摘要
Cermet cutting tools are widely used for semi-finishing and finishing work on steel and cast iron. However, their brittleness is still an unavoidable limitation for their utilizations. Zirconium was added to improve the fracture toughness of Ti(C, N) based cermets. The microstructure and the fracture surfaces of cermets were studied by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The experimental results reveal that Zr dissolved and formed solid solutions during the sintering process. The amount of grains with typical core/rim structure decreases and that of coreless grains increases with increasing Zr addition. Moreover, the fracture toughness is improved clearly due to the increased amount of the coreless grains, the spinodal decomposition in cermets, as well as the crack deflection and crack branching mechanisms. Additionally, hardness and relative density were also measured, respectively. (C) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
