Influence of Pressurized Sintering on Performance of TiC-Based Cermets

Abstract:

This paper discusses the effect of advanced sintering technologies – sinter + hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and sinter/HIP on the performance of TiC-based cermets. The performance was evaluated by strength (transverse rupture strength), adhesive wear resistance and durability. Adhesive wear was performed by a turning method (turning of mild steel at low speed) while durability was evaluated by functional testing – wear of tools during blanking of sheet metal. It was found that sinter/HIP ensures a higher positive effect than sinter + HIP in different cycles.
