The ultrafine WC-Co bulk materials were prepared by a new method that contains pretreatment of the milled powder mixture and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS). The ball milling parameters and the pretreatment temperature both have significant effects on the microstructure and properties of WC-Co cermets. The prepared cermets have the mean grain size less than 0.5um even with the pretreatment temperature as high as 1300oC. The WC-10wt.%Co cermet bulk prepared by the optimized milling, pretreatment, and SPS processing achieves the excellent mechanical properties with the hardness of 92.2HRA, the fracture toughness of 13.1 MPa.m1/2 and the transverse rapture strength of 3100MPa.
