Abstract

In this chapter, attention will be given mainly to the production methods and investigation of particle size, microstructure and some properties of powders of tungsten carbide WC with a particle size from 20 to 200–300 nm, i.e. nanocrystalline and submicrocrystalline powders. Using an X-ray diffraction method for determining small particle size will be considered in detail also.
