Course detail

Advanced Materials for Cutting Tools

FSI-9PMRAcad. year: 2013/2014

The subject acquaints students with the cutting tool materials. It deals with high speed steels, cemented carbides (without/with hard and wear resistant coatings), cermets, cutting ceramics and super hard tool materials (polycrystalline diamond and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) from the viewpoint of their classification, marking, properties, production and use. The subject describes the newest tool materials of the top home and foreign cutting tools producers.
