Abstract
Abstract A composite sintered compact consisting of a sintered body portion, which contains at least one of high density boron nitride and diamond, and a cermet or metal portion bonded to the sintered body portion through an amorphous metal interposed between the sintered body portion and the cermet or metal portion at their bonding area, has high hardness and strength, and further has excellent handleability, heat resistance and toughness during the whole processes ranging from its production to its consumption.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A composite sintered compact consisting essentially of: a sintered body portion containing at least one material selected from the group consisting of high density boron nitride and diamond; a substrate portion containing at least one material selected from the group consisting of metal and cermet; and a crystallized metal portion interposed between said sintered body portion and said substrate portion; wherein said sintered body portion is bonded to said substrate portion through an amorphous metal layer during a sintering operation under a pressure of about 2.5-5.5 GPa, a temperature of about 1500°-1550° C. and a sintering time of about 15 minutes, whereupon said amorphous metal layer is converted into said crystallized metal portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A composite sintered compact consisting essentially of: a sintered body portion containing at least one material selected from the group consisting of high density boron nitride and diamond; a substrate portion containing at least one material selected from the group consisting of metal and cermet; and a crystallized metal portion interposed between said sintered body portion and said substrate portion; wherein said sintered body portion is bonded to said substrate portion through an amorphous metal layer during a sintering operation under a pressure of about 2.5-5.5 GPa, a temperature of about 1500°-1550° C. and a sintering time of about 15 minutes, whereupon said amorphous metal layer is converted into said crystallized metal portion.
