There has been a great interest for improving the machining of cast iron materials in the automotive and other industries. Comparative studies for tool used to machine grey cast iron (CI) and compacted graphite iron (CGI) on dry machining were also performed in order to find out why in this case the tool lifetime is not significantly higher. However the machining these materials while considering turning with the traditional high-speed steel and carbide cutting tools present any disadvantages. One of these disadvantages is that all the traditional machining processes involve the cooling fluid to remove the heat generated on workpiece due to friction during cutting. This paper present a new generation of ceramic cutting tool exhibiting improved properties and important advances in machining CI and CGI. The tool performance was analyzed in function of flank wear, temperature and roughness, while can be observed that main effects were found for tool wear, were abrasion to CI and inter-diffusion of constituting elements between tool and CGI, causing crater. However the difference in tool lifetime can be explained by the formation of a MnS layer on the tool surface in the case of grey CI. This layer is missing in the case of CGI.

A hard film coat can improve a tool's performance. In this study, the frictional properties of an uncoated tool and a coated tool with TiN were measured against that of SCM440 (42 CrMo 4) steel. The results showed there was no significant difference between the friction coefficient of the high-speed steel tool and the tool coated with TiN but the friction coefficient of uncoated tool was slightly lower than that of the steel. In the second part of the study, coats of TiN , TiC , CrN , and TiAlN were deposited on high-speed steel and the wear characteristics were determined with a pin-on-disk wear examination. The differences in the friction coefficients were attributed to the difference in the wear of the slipping material. There were large differences in the adhesion characteristics on the surface of the slipping material. The author suggest that these differences influence the characteristics of the cutting tool.

Abstract RED CUT COBALT steel is made by adding 5% cobalt to the conventional 18% tungsten -4% chromium-1% vanadium high-speed steel. Cobalt increases hot or red hardness and thus enables the tool to maintain a higher hardness at elevated temperatures. This steel is best adapted for hogging cuts or where the temperature of the cutting point of the tool in increased greatly. It is well adapted for tools to be used for reaming cast-iron engine cylinders, turning alloy steel or cast iron and cutting nonferrous alloys at high speeds. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and hardness as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, and machining.
