Abstract

Binders are important components in (Ti,M)C-based cermets and affect the sintering behavior. In this study, the effect of binder content ranging from 8  wt.% to 20 wt.% on the sintering behavior, microstructure evolution, mechanical properties, and fracture morphology of (Ti,M)C-based cermets were investigated. The results indicate that the change of binder content affected the dissolution–precipitation process in the liquid-state sintering stage. When the binder content was increased from 8 wt.% to 15 wt.%, the change of core grains and rim thickness was small. The percentage of dimples increased in fracture morphology, leading to an increase in transverse rupture strength and fracture toughness. However, with the binder content further increased, more carbides dissolved in the binder and thicker surrounding rims formed, causing the mechanical properties to decrease.
