Jy. Dai et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF TIB2-TI(CN)-NI CERAMICS BY TRANSMISSION AND ANALYTICAL ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY, Materials letters, 16(6), 1993, pp. 317-321
The microstructure of TiB2-Ti (CN)-Ni ceramics has been investigated b
y means of transmission and analytical electron microscopy. In many ca
ses, TiB2 and Ti(CN) grew together with a unique orientation relations
hip. However, Ti(CN) particles were also found to precipitate in TiB2
crystals, and a different orientation relationship between precipitate
d Ti (CN) particles and TiB2 crystals can be detected. The TiB2/Ti(CN)
interface was investigated using high-resolution electron microscopy.
During hot-press procession, two Ni-rich intergranular phases with N3
1Si12 and N16Ti6Si7 type structures and amorphous phase were formed on
grain boundaries.
