Sandvik Coromant is a world leader within the cutting industry in which hard metals, i.e. tungsten carbide embedded in a cobalt-based binder, is the work horse for the last 100 years. There is an ongoing effort of the industry to move away from Cobalt-based alloys as binder material. Within the company, computational methods are a vital part within R&D ranging from first-principles and atomistic simulations to Finite Element Analysis and thermo-dynamical modeling as well as computation fluid dynamics and statistical modelling.
In this talk, some examples on how computer simulations are applied to support the efforts in developing new binder alloys are presented.
