TEM study of a hot-pressed Al2O3-NbC composite material

TEM study of a hot-pressed Al2O3-NbC composite material

Alumina-based composites have been developed in order to improve the mechanical properties of the monolithic matrix and to replace the WC-Co material for cutting tool applications. Al2O3 reinforced with refractory carbides improves hardness, fracture toughness and wear resistance to values suitable...
