In order to meet this demand, the market needs to provide more cutting tool materials with better cutting performance. Cemented carbide is composed of refractory metal carbides such as tungsten carbide, titanium carbide, molybdenum carbide and iron group metals such as iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. Compared with high-speed steel cutting tools, cemented carbide is dozens of times more durable, so it has become an ideal material for manufacturing cutting tools.

[0003] The Chinese patent (publication number CN118875287B) discloses an ultrafine cemented carbide tool with a high entropy alloy binder phase and its preparation method. The high entropy alloy powder is prepared by high temperature melting-vacuum gas atomization method. The high entropy alloy powder is used as a binder phase, and the optimized sintering process is used to promote the refinement of WC grains and the preferred orientation of the crystal plane during WC recrystallization during sintering, thereby improving the performance of cemented carbide. The invention has low production cost and is suitable for industrial mass production. However, when ultrafine cemented carbide tool materials are used in high temperature material processing in the prior art, there are still problems such as low Vickers hardness, low fracture toughness, and insufficient bending strength, which seriously affect its actual use.

[0022] (2) The graphene introduced into the modified tungsten carbide of the present invention has extremely high strength and rigidity. It can be effectively dispersed in the tungsten carbide matrix and enhance the overall hardness of the material by preventing crack propagation. At the same time, graphene can also transfer loads and disperse local stresses, delay material failure, and significantly increase the hardness of cemented carbide tool materials.

[0023] (3) The lanthanum introduced into the lanthanum-modified tungsten carbide of the present invention can form a protective film on the surface of tungsten carbide particles, which can indirectly improve the fracture toughness by changing the surface stress state. The boron nitride quantum dots can enhance the interfacial bonding force between particles, reduce the possibility of crack propagation, and thus improve the overall fracture toughness of the cemented carbide tool material.
