Advanced materials and composites

Advanced materials and composites is a research topic within Mechanical Engineering. Science Explorer counts 58k research works in it since 1950. 9.8% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the synthesis, sintering, and mechanical properties of cemented carbides, particularly tungsten carbide-based materials. It covers topics such as nanostructured materials, grain growth inhibition, spark plasma sintering, and the microstructure of cemented carbides. The research also delves into the application of these materials in hardmetal tools.
