Tool for cutting solid materials

Abstract

A tool for cutting solid materials including a carrier material ( 2 ), and at least one abrasive body ( 1 ) embedded in the carrier material, with the carrier material includes a binder selected from a group Mn+1AXn, where M is an element selected from a group consisting of Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf and Ta, A is an element selected from a group consisting of Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Cd, In, Sn Tl and Pb, and X is an element selected from a Group consisting of C and N.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A tool for cutting solid materials, comprising a carrier material ( 2 ); and at least one abrasive body ( 1 ) embedded in the carrier material, 
 wherein the carrier material includes a binder selected from a group Mn+1AXn, where 
 M is an element selected from a group consisting of SC, Ti V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf and Ta;  
 A is an element selected from a group consisting of Al, Si, P, S, Ga, Ge, As, Cd, In, Sn, Tl and Pb; and  
   X is an element selected from a group consisting of C and N.    
     
     
         2 . A cutting tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier material is Ti 3  SiC 2 .  
     
     
         3 . A cutting tool according to  claim 1 , further comprising a rotationally symmetrical carrier body ( 3 ), wherein the carrier material ( 2 ) is at least partially applied to the carrier body.  
     
     
         4 . A cutting tool according to  claim 3 , wherein the carrier body is formed as a sleeve-shaped body.  
     
     
         5 . A cutting tool according to  claim 3 , wherein the carrier body is formed as a bolt-shaped body.  
     
     
         6 . A cutting tool according to  claim 3 , wherein the carrier body is formed as a disc-shaped body.  
     
     
         7 . A cutting tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one abrasive body is formed of a diamond.  
     
     
         8 . A cutting tool according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier material ( 2 ) contains the binder of the group Mn+1AXn from 50% by volume to 100% by volume.
