Abstract
Ceramic materials intended for cutting and consisting of aluminum oxide with additives of hard carbides or nitrides, particularly titanium carbide, have up to now, because of their sintering inertia, in general been pressure sintered to obtain satisfactory properties. According to the present invention a ceramic alloy of excellent technological properties has been formed and comprises principally Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and hard nitrides or carbonitrides, such as TiN or Ti(C,N) in which the alloy contains from 2 to 95 v/o of an Al--O--N-compound, such as nitrogen stabilized aluminum oxide with cubic or nearly cubic structure.
