Abstract

Features that accompany sintering of composite materials based on the systems Me^IV–VN - Cr and Me^IV–VN - Ni in argon, nitrogen, and a vacuum are studied. It is shown that in all cases argon is the most favorable sintering atmosphere. It is established that for all materials there is typically loss of nitrogen by nitrides that is localized in closed pores, volumetric interaction of nitride-forming metal with the metal binder, intermetallic compound formation, and a volumetric increase in binder material after sintering. Structure formation occurs under the action of two solid-phase grain growth mechanisms: coalescence and dissolution — precipitation at the refractory nitride — metal interface. Sintering process recommendations are given for composite materials based on these systems.
