UHTC composite for machining applications
Manager: dr inż Dawid Kozień
Possible forms of commercialization: spin-off company, sale, licence
The subject of the project is to improve the technological readiness capability of an innovative high-carbon composite obtained from boron carbide and an intermetallic compound from the Ti-Si system. The applied technology makes it possible to obtain a dense, sintered material containing covalent phases of TiB2, TiC, SiC, which can be used to manufacture prototype cutting tools.
The obtained composite makes it possible to reduce production costs by reducing the synthesis temperature from 2,000°C to 1,650°C and prolonging the working time of the cutting tool, due to its specific properties such as increased abrasion, corrosion resistance and heat resistance compared to currently used composites for cutting tools. The added value in implementing the project will be the receipt and commercialization of sales of new, tougher cutting tools that do not require coolant, which will enable us to adapt to the Industry 4.0 concept and reduce the cost of using cutting tools, as currently the biggest operating cost is the cost of coolant.
