Amandla okuphoqelela e-carbide esimende iyipharamitha yesakhiwo ehlobene nokuzibuthe kobuchwepheshe.

Ihlobene nokuqukethwe kwe-cobalt esigabeni se-binder ku-alloy, kanye nesimo sokusanhlamvu nokuhlakazeka (ukuqina kwe-cobalt layer) ye-cobalt, kanye nokuhlanekezela kwe-lattice, ukucindezeleka kwangaphakathi kanye nokuba khona kokungcola kwe-cobalt.Ngokuvamile, amandla okuphoqelela wei-carbide enosimendekuncipha ngokwanda kwei-cobaltokuqukethwe;ukuhlakazeka okukhulu kwe-cobalt, kuyanda amandla okuphoqa.

Ngakho-ke, amandla okuphoqelela angasetshenziswa njengesilinganiso esingaqondile sobukhulu bezinhlamvu zekristalu ye-tungsten carbide.Ipharamitha;ukuphoqa futhi kuhlobene nokuqukethwe kwekhabhoni ku-alloy.Kuma-alloys wokubunjwa okufanayo, njengoba okuqukethwe kwekhabhoni kwanda, i-H izokwehla.Uma i-Hc iphansi kakhulu, i-carburization ingenzeka;lapho inani liphezulu ngokungavamile

Ukuntuleka kwekhabhoni noma ngisho nesigaba se-decarburization eta kungenzeka.Isilinganiso samandla okuphoqeleka e-carbide esimende sinokubaluleka kokuqondisa kwenqubo.Ukuhlobana phakathi kwamandla okuphoqelela i-Hc namanye amapharamitha angokomzimba njengokuqina, ukuminyana, uzibuthe we-cobalt, njll. kungabamba iqhaza ekulawuleni inqubo yokukhiqizai-carbide enosimende.Iqhaza eliphumelelayo lokuqapha.
