Hard turning offers many possible benefits over grinding such as lower equipment costs, shorter setup time, reduced process steps and better surface integrity. Despite the amount of research in this area, there exists no data in the intermittent hard turning. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of CBN tool materials and machinability to an intermittent hard turning. To this end, different CBN materials were tested to evaluate the tool wear and surface roughness in an intermittent hard turning. It is found that low-CBN-content tool is better than high-CBN-content tool. Then, we discussed a cutting force, vibration, and CBN tool wear mechanism from the hard turning.

In this study, unsintered and pre-sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability, optimum tool materials and optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1)In the case of dry cutting, the sintered diamond and natural diamond tools exhibit better performance in machining of the ceramic pre-sintered at lower temperature, and the tool lives of both tools in machining the ceramics pre-sintered at high temperature becomes extremely short. (2)The performance of CBN tool becomes better in dry machining of the ceramics pre-sintered at higher temperature. (3)When the pre-sintered ceramics were wet machined with sintered diamond, the tool life becomes considerably long, and higher cutting speed can be used than in the case of the CBN and ceramic tools, the tool lives becomes shorter at wet cutting than at dry cutting, especially exhibiting extremely short tool life in wet cutting with ceramic tool.

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.

The hard turning process defined as a single point turning of materials harder than $H_{R}$C 58 differs from conventional turning because of hardness of the work materials and cutting toos needed in the process. In hard turning, tool life is very short, of the order of a few minutes, during which the cutting tool is subjected to the extremes of stress and temperature. In this regard, it is well known that CBN tool is proper for this process in spite of expensive cost. In this research, we studied the feasibility of the use of the low cost cutting tool such as a aTiN coated tool. To this end, a new cooling system was designed with an air-oil method for reducing tool temperature, which is based on the principle of air vortex flow. That is, the outlet temperature of the air becomes aver 20 .deg. C lower than atmosphere temperature by entering pressurized air of 5kgf/c $m^{2}$ into the inlet. This cooled air ejected to the top of the cutting tool lowered tool temperature, which reduced the wear of a TiN coated tool by the 30% of CBN tool life with respect to the same cutting length.h.

The use of CBN tool material has been greatil increased because of the superior metal cutting performance for the machining of hardened steels. This paper presents some experimental results on the ball endmilling of hardened steels. Three different hardnesses of STB-11 workpieces were machined using CBN ball endmills, and the machining charteristics including cutting forces, tool wear, and surface roughness of machined surface were compared. It has been found that the CBN ball endmill works better in the machining of harder workpieces. The microscopic examination explains that this unusual phenomenon is cause by the difference of microstructure of each workpieces.

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.

Generally, the machinability of materials that have a good mechanical properties is poor. The material having a high strength, high toughness in high temperature and wear resistance, it is difficult to remove a chip from workpiece. STD11 and NAK80 are kinds of these materials and these materials can be used in many industrial fields. But it is limited in use because of high cost and poor machinability. In this experimental study, the cutting of STD11 and NAK80 were used to decide the machinability and the tool shape of CBN ball end mill. From the results, the CBN ball end mill is verified that the estimated cutting edge shape of rake angle 30 degree has consistent effect on the tool wear and cutting force.

The fracture characteristics and tool life of ceramics and WC, CBN cutting tool when turning heat treated steel STD11($H_RC$ 60) were investigated experimentally to clarify the machinability and optimum tool materials in cutting of difficult-to-cut material with high hardness. Forthermore, the behaviors of the tool wear and failure were examined with regard to cutting force. The hardened steel wore the cutting tool edge rapidily and increased the cutting forces, especially radial force. The tool was worn by the abrasive action. Flank Weat of $Al_2O_3-TiC$ ceramic and WC tool become relatively large and CBN & $Al_2O_3$, ceramic tool had a long life among the tool materials tested. The tool fracture patterns were just like minor cutting wear, flank wear, crater wear, notch wear, chipping. Flank wear rate was accelerated by occurrence of chipping. During the proceeding of machining, it was possible to foresee the catastrophic fracture of tool by abrupt increase of radial force.

An experimental investigation is reported on the wear mechanism of CBN cutting tools. The cutting experiments were conducted on a lathe equipped with a tool dynamometer for cutting force measurement. The investigation of wear mechanism was executed by observing the worn tools using tool microscope and scanning electron microscope. Results indicate that the flank wear occurs dominantly by abrasive wear mode and the crater wear by adhesive wear mode. The results also indicate that the width of flank wear is closely related with the passive component of cutting force.
