Effects of TiN Content on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of ATN Materials

Abstract:

In order to investigate the effects of TiN content on Al₂O₃/TiN ceramic material (ATN), the ATN ceramic materials were prepared of TiN content in 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% in the condition of hot press sintering. The sintering temperature is 1700°C, the sintering press is 32MPa, and the holding time are 5min, 10min, 15min. The effects of TiN content on mechanical properties and microstructure of ATN ceramic materials were investigated by analyzing the bending strength, hardness, fracture toughness. The results show that ATN50 has the best mechanical property, its bending strength is 659.41MPa, vickers hardness is 13.79GPa, fracture toughness is 7.06MPa·m^1/2. It is indicated that the TiN content has important effect on microstructure and mechanical properties of ATN ceramic materials.
