Abstract

The goal of this research was to fabricate an alumina-based cutting tool by powder metallurgy process. The process began with the compacting of spray dried alumina powders by using hydraulic hand press and Cold Isostatic Press in the form of round inserts. The alumina compacts were sintered at elevated temperature to form hard solidified structures. Machining trials were held with turning AISI 1045 cutting speeds between 200 m/min to 350 m/min with constant 0.15 mm/rev and 0.5 mm depth of cut. The results show that wear performance, the compacted alumina can machine AISI 1045 with a maximum tool life of 52 s at a cutting speed of 250 m/min. Because of the single particle packing without toughening, the sintered cutting tool exhibited brittle characteristics.
