Mixed in volume %. Sintering is difficult when the metal boride exceeds 95 volume % or the aluminum oxide component exceeds 5 volume %, and conversely, when the metal boride exceeds 30 volume % or the aluminum oxide component exceeds 70 volume %. This is because the hardness of the obtained sintered body decreases and the properties of the metal boride cannot be exhibited. In addition, boron oxide is 2
If it exceeds 0% by volume, the properties of the sintered body will deteriorate.

0体積%以上になるように配合することが望ましい。Further, according to the present invention, the toughness of the sintered body can be further improved by replacing all or part of the aluminum oxide component with acicular particles. The acicular particles used include aluminum oxide whiskers and substances that generate alumina whiskers when heated during sintering, such as 9Al□0. - Aluminum borate whiskers having the chemical formula 2B202, etc. can be mentioned. These preferably have an average diameter (breadth axis) of 2 μm or less, particularly 0.2 to 0.7 μm, and an average aspect ratio expressed by major axis/breadth axis of 3 to 100, particularly preferably 10 to 30. used. These acicular particles have an aspect ratio of 1.5 or more in the sintered body, and the proportion of the particles is 5% by volume or more, especially 2% by volume.
It is desirable to mix it so that it is 0 volume% or more.
平均径を上記の範囲に限定したのは、2μm以下では焼
結時の粒成長が過大にならず、高い抗折強度を維持でき
るからであり、2μmより大きいと焼結時の結晶粒子の
粒成長が著しく、粒子径のコントロールが難しくなり、
強度が低下し靭性にばらつきが生じ、また切削工具とし
て用いた際に逃げ面の境界摩耗が大きくなる傾向にある
。The reason why the average diameter is limited to the above range is that if it is 2 μm or less, grain growth during sintering will not become excessive and high bending strength can be maintained. The growth is significant, making it difficult to control the particle size.
Strength decreases, toughness varies, and boundary wear on the flank surface tends to increase when used as a cutting tool.
一方、アスペクト比の平均が3より小さいと繊維強化の
効果が少なく靭性が低下し、lOOより大きいと原料の
取扱が難しく、均一に分散できないために靭性が低下す
る傾向にあるが、この場合は一部を粉砕しながら混合す
れば問題なく使用できる。On the other hand, if the average aspect ratio is smaller than 3, the effect of fiber reinforcement is small and the toughness decreases, and if it is larger than 100, it is difficult to handle the raw material and cannot be uniformly dispersed, so the toughness tends to decrease. You can use it without any problem if you mix it while crushing some of it.

さらに熱間静水圧焼成すればよい。As the firing method, a normal firing method, a hot press method, a hot isostatic pressure firing method, etc. are applied, and the firing method is a reducing atmosphere in which an inert gas such as Ar or He or carbon, etc. is present at a temperature of 1400 to 1900°C. In order to obtain a particularly high-density sintered body, sintering with a theoretical density ratio of 96% or more can be performed using the normal sintering method or the hot press method. Power your body,
Further, hot isostatic pressure firing may be performed.
上記の焼成によれば、金属硼化物および酸化アル案ニウ
ムの殆どはそのまま残存し焼結するが、一部金属硼化物
が分解し、系中の酸素と反応し、前記金属の酸化物や酸
化硼素等が生成される。According to the above calcination, most of the metal boride and aluminum oxide remain as they are and are sintered, but some of the metal boride decomposes and reacts with oxygen in the system, resulting in the formation of metal oxides and oxides. Boron etc. are generated.

積%以下にするのがよい。Boron oxide added to the raw material evaporates at temperatures above 1500°C along with boron oxide separated from other raw materials during the sintering process, but both act as sintering aids and help increase the density of the sintered body. promote. However, if a large amount of boron oxide is contained in the sintered body, it will reduce the hardness and strength of the sintered body, so the content is preferably 20% by volume or less, preferably 5% by volume or less.
