摘要:
A method for improving the toughness of the surface of a ceramic article, characterized in that the ceramic article is subjected to a plastic working wherein a dislocated structure is formed on the surface thereof, the structure being in a straight line form and covering uniformly over the whole of the ceramic article and having a dislocation density of 1 X 104 to 9 X 1013 cm-2, by the use of a jet material comprising fine particles having a convexly curved surface and having an average particle size of 0.1 μm to 200 μm and a Vickers hardness (HV) of 500 or more and of a hardness (HV) of the ceramic article + 50 or less; and a ceramic article which has a dislocated structure being in a straight line form and covering uniformly over the whole of the surface thereof and having a dislocation density of 1 X 104 to 9 X 1013 cm-2.
摘要:
A ceramic sintered material cutting tool, characterized in that it has a dislocation structure which formed on the surface thereof in a straight line form and distributed uniformly in a dislocation density of 1 x 10 to 9 x 10 cm . The cutting tool is improved in a fracture toughness value and the resistance to thermal shock and thus has a prolonged life. The above cutting tools include, in particular, a twist drill and a throw away tip.
