Two-Phase Functionally Graded Tantalum Carbide

Invention SummaryHard materials resist wear, but are more prone to fracture. Tough materials resist fracture, but are more susceptible to wear. Generally, it is difficult to design a material that is both hard and tough. This invention seeks to balance these considerations by providing a two-phase material that exhibits both high hardness and high fracture...

Pressure-less Method for Binding Tantalum Carbides

Invention SummaryThis technology is a novel and low-cost method for binding tantalum carbides. This method is known as pressure-less sintering and only requires certain levels of heat to bond tantalum carbides. Most existing methods require both heat and pressure, necessitating more elaborate manufacturing processes. Currently, this method is used...
