Based on the microstructure results of Monte Carlo simulation, a three-dimensional grid model is built up, and imported into the finite element software with C++ language to analyze the mechanical properties of ceramic tool material. The stress field and residual stress of single-phase and multiphase ceramics have been analyzed by the computer simulation technology.

The single nano-scale and multi-phase nanocomposite ceramic materials including Al2O3/Al2O3n/SiCn and Al2O3/Ti(C0.7N0.3)n/SiCn are successfully fabricated. Their mechanical properties are better than those of the single-phase alumina material and conventional alumina matrix materials. The multi-scale and single-phase nanocomposite ceramic tool material Al2O3/SiCμ/SiCn is also successfully fabricated. Its flexural strength and fracture toughness is higher than those of single-scale materials Al2O3/SiCμ and Al2O3/SiCn. The multi-scale and multi-phase nanocomposite ceramic tool material Al2O3/TiCμ/TiNn is finally developed by incorporation and dispersion of micro-scale TiC particle and nano-scale TiN particle in alumina matrix, which can get higher flexural strength and fracture toughness than those of Al2O3/TiC ceramic tool material without nano-scale TiN particle. The coexistent function of nano-scale Al2O3 or Ti(C0.7N0.3), nano-scale SiC and TiN can reduce the sintering temperature and sintering duration time as well as the grain size, and improve the material densification and mechanical properties. The nano-scale SiC grains locating along the grain boundary and inside the micro-scale alumina can form the hybria intergranular-intragranular microstructure which can result in hybria intergranular-transgranular fracture and improve the mechanical properties of the ceramic material. Crack deflection, forking and bridging effects are the main cause for improving the fracture toughness of the materials including Al2O3/Ti(C0.7N0.3)n/SiCn and Al2O3/TiCμ/TiNn.

A new nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was prepared with vacuum hot pressing technique. The effect of nanoAl2O3 powders on the microstructure and mechanical properties of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material was investigated. With the increase of nanoAl2O3 content, the hardness and fracture toughness first up then down. When the nanoAl2O3 content is 4 vol.%, the flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness reaches 562 MPa, 8.46 MPa·m1/2 and 18.95 GPa, respectively. The microstructure and mechanical property of nanomicro composite self-lubricating ceramic tool material can be improved by the grain refinement strengthening of nanoAl2O3.

Ti(C, N) based ceramic tool materials in the Ti (C0.7N0.3)-(Ni-Co)-Cr3C2-VC system have been made by hot-pressing technology, their mechanical properties and fracture morphologies have been studied under three different fabrication conditions. The results show that the mechanical properties are significantly influenced by fabrication conditions, and the main fracture mode is intergranular fracture.

In this study, an Al2O3-based functionally graded ceramic tool material reinforced with TiCN micro-particles and nano-Al2O3 particles was fabricated by using hot-pressing technique. The experimental results showed that optimal mechanical properties were achieved for the composite with the addition of nano-Al2O3 particles increasing from 10vol.% in the surface to 20vol.% in the core, with the flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness being 1073MPa, 5.99MPa.m1/2 and 21.78GPa, respectively. The microstructure and phase composition of the composites were characterized with SEM, TEM and XRD. It is believed that addition of nano-Al2O3 increasing from the surface to the core, which developed an nano-particles-rich tougher core and a hard Al2O3/TiCN-rich surface, improved the integrated mechanical properties of micro-nano-composite graded ceramic material.
