Microstructure and mechanical properties of TiB2–TiC–WC composite ceramic tool materials
Highlights ►Effect of sintering parameters on TiB2–TiC–WC composites has been investigated. ► Ni element was dispersed in the interface between WC and matrix grains. ► The fracture mode changed from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture. ► The microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were improved.
Abstract TiB2–TiC–WC composites with Ni as a sintering aid were fabricated by a hot-press technique at 1700°C and 1650°C for 1h, respectively. The microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The composites were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The matrix phases consisted of TiB2 and TiC. No severe chemical reactions happened between the additive and matrix. The microstructure consisted of the fine WC grains and uniform matrix grains. When the proper WC content added to TiB2–TiC composites, the growth of matrix grains was inhibited and the mechanical properties of the composites were improved. The interface energy was strengthened by Ni that dispersed in the interfaces among WC grains and matrix grains, which made the fracture mode change from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture. The transgranular fracture and the pulling out of WC grains played a predominant role in the propagating of cracks when WC content was 20wt.% in TiB2–TiC–WC composites. The optimal mechanical properties of TiB2–TiC–20wt.%WC composite were 955.71MPa of flexural strength, 7.5MPam1/2 of fracture toughness and 23.5GPa of Vickers hardness.
