The cermet composites WC-20wt%Co/ZrO
2(3Y) with four different contents of ZrO
2(3Y) were prepared by normal vacuumsinter processing; the optical microscope and SEM were used to characterize their microstructures. The hardness, bending strength andimpact toughness of the specimens were determined. The experimental results show that ZrO
2(3Y) particles in WC-20wt%Co matrixare spherical particles in different sizes which are distributed uniformly in Co phases and WC phases, the bending strength and impacttoughness of the WC-20wt%Co cermet composites added ZrO
2(3Y) improve remarkably, but the hardness values have little change.
