Abstract
Because of the wide variety of machining applications, there is a need for diverse
cutting tool materials. The development of tool materials establishes the content
flow of this videotape, beginning with high speed steel tools. Carbide, including
it's property variables, types, grades and coatings follows high speed steel;
and makes-up the largest portion of this video program. Afterwards, ceramic,
cermet, and superhard materials like cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline
diamond are each featured. Tool failure modes such as cratering, deformation
and notching are also examined.
