Abstract:
The effect of AlN addition amount (0,1%,2%,3%, mass fraction) on the hardness, bending strength and oxidation resistance of Ti(C,N)-based cermets was studied. The results show that the cermets with different addition amount of AlN were all mainly composed of Ti(C,N), Ni
3Al and nickel phases. With increasing the addition amount of AlN, the hardness of the cermet increased, and the bending strength increased first and then decreased, reaching the peak value with 2%AlN. The oxidation mass gain of the cermet with 2%AlN increased slowly compared with the without AlN, and the oxide film structure was relatively dense, indicating the better oxidation resistance.
