Abstract
Measurements have been made on the densities and on the chemical and phase compositions of cutting plates made of Silinit P and Silinit P1. The parameters are correlated with wear tests on the plates on cutting and frictional interaction with steel and cast iron. The spread in the densities of silicon nitride ceramic specimens is related to the presence of inclusions. The wear resistance of the cutting plates is dependent on the inclusion content. This provides a very simple method of nondestructive monitoring for large batches of tool specimens made of silicon nitride ceramic.
