Full Description

THE METALCUTTING INDUSTRY IS EXPERIENCING A TRANSFORMATION IN MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY DUE TO THE DEMAND FOR SOPHISTICATED COMPONENTS IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT. THE SHIFT IN MANUFACTURING HAS IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR HIGH-SPEED CUTTING TOOL MATERIALS TO COMPLEMENT OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES SUCH AS NEAR-NET SHAPE PARTS, HIGH SPINDLE SPEED, AND RIGID WORKHOLDING. A TECHNICAL EXPLANATION OF ALUMINA COATING DEVELOPMENT AND COATINGS IS PRESENTED, SUBSTANTIATED WITH LABORATORY AND FIELD DATA. THIS PAPER SUMMARIZES THE APPLICATIONS OF ALUMINA COATED CARBIDES IN THE METALWORKING INDUSTRY AND DISCUSSES THEIR STRATEGIC AND ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES.
