1.Introduction:

Cutting tool materials are materials that are used to make cutting tools which are used
in machining (drill bits, tool bits, milling cutters, etc.) but not other cutting tools like knives or punches.
Cutting tool materials must be harder than the material of the workpiece, even at high temperatures
during the process.
The following properties are required for cutting tool
[1]

 hardness, hot hardness and pressure resistance

 bending strength and toughness

 inner bonding strength

 wear resistance

o oxidation resistance

o small propensity for diffusion and adhesion

o abrasion resistance

o edge strength

There is no material that shows all of these properties at the same time. Very hard materials, have
lower toughness and break more easily. The following cutting tool materials are used:

 Tool steels. They are relatively cheap and tough. Their hardness is sufficient to machine other
steels.
o Carbon tool steels. They lose their hardness at 200 °C

o High speed steels. They lose their hardness at 600 °C, and are widely used in machining.
Due to their ability to retain hardness at higher temperature, higher cutting speeds are
possible.

 cemented carbides. Harder than tool steels, but less tough. Can be used up to 900 °C. There are
many sort of cemented carbides like ones made of tungsten carbide and cobalt or cermets.

 cutting ceramic. They are even harder than cemented carbides but have lower
toughness. Aluminium oxide and silicon nitride are used. The latter has higher toughness, but
can't be used for machining Steel, due to very high wear.
 "super hard materials":

o cubic boron nitride. It is nearly as hard as diamond.

 o diamond. The hardest known material, but can only be used up to 600 °C and can't be
used to machine steel.

2. Description:

For mechanical machining the quality of cutting-tool materials is one of the most significant issues that
need to be addressed. Enhancement of cutting tool performance may be achieved through the use of
modern composition ceramic cutting tools This may be enabled through surface treatment, and also hot
pressing and spark plasma sintering – the two main processes used for manufacturing such tools. In this
article the advantages and disadvantages of the technologies and processes involved are analyzed and
compared to identify the most appropriate methods for creating ceramic cutting-tools. In parallel the
latest improvements in ceramic cutting-tool materials are reviewed. The paper shows that the choice of
ceramic cutting tools is a quite complex process with a number of important factors to be taken into
account.

3. Advantages:
Cutting tool users can’t afford to ignore the constant changes and advancements that are being made in
the field of tool material technology. When a tool change is needed or anticipated, a performance
comparison should be made before selecting the tool for the job.

4. Application:

Commonly used workpiece material Ferrous and nonferrous metals are the most common workpiece
materials, and each metal has different properties and cutting tool compatibility. Non-metallic materials,
such as carbides, ceramics, plastics, and composites, may require machining processes.applications of
cutting tools are Permits high feeds and speeds. Available in large varity of shapes and sizes in insert
form. Use to turn bore, face, groove and mill difficult to machine materials.
