Abstract
Titanium carbonitride cermets were fabricated by conventional powder metallurgy techniques, producing a microstructure characterised by very fine grains, exhibiting a core–rim structure, bonded with a metallic phase. Transmission electron microscopy was used to characterise the crystalline structure and orientation relationship of the ceramic and metallic phases. The results show that the core and rim phases have the same crystalline structure and orientation relationship, as well as similar lattice parameters. Specific orientation relationships were observed at ceramic/metal and ceramic/ceramic interfaces.
