deals with the feasibility study of AM of cermet parts by L-PBF using WC-17Co powder. The results showed that parametric optimization of the L-PBF process allowed the production of solid WC-17Co part. Structural analysis revealed the presence of significant porosity (1.41%) and small-scale cracks in the as-built samples. Post-processing by HIP (Hot Isostatic Pressure) significantly improved the structure of manufactured parts. The porosity became very low (0.01%) and XRD phase analysis revealed the absence of the fragile W2C phase. Abrasive wear and hardness tests showed that performances of additively manufactured parts were comparable to a reference part produced by powder sintering. The study successfully demonstrated the possibility of manufacturing wear-resistant cermet parts by L-PBF.
