SiC nanopowders were surface modified by low temperature plasma polymerization. 5vol% SiC-Al2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by adding the surface modified SiC nanopowders into the matrix of Al2O3.The influence of surface modified SiC nanopowders on the properties and structure of SiCAl2O3 nanocomposite was studied. The surface modified SiC-Al2O3 nanocomposite had higher density and nicer mechanical properties than untreated SiC- Al2O3 nanocomposite because of the improvement of dispersion. The hardness and toughness of the SiC- Al2O3 nanocomposite were higher than monolithic Al2O3 but the ultimate bending strength was not perfect because of retardation of the densification and formation of unsintered pores caused by the induced oxygen during the process of powder treatment.

The dry progressive stamping was strongly required to make mass production of clothing parts and beverage cans. The duplex coating was one of the most reliable means to protect the dies and punches from wear and friction and to prolong their life time. In this coating, the die and punch was first surface-treated to have sufficient hardness in compatible to the hard ceramic coatings. In the present study, the low temperature plasma nitriding at 673 K was employed to harden the six kinds of punches and dies for progressive stamping of copper alloyed fucks. The micro-structure and nitrogen mapping were investigated by SEM with EDS to demonstrate that the hardening took place by nitrogen super saturation into SKD11 matrix without nitride precipitations. These nitrogen super-saturated punches and dies were fix into the progressive die set for dry stamping. No significant wear of tools as well as reduction of stamping loads even after a million shots proved that the low temperature plasma nitriding should be suitable to make hardening of dry stamping die substrates even without use of hard ceramic coatings.
