SUMMARY

Ceramic cutting tools must possess high strength, high fracture toughness, hardness, and wear resistance to ensure effective machining without deformation. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) does not have specific standards for cutting tools but has committed standards such as C28 for Advanced Ceramics and G02 for Wear and Erosion. Additionally, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) provide relevant standards for cutting tools. For further details, users can refer to the ASME and ASTM websites for comprehensive information on these standards.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ceramic material properties
  • Familiarity with ASTM standards, specifically C28 and G02
  • Knowledge of cutting tool applications in machining
  • Awareness of ASME standards related to cutting tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ASTM standard C28 on Advanced Ceramics
  • Explore ASTM standard G02 on Wear and Erosion
  • Investigate ASME standards related to cutting tools
  • Learn about the application of ceramic coatings on high strength alloy cutting tools
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for materials engineers, machining professionals, and quality assurance specialists involved in the selection and testing of cutting tools, particularly those focused on ceramic materials.

Hello everyone,
I have a few questions about ceramic cutting tools. What properties should a ceramic cutting tool (for lathe or shaper) must have? What tests should be performed on the material/tool? Where can I find details about those test? What are the ASTM stadard for those tests? I would be grateful if you could tell me the ASTM standard numbers also.
Thank you

Perhaps some information would be available in one's textbook.

High strength, high fracture toughness, hardness and wear resistance are desirable properties for machining tools. Basically, the material cannot deform and must retain sharpness. This is why high strength alloy (e.g. steel) cutting tools are often coated with ceramics or diamond.

ASME has a number of standards on cutting tools.

Society of Automotive Engineering (SME) may also have standards.

I don't believe ASTM has specific standards on cutting tools, but they do have a committed C28 on Advanced Ceramics and G02 on Wear and Erosion.

Nevertheless -
