Microstructure and Properties of Ti(C,N)-Based Cermets

Abstract

The present review will try to sum up the research on the microstructure and properties of the Ti(C,N)-based cermets materials in recent years. Firstly, the development history, the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets, and the relationship between Ti(C,N)-based cermets microstructure and their properties were introduced respectively. Secondly, Compared with different microstructure and properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets material which were made by different composite constituent. Furthermore, the relationship between mechanical properties of Ti(C,N)-based cermets and sintering method was introduced. Results show that the high performance products can be produced by means of fast sintering techniques at low temperature successfully, such as spark plasma sintering technology. However, the most widely used way is vacuum sintering method. Lastly, the development trend of Ti(C,N)-based cermets were included.
