The invention discloses a preparation method of a 
tungsten carbide embedment sample. The preparation method comprises the following steps of respectively weighing an appropriate amount of 
tungsten carbide powder and an appropriate amount of 
copper powder, and uniformly mixing the 
tungsten carbide powder and the 
copper powder; preparing a formation agent solution comprising 5-10wt% of water, 5-10wt% of 
polyethylene glycol and 80-90wt% of ethyl 
alcohol; adding the formation agent solution into a mixed material, and performing uniform stirring to obtain a formation material; performing 
compression molding on the formation material to obtain a press blank sample strip; performing anaerobic 
sintering on the press blank sample strip in a 
sintering furnace; and performing gold-phase 
sample preparation, sample 
grinding and 
polishing on the sintered sample strip to obtain the 
tungsten carbide embedment sample. According to the preparation method of the 
tungsten carbide embedment sample, the 
copper powder and the 
tungsten carbide powder are mixed and sintered, the tungsten carbide powder is shaped, thus, the 
cutting difficulty of tungsten carbide is reduced, and single-
crystal grain is favorably detected; copper is not fused with tungsten carbide during 
sintering, the performance reliability of the single-
crystal grain is ensured; and the tungsten carbide is embedded and fixed by cooledcopper, poly-
crystal grain is difficult to fall off during 
grinding and 
polishing, and effective proceeding of tungsten carbide detection operation is ensured.
