Ceramic Cutting Tools: Materials, Development and Performance (Materials Science and Process Technology Series)

"Ceramic Cutting Tools. Materials, Development and Performance" by E. Dow Whitney and E. Dow Whitney (Auth.), published by Elsevier Science. Interest in ceramics as a high speed cutting tool material is based primarily on favorable material properties. As a class of materials, ceramics possess high melting points, excellent hardness and good wear resistance. Unlike most metals, hardness levels in ceramics generally remain high at elevated temperatures which means that cutting tip integrity is relatively unaffected at high cutting speeds. Ceramics are also chemically inert against most workmetals. Read more... Book details: 374 pages, published 1994. Order now on BookShops.in with fast, reliable delivery across India.
