In order to fulfil the requirements of the various performance profiles of ceramic cutting tools, six different SiC-based ceramics have been fabricated by hot-pressing (SiC--${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites) or by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing (monolithic SiC and SiC-TiC composites). Correlation between the annealing time and the corresponding microstructure and the mechanical properties of resulting ceramics have been investigated. The grain size of both ${Si}_3 {N}_4$and SiC in SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites increased with the annealing time. Monolithic SiC has the highest hardness, SiC-TiC composite the highest toughness, and the SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composite the highest strength among the ceramics investigated. The hardness of SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites was relatively independent of the grain size, but dependent on the sintered density. The cutting performance of the newly developed SiC-based ceramic cutting tools will be described in Part 2 of this paper.

In this study, ultrasonic vibration tool designed and made by using FEM analysis. And machining test was carried out in various machining conditions using ultrasonic vibration capable CNC machine. For work material, alumina ceramic ($Al_2O_3$) was used while for tool material diamond electroplated grinding wheel was used. To evaluate ultrasonic vibration effect, grinding test was performed with and without ultrasonic vibration in same machining condition. In ultrasonic mode, ultrasonic vibration of 20kHz was generated by HSK 63 ultrasonic actuator. The two grinding speeds, 1.67m/s and 3.35m/s, were applied. On the other hand, grinding forces were measured by KISTLER dynamometer.

The tool condition monitoring is one of the most important aspects to improve productivity and quality of workpiece. In this study, the wear of ceramic tool (A1$_{2}$0$_{3}$-TiC Series) cutting the hardened die material(SKD11) was investigated. Flank wear was more dominant than crater wear. Therefore the modeling of cutting force related to flank wear has been performed. The cutting force model was construct- ed by an assumption that the stress distribution on the tool face is affected by tool wear. The relationship between characteristics as cutting force and tool wear can be suggested by machining parameters depending on cutting conditions. Experiments were performed under the various cutting conditions to ensure the validity of force models. The theoretical predictions on the flank wear are approximately in good agreement with experimental results.

By using AIP(Arc Ion Plating) of a physical vapor deposition for the first time in Korea a ceramic tool whose surface is coated single layeredly with TiN is developed. In addition cutting resistance appearing in the process of finishing cut of hardened carbon tool steel STC3 is studied. The principal and radial components of cutting resistance in those cutting conditions appear to be the same or similar and the feed component is relatively small. The feed component is found to be in proportion to cutting width and the radial component in proportion to cutting thickness. Owing to coating the cutting resistance of a TiN coated ceramic tool increas-es compared with that of a general ceramic tool.

Ceramic, PCD and CBN tools are available for the difficult-to-cut-materials such as hardened carbon tool steel, stainless steel, Inconel 718 and etc.. Ceramic toolsare likely to be chipped and abruptly broken before the appearance of normal wear in turning. Ther2efore ceramic tools are suitable for continuous cut in turning not for intermittent in milling. In this study, TiN/TiCN multi-layer coated ceramic tools were found to restrain the chipping, breaking and early fracture and to increase the critical cutting speed owing to TiN/TiCN multi-layer coating in Arc Ion Plating of PVD method.

In this study, presintered and full sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the effect of cutting fluid in machinability. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. When the presintered ceramics were wet machined with sintered diamond tool, the tool wear becomes extremely large, and higher cutting speed can be used than in the case of full sintered ceramics. The productivity of wet cutting with the sintered diamond tool is much higher than that of dry cutting. In the case of the CBN and ceramic tools, the tool wear were smaller at wet cutting than at dry cutting, especially exhibiting considerably larger grooved tool wear in wet cutting with ceramic tool.

세라믹스는 우수한 기계적, 전기적, 화학적성질로 인하여 여러방면에서 점점 기대가 높아가 고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 그 이용 범위나, 응용이 늦은 것은 가공성에 문제가 있기 때문 이라 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 세라믹스의 가공법으로서는 주로 다이야몬드 지립을 이용한 연삭, 절단, 래핑등이 행하여지고 있지만 이러한 방법은 가공 능률이낮기 때문에 생산성에 많은 문제를 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다이야몬드공구와 산화물계 A1$_{2}$0$_{3}$를 피삭재로 하여 다양한 절삭조건과 공구의 형상을 변화시켜 선삭 실험을 통하여 절삭력의 크기, 칩의 형태, 공작물의 형상, 표면조도 및 공구마멸등 절삭의 특성을 검토 하였으며 절삭에 의한 파인세라믹 스의 가공 가능성을 확인하고자 한다.

TiC coating formed on $Si_3N_4-TiC$ composite ceramic by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has an improved microstructures, better thermal shock resistance and interfacial bonding than TiN coating does. TiN coating formed by CVD, however, has lower friction coefficients against steels and better chemical stability. The experimental results indicate that the coated insert is superior to the uncoated one in flank and crater wear resistance. And the multilayer coating shows an improved wear resistance than the monolayer coating.

Diamond films were synthesized using CH4-H2-Ar mixture gases by MWCVD, and cutting ability was tested after brazing them onto WC tools. Growth rates were in the range of 0.5~10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/hr depending on the deposition conditions, and diamond films with thickness of 100~300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were obtained. Diamond tools brazed by RF induction method showed an enhanced cutting ability in the cutting test of Si single crystal rod.

In this study, unsintered and presintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability and the optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as fellows. Machined with ceramic tool, the ceramics presintered at the temperature range of $1000\~1100^{\circ}C$ showed the best machinability due to the adhesion formed in weared surface within a certain cutting speed range. In the above combination and conditions, the ceramic tool showed the highest productivity through all experiments. The life of CBN tool was longer in machining of the ceramics presintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ than in the case of that presintered at $600^{\circ}C$, but the diamond tool showed adverse tendency. In machining of the ceramics presintered at $1000^{\circ}C$, the ceramic tool exhibits the longest tool life in high speed, the tool lives became extremely worse in the order of CBN tool and diamond tool. However, in the case of the ceramics presintered at $600^{\circ}C$, the diamond tool shows the longest tool life, the tool lives was much worse in the order of CBN tool and ceramic tool.
