Abstract

The formation of superhard ceramic-matrix composites of the BL group in the cBN–TiC–ZrN–Me (Me = Co, Hf, W) systems was investigated. The materials were synthesized by HPHT sintering (p = 7.7 GPa, T = 1800 and 2300°C) of mixtures with a composition of (vol %) 60 : 15 : 15 : 10. Before sintering, the TiC–ZrN–Me component was subjected to mechanochemical activation in a planetary mill. Under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, reaction interactions between TiC, ZrN, and Me lead to the formation of multicomponent solid solutions (Ti,Zr,Me)(C,N) with an NaCl-type structure, the composition of which corresponds to that of the initial filler mixture. The resulting ceramics exhibit a homogeneous grain microstructure with well-defined interphase boundaries, a hardness HV50 of 33–35 GPa, and a high Young’s modulus of 620–670 GPa. Cutting inserts produced from these materials are suitable for machining hardened steels.
