The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in cutting characteristics of cermet, carbide and coated carbide tools in the similar application range via turning test of various conditions. The cermet and carbide tools in the range of ISO P10 grade were developed using optimum compositions with a view to obtaining a high toughness and hardness by PM process. First mechanical properties were characterized on these tools. Experimental results of wear behaviour and resistance to fracturing were presented and discussed in the turning of gray cast iron and alloy steels by cermet, carbide and coated carbide tools. The coated carbide tool shows similar cutting performance compared to the cermet, while the cermet has better combination of wear resistance and toughness of high speed (V=500m/min) cutting in comparison with carbide and coated carbide tools, and also shows a potentiality for cast iron cutting. Fe adhesive behaviour on the tools and surface roughness of workpieces were explained by chemical affinity between tools and workpieces.

The austenitic STS 304 stainless steel was turned to clarify the effects of tool geometry on the tool wear. The wear of TiN-TiCN-TiC-TiAlN coated tungsten carbide tool was the smallest, exhibiting larger wear in the order of Si-Al-O-N ceramic, TiN coated tungsten carbide, TiN-TiCN-TiN coated tungsten carbide, TiC-TiN cermet and M20 tungsten carbide tools at the same cutting conditions. The S-type tool of M20 with large approach angle showed the longest tool life of all tools used in this tests due to preventing the groove wear of the side cutting edge. The wear of the S-type tool with the rake angle of 15$^{\circ}$became smaller than with that of -5$^{\circ}$, but the tool with the nose radius of 0.8mm did not perform much better with increasing the rake angle.

The effect of tool geometry on the tool wear in turning the austenitic stainless steel, STS 304 was investigated. The wear of TiN-TiCN-TiC-TiAlN coated tungsten carbide tool was the smallest, showing larger wear in the order of Si-Al-O-N ceramic, TiN coated tungsten carbide, TiN- TiCN- TiN coated tungsten carbide, TiC-TiN cermet and M20 tungsten carbide tools at the same cutting conditions. The S-type tool of M20 with the larger side cutting edge angle showed the smallest tool wear in all tests due to preventing the groove wear of the side cutting edge. The wear of the S-type tool with the rake angle of $15^{\circ}$ became smaller than with that of $-5^{\circ}$, but the tool with the nose radius of 0.8mm did not perform much better with increasing the rake angle.

To satisfy the demand of higher cutting performance, mechanical properties with tungsten carbide (WC-Co) tool materials were investigated. Hardness and transverse rupture strength with WC grain size, Co content and density were measured. Compared to H, K, and S manufacture maker as tungsten carbide (WC-Co) tool materials were used for high-speed machining of end-milling operation. The three tungsten carbide (WC-Co) tool materials were evaluated by cutting of STD 11 cold-worked die steel (HRC25) under high-speed cutting condition. Also, tool life was obtained from measuring flank wear by CCD wear measuring system. Tool dynamometer was used to measure cutting force. The cutting force and tool wear are discussed along with tool material characteristics. Consequently, the end-mill of K, H manufacture maker showed higher wear-resistance due to its higher hardness, while the S maker endmill tool showed better performance for high metal removal.

In this paper, experimental studies of the regrinding of tungsten carbide (WC-Co) tools for high-speed machining were conducted. Regrinding and a subsequent evaluation test were carried out for a flat endmill tool with diameters of 10 mm and 3 mm using a CNC five-axis tool grinder and a CNC three-axis machining center. Tool wear on the two types of endmill tools increased as the cutting length increased, and the tool wear was not influenced by the regrinding state. In case of the micro endmill with a tool diameter of 3 mm, the effective regrinding time was determined for a flank wear threshold of 0.3 mm considering the tool life according to cutting length. The tool lives of the 10 mm and 3 mm endmill tools were increased by 80% and 72%, respectively. This conclusion proves the Feasibility of the recycling of tungsten carbide materials in the high-speed machining of high-hardened materials for industrial applications.

This paper reports on the finite elements analysis for die compaction process of cemented carbide tool parts. Experimental data were obtained under die compaction and triaxial compression with various loading conditions. The elastoplastic constitutive equations based on the yield function of Shima and Oyane were implemented into an explicit finite element program (ABAQUS/Explicit) and implicit finite element program (PMsolver/Compaction-3D) to simulate compaction response of cemented carbide powder during die compaction. For simulation of die compaction, the material parameters for Shima and Oyane model were obtained by uniaxial die compaction test. Explicit finite element results were compared with implicit results for cemented carbide powder.

This paper aimes to clarify the effects of tool geometry on the tool life in machining of STS 304. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. The lift of TiN coated cermet tool was the longest, exhibiting shorter life in the order of P2O, cermet, TiCN coated carbide and TiAIN coated carbide tools. S-type tool showed the best performance of all tools used in this tests due to preventing the boundary wear of the side cutting edge.

A Study was made on falnk wear in carbide tools in turning SUS304 steel. When an austenitic stainless steel (SUS304 steel) is cut with the tool, saw-toothed chip are produced. It is found that machining SUS304 steel would make a tool worn fast. For increasing productivity, tool wear has to be predicted and controlled. An amended cutting geometry consisting of a negative rake angle ($-6^{\circ}$ ) and a high clearance angle ($-17^{\circ}$ ) is proposed for decreasing carbide tool wear (flank) in the machining of SUS304 steel. The amended cutting geometry is found to make the flank wear lower than a general cutting geometry (rake angle $6^{\circ}$ , clearance angle $5^{\circ}$). The effects of the three cutting variables (cutting speed, feed, tool radius) on the flank wear analyzed by fiting a simple first-order model containing interaction terms to each flank wear parameter by means of regression analysis and the predicted from first-order regression analysis model equation of flank wear.

The Advantages of hot machining are the reduction of cutting forces, tool wear, and the increase of material removal rates. In this study, a hot-machining characteristics of milling by CBN tip was exprimentely analyzed, and the influence of the surface temperature and the depth of cut on the tool life were investigated. The selection of a heating method for obtaining ideal temperature of metals in machining is important. Faulty heating methods could induce unwanted structural changes in the workpiece and increase the cost. This study uses gas flame heating. It is obtained that tungsten carbide-alloyed has a recrystallisation temperature range of $800-1000^{\circ}C$ which is the high heating temperature that might induce unwanted structural changes. If it is performed at temperatures higher than $800^{\circ}C$ in machining, the possibility of unwanted structural changes and the increased wear of tool can be shown. Consequently, in hot machining of tungsten carbide-alloy, this study has chosen $400^{\circ}C-600^{\circ}C$ because the heating temperature might be appropriate in view of the cost and workpiece considerations. The results of this study experimentally shows a new machining method for tungsten carbide-alloyed that decreases the wear rate of machining tools
