Material properties of sintered (Ti,Mo)(C,N) [Me=Mo,W] carbonitrides

Abstract

For the development of tungsten substitute materials for cemented carbide (WC-Co), new titanium carbonitride (Ti(C,N)) base cermets are studied and developed to applied cutting tools and wear resistant tools. New carbonitride solid solution , (Ti,Me)(C,N) [Me: metal element] as hard material in cermets is needed to improve the properties of cermets. The material properties of (Ti,Me)(C,N) [Me=Mo,W] ceramics were investigated.
