    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Cu addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of PM Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys produced using hot-pressing method. Copper powder was added to iron powder at 5 wt.%, 10 wt.% and 15 wt.% rates. Production of Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys was carried out under pressure of 35 MPa, at 750, 800 and 850 degrees C, and for a sintering time of 4 minutes. Microstructure phase composition, relative density, hardness, and transverse rupture strength of the alloys were investigated. Phase composition and microstructure of the alloys were characterised by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS) techniques. The transverse rupture strength (TRS) of the samples was assessed by means of a three-point bending test. Hardness of Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys changed between 57 HB and 110 FIB depending on the amount of Cu and sintering temperature. Results show that the TRS of the alloys decreased together with the increase in the amount of copper, while it increased with increasing sintering temperature.

    The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cBN content and sintering temperature on the transverse rupture strength (TRS) of cBN/diamond cutting tools produced by hot pressing. The segments containing different cBN content were manufactured under 35 MPa pressure at 600, 650 and 700 degrees C with a 3 minutes sintering time. The TRS of segments were determined using three-point bending test. Microstructure and phase composition of fracture surface of segments were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The obtained results show that the TRS of the segments with cBN were higher than that of the segments with diamond.
