Abstract
The University Carlos III has developed a new metal matrix composite (MMC) constituted by a dispersion of ceramic particles of TiCN in a steel matrix. The matrix can be hardened by heat treatment, leading to a material with high hardness and toughness, and lower ceramic content and density than the commercial cutting materials. For the further development it is necessary the collaboration with manufacturers of forming and cutting tools, as well as end users of those materials.
