The invention belongs to the technical field of
ceramic cutters, and discloses a
ceramic cutter with nano-composite gradient thermal barrier
layers and a preparation method thereof.The
ceramic cutter comprises a matrix layer and gradient thermal barrier
layers symmetrically attached to the two side faces of the matrix layer, in the matrix layer, Ti (C, N) serves as a matrix phase, Al2O3 and WC serve as reinforcing phases, and MgO serves as a
sintering aid; in the gradient thermal
barrier layer, Al2O3 is used as a matrix phase, (W, Ti) C and Ti (C, N) are used as reinforcing phases, nano ZrO2 is used as a
toughening phase and a heat
conductivity coefficient regulating phase, and Y2O3 and MgO are used as
sintering aids; moreover, in the gradient thermal
barrier layer, the contents of (W, Ti) C and nano ZrO2 are decreased progressively from the outside to the inside, the content of Ti (C, N) is increased progressively from the outside to the inside, and the heat
conductivity coefficient is increased progressively from the outside to the inside. The middle matrix layer Ti (C, N)
metal ceramic matrix material has a relatively
high heat conductivity coefficient, so that the heat accumulation effect of the rake face of the tool can be relieved by dissipating heat.
