Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
Traditional tungsten carbide tools although maintaining about 95% of the European market (1000 M Euro) appear to have reached the limits of their potential. Tools based on ceramic materials, represent about 5% of the market, are used to perform operations that cannot be done with traditional carbide tools, but they tend to be brittle and in some cases prone to failure. Improvements in toughness and increased reliability are needed in order to offer to the market a real alternative. Currently the toughest of these materials incorporates hazardous SiC whiskers and requires expensive manufacturing processes. Further potential for improving the performance and reliability of the ceramic cutting tools has also been claimed in technical and patent literature by Japanese researchers by introducing nanoscale particles of SiC into an Alumina matrix. Reproducing these results outside Japan has proved difficult.
