The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is
to be performed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention is related generally to Tungsten Carbide as tool insert material and
more particularly for performing turning operation of EN8 round bars at the 24 hours holding
time for cryogenic treatment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In a known cutting tool of this type (EP0263747 Al), a surface coated tungsten carbide base
sintered hard alloy material is used for inserts as cutting tool which exhibits an excellent
cutting performance by virtue of excellent wear resistance and toughness thereof, when used
not only in continuous cutting of steel but also in intermittent cutting of same. In a known
cutting tool of this type (EP0251264 Al), the invention relates to a diamond-coated tungsten
carbide-base sintered hard alloy material for inserts of cutting tools, which has greatly
improved bond strength or degree of bonding of the diamond coating layer to the matrix and
therefore is capable of exhibiting excellent cutting performance over a long period of time.
In another known cutting tool of this type (US4812370 A), A surface coated tungsten
carbide-base sintered hard alloy material for inserts of cutting tools having excellent wear
resistance and toughness comprising of a substrate having an internal portion consisting
essentially of 5-30 percent by weight of one composite metal carbo-nitride, as a compound
forming a hard dispersion phase, selected from the group consisting of (Ti,
W)CN, (Ti, Nb, W)CN, (Ti, Ta, W)CN, and (Ti, Nb, Ta, W)CN•, 4-10 percent co as a
component forming a binder phase, and the balance of WC as a component forming the hard
disperse phase and inevitable impurities; the substrate having a surface portion formed with a
Co-enriched layer being substantially free of the composite metal carbonitride; and also of a
hard surface layer coated over the surface of the substrate, comprising an innermost layer
consisting essentially- of TiC, the innermost layer containing one of a W component and W
and Co components diffused from the substrate; a diffusion _preventing layer formed by one
of a single layer of one compound selected from the group consisting of TiCN and TiN, or a

2
double layer of both of the components TiCN and TiN; an inner layer consisting essentially
of TiC, the diffusion preventing layer preventing diffusion of one of the W component and
the W and Co components into said inner layer; and an outer layer formed by one of a single
layer of one compound selected from the group consisting of TiCO, TiCNO, and A12 03 and
a double layer of two compounds selected from same. In another known cutting tool

SUMARY OF THE INVENTION

Material is cryogenically treated by liquid oxygen for a time period and the material furtherly
heated to a temperature for a time. From this treatment materials work life is improved.
Further study of work life of the material is studied.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING

The invention will be further understood of object, features and advantages of invention the
following detailed description as illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG .1 and FIG .2 is a cryogenic treatment of material.

FIG .1A is an orthographic and sectional views of cryogenic treatment present invention.

FIG .2A cryogenic Treating details of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSED EMBODIMENT

The present invention deals with the improvement of tool life (Tungsten Carbide). The tool is
treated in Liquid oxygen as the cryogenic treating medium. Material is treated for the range
of 10-40 hours and furtherly heat treated in the range of temperature of 200-250C for 1-2
hours range. Upon treatment material is subjected to various test. Hardness of the material is
checked from the result its confirmed that tool property is enhanced. Material work life is
checked by machining. Various parameters are considered for the testing of tool life.

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE AS TOOL INSERT MATERIAL WITH LOW TOOL WEAR

RATE AND HIGH MICRO HARDNESS FOR EN8 ROUND BARS

Material is cryogenic treated in liquid oxygen as the medium for the treatment. Material is
allowed to achieve the liquid oxygen Treating temperature and is treated to the range of 10-
40 hours. After the treatment material is loaded into the furnace which has the room
temperature and then heating followed to the range of 350-400 F. material is made to
machine the hard steel for performance evaluation to find the material life. Various
parameters are considered for the testing of materials. From the result we can obtain the
optimum treating hour and parameter. The material properties are improved significantly by
the treatment.
