It was established that the main phases in the investigated alloys were the NaCl-type quaternary (Ti,V,W)C phase and a solid solution of Cr in Ni. Depending on the size of the WC particles used for the preparation, the metal binder could be described by the formula Ni<sub>0.75</sub>Cr<sub>0.25</sub> (for nano WC) or Ni<sub>0.5</sub>Cr<sub>0.5</sub> (for fine-sized WC). In alloys prepared with fine-sized WC, elementary Cr and traces of the Cr<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub> and Cr<sub>23</sub>C<sub>6</sub> were also found. With increasing content of nano-sized WC and sintering temperature the solubility of W in (Ti,V)C increased. No W<sub>2</sub>C phase was detected under the conditions of the investigation.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Physics and Chemistry of Solid State}, author={Pukas, S. and Zinko, L. and German, N. and Gladyshevskii, R. and Koval, I.
