Editorial Reviews

Because of the wide variety of machining applications, there is a need for diverse cutting tool materials. The development of tool materials establishes the content flow of this videotape, beginning with high speed steel tools. Carbide, including it's property variables, types, grades and coatings follows high speed steel; and makes-up the largest portion of this video program. Afterwards, ceramic, cermet, and superhard materials like cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond are each featured. Tool failure modes such as cratering, deformation and notching are also examined.
