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 poor machinability material such as austenite stainless steel(STS304) is emphasized on the wide use of HSSE for the tapping operation. The difficulty can be entirely to tapping torque due to chip formation through the hole of tap. The object of this study is to investigate tap geometry affecting the tapping torque from a practical point of view. The study shows that the optima tapping torque is affected by the tap geometry and cutting condition for STS304.

In this study, unsintered, presintered and full-sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability and the optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) Machined with alloy steel tool, the machinability of the presintered ceramics becomes better with the decrease of presintering temperature, but that of unsintered ceramics(white body) was extremely poor. (2) In the case of carbide, K01, the tool life in machining the white body was the longest, and the machinability of presintered ceramics becomes poorer with the increase of the presintering temperature. (3) The K01 tools exhibit longer life than the P10 tools in machining both the white body and the ceramics presintered at $1450^\circC$ or higher temperatures, but the P10 tools shows longer tool life than the K10 tools in machining of the ceramics presintered at temperatures below $1450^\circC$.

SiCp-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing 8 wt % and 16 wt % of $SiC_p-reinforced$ with 30 and $45\;{\mu}m$ in sizes were prepared by a melt stirring-squeeze casting technique. Microstructural observation showed that particle distributions were reasonably well. Turning experiments were carried out on the composites using uncoated and triple-layer coated carbide tools at various cutting speeds under a constant feed rate and depth of cut. Coated tools indicated better performance than uncoated tools for all the materials while the poor surface finish was obtained for coated tools.

In this study, unsistered, pre-sintered and sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machniability, the optimum tool materials and the optimum tool materials and the optimum cutting conditions. The maon conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) Machined withalloy steel tool, the machinabilty of te pre-sintered ceramics becomes better with the decrease of pre-sintering temperature, but that of unsintered ceramics(white body) was extremely poor. (2) In the case of carbide tool K01, the tool life in machining white body was the longest, and the machinabilty of pre-sintered ceramics becomes poorer with the increase of the pre-sintering temperature. (3) In the case of ceramic tool, the 10000-1100 .deg. C pre-sintered ceramics showed te best machinability within a certain cutting speed range. So far as dry machining, the above combination and conditions showed the highest productivity. (4) When the pre-sintered ceramics were wet machined withsintered diamond tool, the tool life becomes extremelylong, and higher cutting speed can be can be used than in the case offull-sintered ceramics. The productivity of wet cutting is much higher than that ofdry cutting.

Inconel 718 alloy has been widely used in the aerospace, heavy industry and electronic industry. However, the machinability of this alloy is very poor, which is attributed to their inherent high strength that is maintained at elevated temperatures. The tool life is dominant problem in machining difficult-to-cut materials, so it is necessary to select the efficient cutting conditions for the improvement of tool life. In this study, the cutting force, tool wear and surface roughness are investigated in end milling machining under various cutting conditions. By this experiment, the efficient machining condition of this alloy is suggested to adopt in various industries.

Various amount of NbC carbide was intentionally formed in a matrix-type cold-work tool steel by controlled amount of Nb and C addition. And the effect of NbC addition on the mechanical properties was investigated. Four alloys with different Nb and C contents were cast by vacuum induction melting, then hot forging and spheroidizing annealing were conducted. The machinability of the annealed specimens was examined with 3 different cutting tools. And tensile tests at room temperature were conducted. After quenching and tempering, hardness and impact toughness were measured, while wear resistance was evaluated by disk-on-plate type wear test. The increasing amount of NbC addition resulted in degraded machinability with increased strength, whereas the absence of NbC also led to poor machinability due to high toughness. After quenching and tempering, the additional NbC improved wear resistance with increasing hardness, whereas it deteriorated impact toughness. Therefore, it could be found that a moderate addition of NbC was desirable for the balanced combination of mechanical properties.

The extruder screw material is mainly SKD11, but the recent development of synthetic resins have increased the occurrence of chemical corrosion and wear. To solve this issue, high chromium cast iron is needed because of its good abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance, but its use is avoided because of its poor machinability. In this study, to improve the machinability of high chrome cast iron, 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5% of nickel, which has excellent workability, was added to high chromium cast iron with a composition of Fe-23Cr-2.5C-1.2Si-1.08Mn-0.48Mo-0.3V, and annealed after casting. Subsequently, the effect of nickel on the machinability and corrosion resistance was analyzed using a turning test and coin polarization test, and compared with SKD11. After casting using a high-frequency vacuum induction furnace, the annealing treatment was performed at 750 ℃ for five hours and then reheated at 1100 ℃ for five hours. A turning test after annealing at 750 ℃ showed that the machinability was improved remarkably when the nickel content was over 1.0%. In the potentiodynamic polarization test in a 5% NaCl solution, the corrosion resistance decreased with increasing nickel content in the as-cast and annealing treatment. On the other hand, after reheating, the corrosion resistance was best with a 1.5% nickel content.
