Abstract
⺠Functionally gradient WC-Co hardmetals having a surface layer with a low Co content and high hardness were produced. ⺠The surface layer is characterised by high residual compressive stresses in both the carbide phase and binder. ⺠The presence of high residual compressive stresses results in an improved combination of hardness and fracture toughness.
