Abstract

L'invention concerne un corps fritté en nitrure de bore cubique qui est équipé : de 20% en volume ou plus à 80% en volume ou moins de particules de nitrure de bore cubique ; et de 20% en volume ou plus à 80% en volume ou moins d'une phase liée. La phase liée contient au moins un élément choisi dans un groupe formé d'une part d'un composé constitué d'un titane, d'au moins une sorte d'élément choisi dans un groupe constitué d'un zirconium, d'un hafnium, des éléments du cinquième et du sixième groupe du tableau périodique, et d'un aluminium, et d'un azote et/ou d'un carbone, et d'autre part d'une solution solide dérivée de ce composé. Lorsque la phase liée est observée à l'aide d'un microscope électronique à transmission, le rapport de surface d'une région de couleur noire, est supérieur ou égal à 35% et inférieur ou égal à 98%, dans au moins un grain cristallin contenu dans la phase liée.
