Close attention has been paid to Functional graded materials (FGMs) worldwide for their novel design ideas and outstanding properties. To verify the advantage of FGMS in the design of ceramic tool materials, Si3N4/(W, Ti)C nanocomposite ceramic tool materials with homogenous and graded structure were fabricated by hot pressing and sintering technology. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness of the sintered composites were tested and compared. The experimental results showed that the graded structure improved mechanical properties of the ceramic tool materials, especially the flexural strength and fracture toughness. The introduction of residual compressive stress in the surface layer contributes to the improvement of the properties .

TiB2-Ti(C, N)-(Ni, Mo) composite ceramic tool materials were fabricated by the hot-press sintering technology. The effects of the content of Ti(C, N) on the microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated by XRD and SEM observations. It is shown that the grain size of the composites is small, the fracture surface is irregularity, the grain boundaries of TiB2 and Ti(C, N) are connected tightly, and a new crystalline phase of MoNi is formed. A small amount of Ti(C, N) is decomposed into TiN, and the decomposition of Ti(C, N) is intensified as the content of Ti(C, N) is increased during the sintering process. The fracture pattern is the combination of the intergranular mode and transgranular mode. It is found that the flexural strength and fracture toughness of TiB2-Ti(C, N)-(Ni, Mo) composites increase consistently owning to the addition of Ti(C, N), the maximum resultant mechanical properties of TiB2-Ti(C, N)-(Ni, Mo) composites are 1019.53MPa for the flexural strength, 6.89MPa•m1/2 for the fracture toughness and 23.65GPa for Vickers hardness.

Ti (C,N)-TiB2-WC composite ceramic tool materials with sintering aids such as Ni and Mo were fabricated at a temperature of 1550 °C for 1h sintering duration time in vacuum by a hot-press technique. The microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. The composite ceramic tool materials were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The main phases were composed of Ti (C, N), TiB2, WC and MoC, which indicated that no severe chemical reactions occurred in the composite. The flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness of Ti (C,N)- 20 wt.%TiB2-WC ceramic material were 795.7 MPa, 6.4 MPa·m1/2 and 19.2 GPa respectively.
