Abstract

The effects of mullite particles on the mechanical strength and chemical durability of vitrified CBN composites were investigated. Incorporating mullite particles to vitrified CBN composites contributes to an obvious improvement of the mechanical strength and the chemical durability of vitrified bond. The enhancement of the mechanical strength may be ascribed to the observed mechanisms including crack deflection and crack pinning. The improvement of chemical durability may be ascribed to the resistance of mullite particles to the dissolution of binders.
