Opis

This is the first readily available and practical book on ceramic cutting tools to appear in 28 years. The new classes of ceramic tool materials are covered, and how they perform from a materials engineering standpoint. New ground is also broken in the introduction of the latest material to be developed, chemically vapor deposited diamond tools. These new tools perform exceptionally well in the machining of aluminum, composites, and other non-ferrous metallic and non-metallic materials. This book also provides: An understanding of how different ceramic tools perform in machining operations based on their characteristics A basis for proper tool selection through field tests and case histories Emphasizes the important aspects of tool geometry, surface finish, and edge preparation on tool life. Each chapter is written by internationally recognized authorities in ceramic cutting tool materials development and application. Written as a practical book, it is more than just about the various classes of ceramic cutting tools and their applications. It is about manufacturing, and productivity. in their own volumes, but this one closes the huge technological gap in this area and forges a new path for others to follow. Contents Include: Ceramic Cutting Tools - Reflections on the Continual Process of Improvement Tool Life Selection of Cutting Tool Materials Aluminum Oxide/Titanium Carbide Composite Cutting Tools Cermet Cutting Tools Alumina-Silicon Carbide Whisker Composite Tools Phase Transformation Toughened Materials for Cutting Tool Applications Silicon Nitride Cutting Tools Aluminum Oxide Coatings for Cemented Carbide Cutting Tools Polycrystalline Diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride The New Diamond Technology and Its Application in Cutting Tools Machining Economics Summary and Prospectives on the Future of the Ceramic Tool in Manufacturing Operations
