摘要
The microstructure of a commercial polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tool material was studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and transmission electron microscopy with electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy filtered TEM. These results were compared with results from X-ray diffraction and thermodynamic calculations. It is shown that this PCBN material consists of cBN both as micro metre-sized and nanometre-sized grains. The micrometre-sized grains show primarily straight phase boundaries and little reaction with the surrounding matrix. The matrix consists of mainly TiCN, with grains ranging from nanometres to sub-micrometres. The C and N content in TiCN varies, indicating a system far from equilibrium. Only small reaction zones are found and the major reaction is the one between Al and O, forming Al(2)O(3). It is also shown that it is possible to prepare samples thin enough for TEM/EFTEM/EELS studies, enabling the study of minor reaction phases like TiB(2). (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
