Abstract

In this paper provides an overview of scientific and technical literature and developments in the field of tungsten-free hard alloys or cermet as promising materials of a new generation metalworking tools. Methods of obtaining sintered hard alloys, their structure and basic operational properties are considered The main directions of improving the properties of hard alloys are given. The results of experimental work on the production of cermet by high-speed quenching of the melt are presented. The obtained fast-quenched materials of the Fe–TiC–TiB2 system demonstrate physical and mechanical properties at the level of sintered hard alloys, but at the same time it contain 2–3 times less of the carbide phase.
