Ceramic tool has to equip with not only high toughness and strength but also low thermal expansion and good thermal conductivity which leads to the high thermal shock resistance. These characteristics make it have longer tool life under thermal stress condition. In this study, commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tool and home-made SiC based ceramic cutting tools which have different sintering time and chemical composition are tested under various cutting speed and the feed rate increase, the cutting force and the flank wear growth ratio increase, too. The performance of home-made SiC based ceramic cutting tool shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.

It is known that Si3N4 ceramic insert has less hardness than Al2O3 ceramic insert. But Si3N4 ceramic insert has not only high toughness and strength but also low thermal expansion coefficient, which makes it has longer tool life under thermal stress condition. In this study, commercial Si3N4 ceramic insert and home-made SiC-Si3N4 ceramic insert which has different sintering time and chemical composition is tested under various cutting conditions. The experimental result is compared in terms of tool life and cutting force. Generally, As the cutting speed and the feed rate increased, the cutting force and the flank wear increased too. The performance of SiC-Si3N4 ceramic insert shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.

In this study, four kinds of $Si_3N_4$-based ceramic cutting tools with different sintering time were fabricated to investigate the relation among mechanical properties, grain size and tool life. They were used to turn gray cast iron at a cutting speed of 330m/min and depth of cut of 0.5mm and 1mm in dry, continuos cutting conditions. Multiple linear regression model was used to determine the relations among the mechanical property, grain size and the density. It was found that the combination of hardness and fracture toughness showed a good relation with tool life. It was also shown that hardness was the most important single element for the tool life.

Four SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tools with different composition have been fabricated by hot-pressing. Correlations among the annealing time, the corresponding microstructure and the mechanical properties of resulting ceramics have been investigated. The fracture toughness and the grain size of both SiC and Si$_3$N$_4$in SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$composites increased with the annealing time. 1\`he hardness of SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$composites was relatively independent of the grain size and the sintered density. These ceramic cutting tools were tested under various cutting conditions and compared with the commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tools. The experimental results were compared in terms of tool life and cutting force. The performance of SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tool shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.

높은 이온화율과 복잡한 형상의 모재에도 표면 도포성 및 균일성을 나타내는 아크이온플래이팅 기술과 비전도성 세라믹 타겟물질에 적용가능한 스퍼터링 기술이 결합된 하이브리드 코팅 시스템(Hybrid coating system)을 이용하였다. 그리고 Cr-Al-N과 Cr-Si-N 코팅막의 강화 기구를 복합시킨 새로운 개념의 Cr-Al-Si-N 코팅막을 초경(WC-Co)시험편에 증착하여 Si 첨가량에 따른 미세구조의 미세경도 특성을 파악하였다. 공구성능 평가는 고속가공조건하에 마이크로 밀링기에서 무코팅(초경공구), Cr-Al-Si-N (Si : 0, 4.5, 8.7, 16 at.%) 코팅 마이크로엔드밀에 대하여 공구마멸에 대한 공구수명을 비교, 평가하였다.

Four kinds of $Si_3N_4$-based ceramic cutting tools with different sintering time were fabricated to investigante the effect of sintering time on the microstructure, mechanical properties, grain sizes and the cutting performance. An endeavor was also made to determine the relation among mechanical property, Brain size and tool life. $Si_3N_4$ home made cutting tool sintered for 1 hour under $1760^{\circ}$ temperature and 25MPa pressure showed the best cutting performance among selected ceramic tools during machining both Bray cast iron and heat treated SCM440. Multiple linear regression model was used to estimate the tool lift from mechanical property, grain size and showed good result. It was also shown that hardness imposed the biggest offect on tool life.

In order to fulfil the requirements of the various performance profiles of ceramic cutting tools, six different SiC-based ceramics have been fabricated by hot-pressing (SiC--${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites) or by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing (monolithic SiC and SiC-TiC composites). Correlation between the annealing time and the corresponding microstructure and the mechanical properties of resulting ceramics have been investigated. The grain size of both ${Si}_3 {N}_4$and SiC in SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites increased with the annealing time. Monolithic SiC has the highest hardness, SiC-TiC composite the highest toughness, and the SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composite the highest strength among the ceramics investigated. The hardness of SiC-${Si}_3 {N}_4$composites was relatively independent of the grain size, but dependent on the sintered density. The cutting performance of the newly developed SiC-based ceramic cutting tools will be described in Part 2 of this paper.

In the present study, SiCSi-$Si_3 N_4$-SiC ceramic composites that contained up to 30 wt% of dispersed SiC particles were fabricat-ed cia hot-pressing with an oxynitride glass. The microstructure, the mechanical properties and the cutting performance of resulting ceramic composites were investigated. By fixing the composition as $Si_3 N_4$-20wf%SiC, the effect of sintering time on the microstructure, the mechanical properties and the cutting performance were also investigated. The longer sir-tering time is, the bigger the grain size of SiC is. The fracture toughness(-$K_k$) of the $Si_3 N_4$-SiC ceramic composites increased with the increase of gain size, while the flexural strengthh($\sigma$) decreased. For machining SCM440, the insert with 20wt%r SiC sintered for 8 hours showed the longest tool life while the insert with 20wt% SiC sintered for 12 hours showed the longest tool life for machining gray cast iron.

화학증착법에 의해 $Si_3N_4-TiC$ 복합재료 위에 코팅된 TiC 박막은 TiN 박막에 비하여 우수한 미세구조와 열충격저항, 계면결합을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 화학증착법에 의한 TiN 박막은 TiC 박막에 비해 강철과의 마찰계수가 작고 화학적으로 안정하였다. 실험결과는 코팅된 절삭공구가 우수한 내 마모성을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 다중 코팅된 절삭공구는 단일 코팅된 공구보다 우수한 내 마모성을 보였다

Dense $Al_2$O$_3$-30%TiC and Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramic tool materials with various grain size were produced by sintering-HIP treatment and by gas-pressure sintering. The fracture toughness was measured by indentation fracture and indentation strength method for both ceramics with various grain size. The effect of the grain size on the fracture toughness was evaluated, and the correlation between fracture toughness and mechanical properties such as hardness, Young\`s modulus and flexural strength of these ceramic were also investigated. The highest fracture toughness of around 6.7 MPa.m(sup)1/2 was obtained in Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramics with grain size of 1.58${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. With a larger grain size of $Al_2$O$_3$-30%TiC and Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramics, the fracture toughness was generally increased. The increased fracture toughness of these ceramic also improved the flexural strength although the hardness decreased considerably. Similar results were obtained in grain size and mechanical properties on both $Al_2$O$_3$-30%TiC and Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramic tool materials.
