Cost analysis of using hybrid microwave post-sintered silicon nitride inserts

Heat treatment is a process often used to improve product performance by increasing the strength of material or other desirable characteristics. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) tool insert is known for its attractive properties including high fracture toughness, strength and wear resistance at elevated t...
