Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ceramic composition and a cutting tool.
- a ceramic composition mainly composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) has relatively excellent mechanical properties, reaction resistance, and heat resistance, and thus is used for tools, structural members, structural parts, and the like.
- the alumina-tungsten carbide ceramic composition is a ceramic composition in which tungsten carbide (WC) is added to alumina, and has excellent mechanical properties and heat resistance. Therefore, the alumina-tungsten carbide ceramic composition is also used for cutting tools and molds (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
- the alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia-based ceramic composition is a ceramic composition obtained by further adding zirconia (ZrO 2 ) to alumina and tungsten carbide, and has more excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, the alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia ceramic composition can also be used for cutting tools for heat-resistant alloys that require higher impact resistance and heat resistance (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
- the whisker-based ceramic composition is a ceramic composition obtained by adding silicon carbide whisker to alumina.
- the whisker-based ceramic composition has a problem that silicon carbide whisker as a raw material is relatively expensive and a problem that care is required in order to avoid health damage due to silicon carbide whisker forming a needle-like crystal.
- the alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia-based ceramic composition can realize mechanical properties and durability equivalent to those of the whisker-based ceramic composition, and is more excellent in cost and health damage than the whisker-based ceramic composition.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can be realized as the following modes.
- a ceramic composition mainly composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), tungsten carbide (WC), and zirconia (ZrO 2 ).
- a first crystal grain boundary which is an interface between alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) crystal particles and tungsten carbide (WC) crystal particles and two alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) crystal particles are provided.
- Zirconium (Zr) is distributed in the second crystal grain boundary which is an adjacent interface. According to this embodiment, the bonding force between crystal grains at each crystal grain boundary can be improved by zirconium (Zr) distributed in the first crystal grain boundary and the second crystal grain boundary.
- alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia ceramic composition can be improved, and as a result, the durability thereof can be improved.
- “Mainly composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), tungsten carbide (WC), and zirconia (ZrO 2 )” means containing inevitable impurities in addition to alumina, tungsten carbide, and zirconia.
- the “inevitable impurities” are at least one of iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni) inevitably mixed in the manufacturing process, and the amount thereof is fixed in tungsten carbide. It is a quantity (for example, 0.1 mass% or less) of the grade which does not melt and reduce bending strength, hardness, and thermal conductivity.
- At least one of the alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) crystal particles and the zirconia (ZrO 2 ) crystal particles is not adjacent to other tungsten carbide (WC) crystal particles.
- the relationship between the cross-sectional area A of the surrounded tungsten carbide (WC) crystal particles and the cross-sectional area B of the tungsten carbide (WC) crystal particles adjacent to the other tungsten carbide (WC) crystal particles is 1.5 ⁇ A / (A + B) ⁇ 100 ⁇ 50.0 may be satisfied.
- the strengthening of the crystal particles due to the compressive residual stress generated in the tungsten carbide crystal particles surrounded by alumina or zirconia having a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion, and the heat conduction path in which the tungsten carbide crystal particles are connected to each other It is possible to achieve both the improvement of the thermal conductivity due to. Therefore, the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia ceramic composition can be improved, and as a result, the durability can be further improved.
- tungsten carbide (WC) accounted for 50.0 vol% 20.0 vol%
- zirconia (ZrO 2) is 18.0% by volume or less than 0.1 vol%
- alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) may occupy the balance.
- the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia ceramic composition can be improved, and as a result, the durability can be further improved.
- the present invention can be realized in various forms other than the ceramic composition.
- it can be realized in the form of a cutting tool made of the above ceramic composition, a mold made of the above ceramic composition, a manufacturing method for producing the above ceramic composition, and the like.

- a ceramic composition according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an alumina-tungsten carbide-zirconia mainly composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), tungsten carbide (WC), and zirconia (ZrO 2 ). This is a ceramic ceramic composition.
