TY - JOUR A1 - Huang, S. G. A1 - Vleugels, J. A1 - Mohrbacher, H. A1 - Woydt, Mathias T1 - Effect of Ti(C0.7N0.3) content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ni bonded NbC-Ti(C0.7N0.3) based cermets T2 - Solid State Phenomena N2 - In the present work it was shown that the addition of VC or a combination of VC + Ti(C0.7N0.3) was efficient in reducing the NbC grain growth during liquid phase sintering, when compared to NbC-Ni equivalents. A finest NbC grain size of 1.48 µm was obtained in the NbC-15 Ti(C0.7N0.3)-10 Ni-7.5 VC cermet, exhibiting a hardness of 1486 +/- 7 kg/mm2 and a fracture toughness of 8.7 +/- 0.1 MPa m 1/2.
