Course detail

Advanced Materials for Cutting Tools

FSI-9PMRAcad. year: 2023/2024

The subject acquaints students with the cutting tool materials. It deals with high speed steels, cemented carbides (without/with hard and wear resistant coatings), cermets, cutting ceramics and super hard tool materials (polycrystalline diamond and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride) from the viewpoint of their classification, marking, properties, production and use. The subject describes the newest tool materials of the top home and foreign cutting tools producers and methods of their coating - CVD, MTCVD, PVD and others.

Entry knowledge

Students are expected to have the knowledge acquired in the course of previous study, namely in the following fields: theory and technology of machining, material science, physics. English language is also required.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Examination verifies the theoretical knowledge of topics presented in lectures and consultations. It has an oral part only.
Recommended participations in lessons. Compulsory and checked participations in exercises and labs .Attendance at lectures is recommended, it can be substituted by regular consultations with the teacher, by consultations on the selected professional workplace outside the faculty, or by visiting technical libraries, after previous agreement with the teacher.

Aims

The goal of the course is to provide students with up-to-date specialized knowledge in the area of cutting tool materials and particular tool materials of the top home and foreign cutting tools producers.
The course familiarises students with advanced cutting tool materials (classification, marking, properties, production, producers, effective use).
