The influences of powder extrusion molding (PEM), die pressing and cold isostatic pressing (CIP) on the green compacts and the sintered compacts of nanocrystalline WC-6Co composite powder produced by spray pyrogenation-continuous reduction and carburization technology were researched. The results showed that the pore volume distribution, density and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) morphologies of fractured surface of powder extrusion molding or die pressing followed by the cold isostatic pressing consolidation green compacts were better than that of powder extrusion molding or die pressing. The green compacts were sintered by using vacuum sintering plus hot isostatic pressing (HIP), the sintered specimens were characterized by testing density, Rockwell A hardness, saturated magnetization, coercivity force, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images, the results showed that sintered specimen of the green body that prepared by powder extrusion molding or die pressing followed by cold isostatic pressing had excellent properties of high strength and high hardness, transverse rupture strength of sintered specimen was more than 3100 MPa, Rockwell A hardness of sintered body was more than 93. Ultrafine WC-6Co cemented carbide rods with excellent mechanical properties and fine microstructure were obtained.
