- (1)
- The role of paraffin wax, PEG-2000 and PVA-1788 molding agents on Ti(C,N)-based cermets was explored. When the amount of PVA-1788 was added at 2 wt.%, the sintering result of the Ti(C,N)-based cermets was optimal.
- (2)
- The 20Ni-1450 °C sample had the best comprehensive mechanical properties: its bending strength was 2010 MPa, its hardness value was 15.01 GPa and its elastic modulus was 483.57 GPa.
