Abstract

High-resolution measurements of mechanical properties of composites produced by powder metallurgy techniques are of immerse importance for reliable materials production. Measuring the intrinsic properties of each phase separately in multiphase composites gives the information on the spatial heterogeneity in local material properties and serves as a guide to process engineering and advanced materials design. In this study, the nanoindentation, X-ray analysis and microstructural SEM investigations have been used to obtain the properties and structural features of ceramic - metal composites involving chromium carbide based cermets of different binder composition. The mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity and hardness) of the ceramic grains and binder alloys were found to be different from those reported in literature.
