Nano titanium nitride ceramic tool successfully developed

The National Science and Technology Key Project, hosted by the School of Materials Science and Technology of Hefei University of Technology, “Nano TiN, AlN modified TiC-based cermet tool manufacturing technology” has passed the appraisal of relevant national departments, marking the new ceramic knives developed in China using nano materials. Formally born.
It is reported that the nano TiN (titanium nitride) modified TiC-based cermet material developed by the research project adopts a method of introducing TiN nano-fine particles into TiC cermet. The grain refinement is beneficial to improve the strength, hardness and fracture toughness of the material, which is of great significance for the development of new tools.
The nano TiN modified TiC-based cermet cutter has excellent mechanical properties and features high technical content and high added value. It has been proved by practical use that it can replace cemented carbide tools such as YC8 and YT15 in the field of cutting, and the service life can be more than doubled.
