Abstract
Hard materials made of ceramics combined with metals are used for dies and cutting tools that support high precision processing technology in Japan. Hard materials, however, need a large amount of rare metals that are scarce as resources as component and hence developing new materials with less dependence on rare metals has been expected. We developed a new hard material with Fe-Al intermetallic compound as a binder. This material was synthesized by a process combining casting and powder metallurgy and exhibited high hardness and high strength simultaneously. This paper introduces an approach to “Type2 Basic Research” in order to apply the developed material to industrial use, and a method of efficient research and development through the collaboration of researchers of different specialized fields.
