1. Emerging Trends in Metal Cutting Technologies
To improve productive manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to improve their
tooling capability . Keeping with the demand of manufacturing industry metal cutting
tools have also evolved over time. By fine tuning the combination of material used in
cutting tool , its angle of cut and coating used toolmakers are regularly making advances
in metal cutting tools.

Nonferrous Fulfilment
To improve fuel efficiency, the tools are adopting aluminium as their tool material of
choice especially in vehicle manufacturing industry. In 1980 where aluminium made up
about 3 percent of typical midsize car, has now increased to 5 percent by 1990 and to 25
percent by 2010. These change in manufacturing are driving the change in metal cutting
industry
Nodular cast iron
Grey cast iron which is used to be the main component of vehicle manufacturing is also
being replaced by tougher Nodular cast iron. Tools to machine such hard metal should be
abrasive and endure interruptions while cutting and nodular cast iron provides just that

Physical-vapor-deposition
Physical-vapor-deposition (PVD) coatings are being hugely preferred these days over
CVD coatings in various operation and machining operations. Commercialized in 1980s,
PVD coating process allows the coating to happen over sharp corner of edges. Tool with
PVD edges are heavily used in milling, drilling of low carbon steels. PVD coating which
are replacing CVD coating are fast becoming coating of choice for tools that are used to
work on titanium, nickel based alloys, and nonferrous materials.
Dry Machining
Government legislation is affecting metal cutting tool development. In few countries
there are environmental concerns over use of cutting fluid. These kind of mandate are
resulting in shifting the cutting process to dry machining. Dry machining is a harsh
process and this requires tools that can minimize use of coolant and follow parameters of
government legislation.
Tool with thick alumina coating are ideal for such machining steel as they allow
increased feed rates reducing contact time with the work piece and reduce temperature of
the tool. This hugely increases productivity of the tool. Tools with PVD TiAlN and
lubricious PVD MoS2 coating are good for dry drilling and tapping. This focus on dry
machining will further enhance tooling capability in future which will provide high
thermal resistance and increase productivity.
Cermets For NearNet
Cermet cutting tools is response to nearnetshape manufacturing trends. Ceremets are high
wear resistance due to its composition of titanium carbonitride (TiCN) with a nickelcobalt
binder. Cermet cutting tool are best for materials that produce ductile chip. They have
high speed capability thus are excellent for producing carbon, stainless steels and produce
excellent finish.

Machining the Hard Way
Cutting tool is constantly on the lookout for developing tool that are productive in hard
machining operations. Both environmental and governmental factors along with financial
constraints govern the development of such tools that can work on hardened work pieces
Latest trend that has emerged in metal cutting industry for hardened material are tools
made of polycrystalline cubic boron nitrides, as well as ceramic tools.
