Abstract

Abstract A TiCN-based cermet cutting insert superior in toughness with improved wear resistance includes a binding phase and at least two hard dispersion phases. One of the hard dispersion phases includes one of a duplex and triplex structure having a core structure containing at least one of titanium carbonitride and a carbonitride solid solution of Ti and one of a V, Cr, Ti, Nb, Zr, W and Mo (hereinafter referred to as a (Ti,M)CN. The other hard dispersion phase includes a single structure wherein the core structure is composed of at least one of (Ti,M)CN or (Ti,M)CN and TiCN.
