Some engineering materials have excellent performances, but the machining of these materials is a problem. It is very inadequate to meet machining requirement only using traditional cutting tool materials. Therefore, exploring the machinability of difficult-to-machine materials and applying appropriate cutting tool materials have drawn much attention in metal cutting industry for guarantied product quality and productivity. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) has been recognized as one of the most suitable cutting tool materials due to its high hardness, high wear resistance, high chemical inertness, and excellent chemical stability in high temperature. Research on various aspects of CBN cutting performances has been conducted in recent years. This paper presents the progress on machining difficult-to-machine materials using CBN cutting tools.

A coated carbide cutting tool with its high hardness and high wear resistance, good chemical stability and extensive compatibility characteristics, is widely applied in the metal cutting processing field. It is one of the cutting tools, belonging to the current focus research and development project of all countries in the world. The author mainly studies the cutting force contrast between coated carbide cutting tools and not coated ones. At the same time study them on the rake face friction coefficient contrast and the chip deformation coefficient contrast so as to explain the reasons for coated cutting tool cutting force decrease. The research indicates that, in machining course, applying physical vapor deposition coated technology (PVD) of carbide cutting tools cutting force change with feeds, cutting depth and speed is the same as not coated carbide cutting tools. But coated carbide cutting tools cutting force is obviously less than that of not coated carbide cutting tools. The main reason is that the friction coefficient between the two kinds of cutting tool materials and the workpiece is different. The result of study will help popularization and application of coated carbide cutting tools.

The kinds and the properties of composite materials and superhard cutting-tool materials are introduced in this paper. By using five kinds of superhard cutting tools, such as polycrystal cubic boron nitride (PCBN), polycrystal diamond (PCD), thin film and thick film of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond and carbon nitride (CxNy), two kinds of composite materials (fiber reinforced and particle reinforced) have been turned. Many experiment data have been gotten. It is shown that the superhard cutting tool is the best for machining composite materials. Moreover, surface finish and cutting force in composite material machining are discussed.

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

Abstract Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have excellent properties such as high hardness, low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, chemical inertness and so on. Because DLC film is considered as an effective coating material to improve their surface properties, this films are used in various applications such as parts for automobiles engines, hard disk surfaces, cutting tools and dies, and so on. DLC films consist of a mixture of sp2 bonded carbon atoms and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. Among them, ta-C film is known as the hardest and strongest film since it mainly consists of sp3 bonded carbon atoms. One of deposition methods to form ta-C is Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA). The characteristic of this method is that it is possible to remove the droplets and form a high-quality film.. However, even though lots of mechanical components which require ta-C coating have three-dimensionally shapes, it is difficult to coat ta-C film three dimensionally by using FCVA process. At present, researches on 3D deposition of amorphous carbon films on three dimensional components is still insufficient, and investigation reports on the deposition mechanism and characterization of the deposited films are even more limited. In this study, we tried to deposit films on 3D components by the FCVA method and evaluated the microstructure and surface morphologies of films. Although films were coated successfully in the entire surfaces, different properties were showed depending on the location of components. These properties were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and laser microscope.

This paper presents a range of variable machining factors which influence substantially friction directly or by the tool wear developed in the cutting zone. The group of direct factors include the workpiece and cutting tool materials coupled, the cutting/sliding velocity, cooling media supplied to the tool-chip contact zone, modification of the tool contact faces by micro-texturing. Special attention was paid to the tool wear evolution and its pronounced effect on changes of the contact conditions.

The development of manufacturing technology is mostly given by economics, environmental trends and the development of cutting materials and machine tools. Manufacturing is a significant part of the worldwide economy. Machining (material removal processes) represents major part of production costs. This paper yield inquiries into the hard and precise milling with a focus on force effects in experimental machining, tool wear and final surface qualities (roughness, micro hardness). The precision machining of hardened steel differs from conventional machining in terms of the hardness of the workpiece materials and the cutting tool materials that are required. Hard materials are characterized by high hardness (> 45 HRC) and abrasiveness. Machining processes require cutting tools of much higher hardness and also higher resistance of the abrasive wear. Recently developed cubic boron nitride (CBN) and coated sintered carbides cutting tools are considered to have the ability of cutting such as steel. CBN cutting tools show good performance during machining of the hardened steel because of their hot hardness and good fracture toughness.

The development status of self-lubricating tool materials was reviewed in the present study, as well as the five basic types of self-lubricating tool and the current situation of nanometer materials in ceramic cutting tool. Based on these, the design idea of the functional gradient materials and nano-micro composite materials was introduced into the self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool materials, in order to develop new self-lubricating ceramic cutting tool materials with both good mechanical and frictional properties.
