TiC0.5N0.5-Based Cermets with Varied Amounts of Si3N4 Nanopowders Prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering

TiCN-based cermets with varied fractions of Si3N4 nanopowder (0–5 wt.%) were prepared by spark plasma sintering. The microstructural and mechanical properties of these cermets were investigated. In general, with increasing addition amount of Si3N4 nanopowder the relative density as well as mechanica...
