摘要:
A ceramic die for cutting and shaping lead frames, in which at least a working section thereof is made of a specific ceramic material having an iron and cobalt content of less than 100 ppm in total. The ceramic die can be formed in a complex shape with a high precision and has a prolonged lifetime because of its superior mechanical properties, such as high wear resistance and high strength, and less probability of adhesion of foreign matter such as solder or the lead frame material thereto. Even if the solder or lead frame material is adhered onto the die, the adhered matter can be removed through a simple procedure in a shortened time. The die is further improved by depositing a hard carbon film onto the surface of the working section.
摘要:
A silicon nitride sintered body characterized by comprising crystal grains having a linear density of 60 to 120 per 50 .mu.m length as measured in an arbitrary two-dimensional section of the sintered body. The silicon nitride sintered body has a shock compressive elasticity limit (Hugoniot-elastic limit) of 15 GPa or more and is substantially composed of crystal phases of .alpha.-silicon nitride and .beta.'-sialon. The percentages of the .alpha.-silicon nitride and .beta.'-sialon are not more than 30% and not less than 70%, respectively. The silicon nitride sintered body is particularly excellent in mechanical strengths at room temperature as well as in productivity and cost efficiency and is useful for applications as the material of parts where a particularly high impact strength is required, such as a valve train mechanism for automobile parts.

C. so that the relative density reaches 98% or more. The sintered body has superior strength properties, especially at ordinary temperatures, and can be produced with a high productivity in a high yield at a low cost.
