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