Abstract

Thermal shock resistance is one of the important properties for ceramic cutting tool materials in machining operation. Thermal shock resistance of a new SiC/Ti(C,N)/Al2O3 ceramic tool material is investigated in detail by means of the water quenching test. It indicates that the addition of Ti(C,N) and SiC is effective in the improvement of thermal shock resistance of the composite and the tested maximum temperature difference of thermal shock reaches about 330. Microstructures of the ceramic samples after thermal shock have been observed and analyzed by SEM focusing mainly on the morphologies of cracks and the peeling off of grains as well as the accompanied oxidation phenomenon at elevated temperatures.
