A comparative study of PVD coated cermet inserts for milling applications

Effect of WC and group IV carbides on the cutting performance of Ti(C,N) cermet tools

“…It has been reported that the high-temperature strength increased up to nearly 20% and hardness by 10% with 1-2 mol% of added ZrC or HfC. This might be the result of the reinforcement of the carbide skeleton or the retardation of the recovery of dislocation in the binder phase during elastic deformation [7]. Fig.…”

Effect of group IV elements on the cutting characteristics of Ti(C,N) cermet tools and reliability analysis

“…High-temperature strength does not increase when other carbides are added to the Ti(C,N)-WC-Ni system. It has been reported that hightemperature strength increases up to nearly 20% and hardness up to 10%, when 1 ∼ 2 mol% of ZrC or HfC is added and this might result from the reinforcement of the carbide skeleton or the retardation of the recovery of dislocation in binder phase during plastic deformation [7].
