Effect of Ball-Milling Time on the Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Submicron Ti(C,N)-Based Cermets

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, titanium carbonitride (Ti(C,N)) based cermets were prepared by submicron particles, sintered in a vacuum and hot-pressing furnace. And the effect of different ball-milling time (36 h, 48 h, 60 h and 72 h, respectively, mostly aimed for mixing) on the mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets, including transverse rupture strength (TRS), Vickers hardness (HV20), fracture toughness (KIC) and microstructure were investigated. The results showed that the TRS, hardness and fracture toughness were all improved with an increase in ball-milling time (not more than 60 h). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations on the microstructure of cermets with different ball-milling time revealed that the compound powders were not very well-distributed as a whole and there were coarse hard phase grains, but the microstructure was very homogeneous in parts, and the microstructure of cermets with a ball-milling time of 60 h is relatively more homogeneous. So a refinement to Ti(C,N) raw particles is needed in later studies.
