| Summary: | This study presented the effect of pressure on the density, porosity and
flexural strength when cold isostatic press (CIP) was applied to compact the ceramic
powders in the form of insert cutting tools. Specific composition of alumina (Al2O3)
wt.90%,yittria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) wt.10%, chromium oxide(Cr2O3) wt.0.6% and
polyethylene glycol (PEG) wt.0.6% were ball milled and hand pressed to form green
body of ceramic inserts. These green body were undergone further compaction inside
CIP with pressures variation of 200 MPa, 300 MPa, 400 MPa with 30 seconds and 60
seconds pressuring time. The ceramic composts were then sintered at 1440°C for 9 hours
before being assessed with density, porosity, Rockwell hardness (HRC) and bending
test. The results show that CIP use with 300 MPa parameters with 60 seconds shows the
best mechanical properties with relative density 95.5%, porosity 4.5% and HRC 65.5
hardness. Further assessment of microstructure revealed that the particles size distributed
evenly along fracture surface with coarse grain and porosity dominant in the certain area. |
