Development of near net shaped Si3N4/SiC composites with optimised grain boundary phase for industrial wood machining

The introduction of ceramics into the market of wood cutting tools has failed so far due to the generally low toughness of ceramics which is causing brittle failure of the cutting edge. A feasibility study showed that Si3N4/SiC composites with fine elongated β-Si3N4 grains are a promising material f...
