“…Because of its outstanding physical properties, such as high hardness, high corrosion resistance and high thermodynamic stability, Ti(C, N) has been successfully used in cutting tools and wear-resistance materials when combined with metal binders, such as Ni, Co and Mo [2][3][4][5]. Furthermore, the addition of different ceramic phases (e.g., WC, Mo 2 C, TiN and TiC) into Ti(C, N) matrix could effectively improve the physical and mechanical properties of cermets to meet the requirement of the cutting task [3,[6][7][8].…”
