A cemented carbide comprising 55-90 parts by mass of WC particles and 10-45 parts by mass of a Fe-based binder phase; the binder phase having a composition comprising 0.5-10% by mass of Ni, 0.2-2% by mass of C, 0.5-5% by mass of Cr, 0.2-2.0% by mass of Si, and 0.1-5% by mass of W, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, and containing 0.05-2.0% by area of Fe&#x2014;Si&#x2014;O-based particles.

Cemented carbide and composite cemented carbide roll for rolling

A composite cemented carbide roll comprising an inner layer made of an iron-based alloy, and an outer layer made of cemented carbide which is metallurgically bonded to an outer peripheral surface of the inner layer; the cemented carbide of the outer layer comprising 55-90 parts by mass of WC particles and 10-45 parts by mass of an Fe-based binder phase having a particular composition; a shaft member and a shaft end member being metallurgically bonded to at least one axial end of the inner layer; the inner layer being made of an iron-based alloy containing 2.0% or more in total by mass of at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni and Mo; and the shaft member and the shaft end member being made of an iron-based alloy containing 1.5% or less in total by mass of at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr, Ni and Mo.

Composite cemented carbide roll, and production method of composite cemented carbide roll

A composite cemented carbide roll comprising an inner layer made of steel, and intermediate and outer layers made of cemented carbide containing WC particles; the cemented carbide forming the outer layer comprising 55-90 parts by mass of WC particles, and 10-45 parts by mass of a binder phase having a particular composition comprising Fe as a main component; the cemented carbide forming the intermediate layer comprising 30-65 parts by mass of WC particles, and 35-70 parts by mass of a binder phase having a particular composition comprising Fe as a main component; and the amount c1 (parts by mass) of WC particles in the outer layer and the amount c2 (parts by mass) of WC particles in the intermediate layer meeting 0.45&#x2264;c2/c1&#x2264;0.85.

Composite cemented carbide roll

A cemented carbide comprising 55-90 parts by mass of WC particles, and 10-45 parts by mass of an Fe-based binder phase, the binder phase having a composition comprising 2.5-10% by mass of Ni, 0.2-1.2% by mass of C, 0.5-5% by mass of Cr, 0.2-2.0% by mass of Si, 0.1-3% by mass of W, 0-5% by mass of Co, and 0-1% by mass of Mn, the balance being substantially Fe and inevitable impurities, and the cemented carbide being substantially free from composite carbides having major axes of 5 &#x3bc;m or more. This cemented carbide is produced by cooling at a cooling rate of 60&#xb0; C./hour or more between 900&#xb0; C. and 600&#xb0; C., after vacuum sintering.

Cemented carbide and its production method, and rolling roll

A centrifugally cast composite roll for hot rolling comprising an outer layer having a composition comprising by mass 0.8-3.5% of C, 0.1-2.5% of Si, 0.1-2.5% of Mn, 1.2-15% of Cr, 1-5% of Ni, and 1-10% of Mo+0.5&#xd7;W, the balance being substantially Fe and inevitable impurities, and an inner layer made of an iron-based alloy and integrally fused to the outer layer; the outer layer having Shore hardness of 67-82 at the initial diameter of the composite roll; and the maximum Shore hardness of the outer layer in a range 30 mm or more deep from the initial diameter being higher by 1 or more than the Shore hardness of the outer layer at the initial diameter.
