Tungsten Carbide
Fig : Methods of
attaching inserts to
toolholders : (a)
Clamping and (b)
Wing lockpins. (c)
Examples of inserts
attached to
toolholders with
threadless lockpins,
which are secured
with side screws.
Edge Strength
Fig : Relative edge
strength and
tendency for chipping
and breaking of
inserts with various
shapes. Strength
refers to the cutting
edge shown by the
included angles.
Unique Properties :
¾ Lower Friction
Techniques used :
Chemical –vapor deposition (CVD)
Plasma assisted CVD
Physical-vapor deposition(PVD)
Medium –temperature chemical- vapor
deposition(MTCVD)
Properties for Group of Materials
High hardness
Chemical stability
Low thermal conductivity
Good bonding
Little or no Porosity
Ion Implementation :
Ions placed into the surface of cutting tool
No change in the dimensions of tool
Nitrogen-ion Implanted carbide tools used for alloy steels & stainless
steels
Xeon – ion implantation of tools as under development
Alumina-Based ceramics:
Cold-Pressed Into insert shapes under high pressure and
sintered at high temperature
High Abrasion resistance and hot hardness (1200°C)
Chemically stable than high speed steels & carbides
So less tendency to adhere to metals
Good surface finish obtained in cutting cast iron and steels
Negative rake-angle preferred to avoid chipping due to poor
tensile strength
