Tungsten ( T-series)
T-series - 12 % - 18 % tungsten,
chromium, vanadium & cobalt
undergoes less distortion during heat
treating
H.S.S. available in wrought ,cast &
sintered (Powder metallurgy)

preparation of
inserts to
improve edge
strength.
Chip breakers:
Purpose :
Eliminating long chips
Unique Properties :
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
Fig : Ranges of
properties for
various groups
of tool
materials.
Cutting tool Characteristics for coating :
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
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
