<p>COATED SILICON NITRIDE CUTTING TOOLS : Cutting tools and cutting tool inserts having improved mechanical and chemical wear resistance under demanding conditions of machining speed, temperature, or workpiece hardness comprise a silicon nitride substrate body having at least one hard, adherent coating layer of a refractory material. The silicon nitride substrate body consists essentially of a first phase of silicon nitride and a refractory second phase comprising silicon nitride and an effective amount of a densification aid selected from the group consisting of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, yttrium oxide, hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, the lanthanide rare earth oxides, and mixtures thereof.</p> |
