3. Results and Discussion 3.1. Phase Analysis of TiCN-Based CermetsThe XRD analysis was carried out to confirm the crystallographic structures of the TiCN-based cermets, as shown in Figure 2. The hard phase (Ti,M)(C,N) can be observed in all specimens, where M represents W or/and Mo in the molecular formula (Ti,M)(C,N). The binder-phase Ni–Co–M peaks, which are slightly adrift from the pattern of Ni and Co, indicate the existence of Ti, Mo or W dissolved in the binder phase.
