Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Motaung, DEDate:Apr 2013Broadening and height reduction of X-ray diffraction peaks were observed after cold-pressing of unmilled Co-W pow- der mixture. It seems the effect of cold pressing has slightly reduced the lattice parameter of W from 3.165 to 3.143 Å. ...Read more
Author:Konadu, DS; Van der Merwe, J; Potgieter, JH; Potgieter-Vermaak, S; Machio, Christopher NDate:Sep 2010The effect of increasing vanadium carbide (VC) content on the corrosion behaviour of tungsten carbide – 10 wt% cobalt hard metals was investigated in 1 M hydrochloric (HCl), and sulphuric (H2SO4) acids solutions. Increasing VC content makes ...Read more

Author:Bolokang, S; Banganayi, C; Pasha, MDate:2009In the current study, the amount of carbon and the effects of milling parameters in production of tungsten-carbide (WC) powder were evaluated. Mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental W and C powders at different carbon-rich and carbon-deficient ...Read more
Author:Pretorius, CJDate:Jul 2011The study evaluated five size-selective samplers used in the South African mining industry to determine how their performance affects the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) response when respirable dust samples are analysed for quartz using ...Read more
Author:Bolokang, AS; Phasha, MJ; Camagu, ST; Motaung, DE; Bhero, SDate:Mar 2012Stabilization of the metastable FCC phase has been achieved after 10 h milled Co powder sintering at 1400 °C. Phase identification of the Co powders was performed by the X-ray diffraction analysis, while the microstructural analyses were ...Read more
