In this study, Cu-TiC composites were successfully produced using hot
pressing method. Cu-TiC powder mixtures were hot-pressed for 4 min at 600,
700 and 800?C under an applied pressure of 50 MPa. Phase composition and
microstructure of the composites hot pressed at different temperatures were
characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and optic
microscope techniques. Microstructure studies revealed that TiC particles
were distributed uniformly in the Cu matrix. With the increasing sintering
temperature, hardness of composites changed between 64.5 HV0.1 and 85.2
HV0.1. The highest electrical conductivity for Cu-10 wt.% TiC composites was
obtained for the sintering temperature of 800?C, with approximately 68.1%
IACS.
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cBN content and sintering temperature on the transverse rupture strength (TRS) of cBN/diamond cutting tools produced by hot pressing. The segments containing different cBN content were manufactured under 35 MPa pressure at 600, 650 and 700°C with a 3 minutes sintering time. The TRS of segments were determined using three-point bending test. Microstructure and phase composition of fracture surface of segments were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The obtained results show that the TRS of the segments with cBN were higher than that of the segments with diamond
