Cutting tool materials and coating technology.

Modern metal cutting tool material from carbon tool steel, high-speed steel development to today's hard alloy, cubic boron nitride and other superhard cutting tool material, cutting speed from a few meters per minute soared to km and even thousands of meters. With the continuous development of numerical control machine tools and difficult processing materials, cutting tool actual unmanageable. In order to realize high speed cutting, dry cutting, hard cutting must have a good cutting tool materials. In the many factors affecting the development of metal cutting, the cutting tool material plays a decisive role.
With the continuous development of numerical control machine tools and difficult processing materials, pressure on metal cutting efficiency, make the cutting tool material progress and plays a decisive role. Modern metal cutting tool material from carbon tool steel, until today in development of high speed steel, cemented carbide, coated cemented carbide, ceramics, cubic boron nitride and other superhard cutting tool material, cutting speed from a few meters per minute soared to km is even higher.
2012 U.S. cutter blade in consumption of material consumption, respectively is: Carbide Inserts accounted for 76.7%, 6.7% ceramic blade and metal ceramic blade 4.7%, CBN and PCD superhard blades 8.8%, other blade accounted for 3.1%; Cemented carbide cutting tool materials and coating technology continuous development, make its in modern cutting occupy market share is more and more heavy, constantly eroding the market share of the high speed steel tools. High speed steel material also has a great progress. For some of the cutting tool and machining state, high speed steel cutting tools for good tenacity still occupies a share. Metal cutting tools worldwide in 2013 (not including cutting tool) consumption amount to about $21 billion, including blade and stem 48% , high speed steel cutting tools account for 36% whole or welding carbide cutting tools account for 16%.
