A relatively new generation of cermet materials, based on TiB{sub 2}-Ni, has been investigated. These borides currently are being examined for industrial applications with the aim of exploiting their excellent wear resistance. Optimization of the liquid-phase sintering process for a TiB{sub 2}-Ni composition was studied. The mechanical properties of cermet materials prepared using vacuum and pressure sintering techniques were determined. Criteria for optimal sintering conditions were established according to hardness, strength, and fracture toughness properties.
