Abstract: Synthesis of ultrafine WC-Co powders was investigated using WO3, Co3O4 and graphite powders as starting materials by high energy ball milling followed by reduction and carburization. The results show that particle sizes of powder mixtures milled 30 h are in the range of 70-100 nm. When the milled mixture is reduced in a flowing gas mixture of H2 and Ar at different temperatures ranging from 450 to 700 ℃ for 2 h, the reaction sequence of WO3 to W appears as WO3→WO2.9→WO2.72→WO2→W with the increase of temperature, and WO3 reduction completes at 700 ℃. Reduction reaction of Co3O4 to Co can be finished in 2 h at 450 ℃ and the reduced Co keeps reacting with W to transform into Co3W with the increase of reduction temperature and time. The final product of reduction reaction is composed of W, Co, Co3W and graphite. The reduced mixture is carburized in a flowing Ar in temperature range of 700-1 000 ℃, carburization reaction takes place following the routine W(Co3W)→Co6W6C→Co3W3C→W2C→WC, and the carburization reaction completes at 900 ℃ in 2 h. The size of the WC grain in the final WC-Co composite powders is in the range of 200-300 nm.
