ABSTRACT:
A ceramic cutting tool formed of a TiC-based sintered body contains 40 wt % or more of TiC, and 5 to 40 wt % of SiC whisker uniformly dispersed in the sintered body. The SiC whisker has a diameter of 0.2-1.5 .mu.m and a length of 1-20 .mu.m. The sintered body may contain up to 40 wt % of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and further sintering aids. Up to 40% by weight of the TiC may be substituted with at least one of Ti, nitrides, oxides and borides of Ti, and solid-solutions of these nitrides, oxides and borides of Ti to form a TiC-base composition. The TiC base composition may be represented by the formula (Ti.sub.a M.sub.b) (C.sub.c N.sub.d O.sub.e B.sub.f).sub.g, in which M denotes at least one transition metal element of Groups IVa, Va and VIa according to the International Periodic Table, except Ti; and a+b=1, 0<b.ltoreq.0.5, c+d+e+f=1; 0.5 c.ltoreq.1.0; 0.ltoreq.d.ltoreq.0.5; 0.ltoreq.e.ltoreq.0.3; 0.ltoreq.f.ltoreq.0.5; and 0.6.ltoreq.g.ltoreq.1.1.
