The invention discloses a TiC
crystal whisker-reinforced
metal ceramic and a preparation method thereof, belongs to
metal ceramic and a preparation method thereof, and aims at improving bending strength and breaking tenacity of the existing Ti(C,N)-based
metal ceramic. The TiC
crystal whisker-reinforced metal ceramic disclosed by the invention is prepared from constituent material through ball-milling and mixing, TiC
crystal whisker dispersing,
drying and screening, die-forming,
degreasing and vacuum-
sintering, wherein a
sintering tissue comprises a hard phase and a binding phase; the hard phase comprises two ceramic phases, and the binding phase is Ni-Mo-W sosoloid. The constituent materials comprise the following materials in percentage by weight: not less than 23% and not greater than 55.2% of Ti(C, N)
powder, not less than 10% and not greater than 30% of TiC crystal whisker, not less than 6% and not greater than 10% of WC
powder, not less than 8% and not greater than 15% of Mo
powder, not less than 0.8% and not greater than 1.2% of C powder, not less than 20% and not greater than 32% of Ni powder. The TiC crystal whisker-reinforced metal ceramic prepared by the method disclosed by the invention has
hardness capable of reaching 87.6 HRA-91.8 HRA, bending strength not less than 1920 MPa and breaking tenacity not less than 14.2MPa.m / 2, which are greatly improved, and has good popularization and application prospect in dry type
cutting tools, hot-working dies, and the like.
