“…Several materials such as silicon carbide (SiC), titanium carbide (TiC), and titanium nitride (TiN), are added into the Al 2 O 3 or Si 3 N 4 matrix in order to improve the mechanical properties of the ceramic cutting tools. Si 3 N 4 -based ceramics are used in cutting tools called SIALON that came into use during the 1980s and have superior characteristics to Al 2 O 3 -based ceramics when some factors are considered [ 67 , 68 ]. For instance, the flexural strength of Si 3 N 4 can be in the range of 700–1100 MPa.…”

Machining is an indispensable manufacturing process for a wide range of engineering materials, such as metals, ceramics, and composite materials, in which the tool wear is a serious problem, which affects not only the costs and productivity but also the quality of the machined components. Thus, the modification of the cutting tool surface by application of textures on their surfaces is proposed as a very promising method for improving tool life. Surface texturing is a relatively new surface engineering technology, where microscale or nanoscale surface textures are generated on the cutting tool through a variety of techniques in order to improve tribological properties of cutting tool surfaces by reducing the coefficient of friction and increasing wear resistance. In this paper, the studies carried out to date on the texturing of ceramic and superhard cutting tools have been reviewed. Furthermore, the most common methods for creating textures on the surfaces of different materials have been summarized. Moreover, the parameters that are generally used in surface texturing, which should be indicated in all future studies of textured cutting tools in order to have a better understanding of its effects in the cutting process, are described. In addition, this paper proposes a way in which to classify the texture surfaces used in the cutting tools according to their geometric parameters. This paper highlights the effect of ceramic and superhard textured cutting tools in improving the machining performance of difficult-to-cut materials, such as coefficient of friction, tool wear, cutting forces, cutting temperature, and machined workpiece roughness. Finally, a conclusion of the analyzed papers is given.

“…Initially developed for the aerospace industry, indexable silicon aluminium oxynitride (SiAlON) ceramic inserts are used to enable economically viable cutting of traditionally hard to machine materials (nickel-based superalloys, hardened steels), but are also increasingly used to access very high material removal rates for easier to cut materials used in automotive applications (e.g., cast irons) [1][2][3]. Ceramic cutting tool materials therefore require high wear resistance, high hot hardness and good chemical stability at cutting temperatures of over 1000 • C. Previous studies [4][5][6][7][8] have concluded that SiAlON ceramic inserts exhibit wear resistance characteristics and thermal shock characteristics that outperform whisker-reinforced alumina and TiN-whisker-reinforced SiAlON in terms of wear resistance when machining nickel-based superalloys. Previous work [9][10][11][12] has identified that one of the most cost-effective ways of improving cutting performance when turning hardened steels is depositing a coating on the surface of aluminium oxide and titanium carbide (Al 2 O 3 + TiC) ceramic tools.…”

This work characterises the structure and mechanical properties, such as adhesion, of two different chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coatings deposited onto silicon aluminium oxynitride (Si3N4 + Al2O3 + Y2O3) round (RNGN) milling cutter tooling inserts. These inserts are often known by the trade abbreviation “SiAlON”. Wear was produced on the inserts using unidirectional sliding (pin-on-disc type) and scratch testing. Two coatings were investigated: a multilayer CVD coating (Coating A) with a composition of TiN + TiCN + Al2O3 and a bilayer coating (Coating B) with a composition of Al2O3 + TiN. Microstructural analysis was conducted after wear testing and Coating B demonstrated high stability when subjected to high alternating shear and tensile stresses, high abrasion resistance and very high adhesion to the SiAlON ceramic insert substrate when compared to Coating A. Coating A demonstrated a low capacity to distribute alternating shear and tensile stresses during the pin-on-disc and scratch testing, which led to failure. The scratch and pin-on-disc results from this study correlate highly with completed machining insert wear analysis that has used Coating A and Coating B SiAlON inserts to machine aged Inconel 718.

This article presents the study of the rheological properties and the printability of produced ceramic-polymer filaments using fused deposition method (FDM) 3D printing technology. Powder mixtures with an alumina content of 50 to 70 vol.% were fabricated by a wet processing route. A series of rheological experiments of the obtained mixtures were conducted in the temperature range from 200 to 220 °C for the commercial polylactide (PLA) powder and from 200 to 240 °C for ceramic-polymer, which corresponds to the recommended temperatures for 3D printing of commercial PLA filaments. The composition with the maximum content of alumina leads to a powdery material in which the molten polymer is insufficient to measure the rheological properties. In spite of this, the filaments were prepared from all the obtained mixtures with a tabletop single-screw extruder, the diameter and surface profile of which were analyzed. As the ceramic content increased, the diameter and surface roughness of the filaments increased. Therefore, it was only possible to print an object from a filament with the lowest ceramic content. However, the print quality of the 3D printed objects from the fabricated ceramic-polymer filament is worse (imperfect form, defects between layers) compared to the commercial PLA filament. To eliminate such defects in the future, it is necessary to conduct additional research on the development of printing modes and possibly modify the software and components of the 3D printer.
