Al2O3–Mo cutting tools for machining hardened stainless steel

Al2O3–V cutting tools for machining hardened stainless steel

“…The oxidation process of metal phase was similar to that observed in alumina-vanadium cutting tool and was responsible for very high tool life of produced composites [14].…”

Friction behavior of alumina/molybdenum composites and formation of MoO3−x phase at 400°C

“…Amongst solid lubricants some refractory metals, such as molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) have the ability to withstand high thermo-mechanical loads. Furthermore oxides of these metals have high melting points necessary for the high temperature wear applications and some of them are also found to improve toughness [6,7], hardness [8] or friction properties of alumina [9].…”

Properties of Alumina Matrix Composites Reinforced with Nickel-coated Graphene

“…Only small amount of graphene (Gn) should improve simultaneously mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of ceramic matrix composites [3][4][5][6]. Such composites can be applied in many fields including bio-sensors, transparent conductors and cutting tools [7,8].…”
