Based on differences in chemical composition and structural components, common hard alloys can be categorized into steel-bonded hard alloys, tungsten-cobalt alloys, tungsten-titanium-tantalum-cobalt alloys, and Tungsten-Titanium-cobalt alloys, with their physicochemical properties and applications being largely similar. Tungsten-titanium-cobalt hard alloys, also known as YT-class hard alloys, are composed of tungsten carbide (WC), titanium carbide (TiC), and metallic cobalt (Co), with the English name cemented titanium tungsten carbide. Typically, the Co content in the alloy ranges from 4% to 10%, TiC from 5%…
