Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a ceramic cutting tool including a blade body containing zirconium oxide as a primary component, the blade body containing particles containing any one of aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or silicon nitride as a primary component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A ceramic cutting tool comprising a blade body containing zirconium oxide as a primary component of the blade body, wherein the blade body contains particles containing any one of aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or silicon nitride as a primary component of the particles, and wherein the blade body includes a blade part, and a plurality of the particles are exposed on a top part of the blade part, and a width of the top part is not less than 1 μm and not greater than 10 μm. 2. The ceramic cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the particles contain aluminum oxide as the primary component of the particles. 3. The ceramic cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle size of the particles is not less than 10 nm and not greater than 400 nm. 4. The ceramic cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the blade body contains the particles in an amount of not less than 5 vol. % and less than 50 vol. %. 5. The ceramic cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the blade body further comprises markings on a surface thereof, and the markings have a lower light reflectance than other portions of the blade body.
