Evaluation of mechanical properties and processing conditions of WCCo alloys fabricated by magnetic pulsed compaction

► Mechanical properties and microstructures of WC were studied. ► Magnetic pulse compaction was used to consolidate the powders before sintering. ► A range of MPC pressures were used on both compositions. ► Crack length behavior with respect to MPC pressures were analyzed. ► Other mechanical properties with respect to MPC were also studied.
