Basic Requirements of Tool Material• Hardness: retaining hardness at
elevated temperatures• Toughness: to survive under
intermittent cutting operation• Wear resistance: attainment of
acceptable tool life before replacement• Thermal Conductivity, etc.

Ancient ToolsStone Use predominated over millions of years. Used to make hand axes, knives and arrow heads. limitation - inability to produce different shapes.
Copper and Bronze Use started as early as between 5000-6000 b.c. Copper used mostly for knives and chisel. Use of bronze started between 3000-3500 b.c. Bronze - axes and hatchets, knives, arrowheads, lance heads
and swords
Iron Use dates back to 1200 b.c. Early applications - swords, knives, chisels, axes, sickles and
arrow heads.

HIGH CARBON STEEL Carbon percentage -0.8 to 1.5% Oldest known tool material Low Hot Hardness Maximum Cutting Speed – 5-7 m/min Maximum Temperature Limit -250 ºC Suitable for Low Cutting Low Cost Used for taps, dies, hacksaw blades,
hand drills, wood working tools etc.

Self Hardening Steel
• No need of water quenching• Speed for steel 7-10 m/min• Self hardening because of Mn and Cr• Increased temp limit because of W

HIGH SPEED STEEL
Cutting speed up to 30 m/min Maximum Limiting Temperature (560-
650)ºC Less Costly Excellent toughness Widely used in industries as a solid Tool
like form tool, drill, milling cutters, endmill, reamers, Broach, Single point cutting tool etc.

Coated Carbides Coating of micro thin layer insets made of tungsten carbide Most commonly used coating materials are:
Titanium Nitride (TiN) Titanium Carbide (TiC) Titanium CarboNitiride (TiCN) Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) Zicronium Nitride (ZrN) Titanium Aluminium Nitride (TiAlN)
Methods of Coatings
Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)
Advantages:
High hot hardness Chemically stable High cutting speed -150 to 250 m/min High Tool life (2 to 3 times higher than carbide)

SUPER COATED CARBIDES
WC- Higher interior Hardness and toughness
Triple layer coating Inner layer –FCCN (Fibrous Crystalline
Carbon Titanium ) Balance between wear resistance and
fracture resistance Outer coating –Al2O3 (Fine Grain) outer most layer – Special laminated
Titanium Alloys Superior high temperature strength.

Alumina Tools (Ceramics)
High abrasive of wear Resistance
Less tendency to weld to metal
Very high compressive strength
Very high hot hardness High refractoriness – 1800 ºC High Cutting Speed -200 to
400 m/min Longer tool life Used for cutting steel and HSS Used for high speed

SIALON• Silicon Nitride based alloy with Aluminium
& Oxygen addition• Low Coefficient of thermal expansion• Increased resistance of thermal shocks &
thermal fatigue• Used with Negative rake• Speed for C.I. is 600 m/min• Speed for steel is 60m/min• Hot pressing and sintering of mixture of
Al2O3 and Si3N4 powder

CUBIC BORON NITRIDE Sanitized artificially made under high pressure and
high temperature. Stable up to 10000C temperature. Manufactures under ultra high pressure and high
temperature. Excellent in chemical and thermal stability. Hardness next to natural diamond.
Applications:
Permits high feeds and speeds. Available in large variety of shapes and sizes in
insert form. Use to turn bore, face, groove and mill difficult to
