Influence of Laser Modification of the Surface Layer of Al2O3–TiC Ceramics on the Reliability of Cutters Under Stationary Operating Conditions

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Pulsed laser modification of the surface layer of an Al2O3–TiC ceramic had a positive effect on the reliability of cutters when turning hardened steel SHX15. The greatest effect was recorded at the initial stage of operation of ceramic tools and was associated with an increase in the hardness and crack resistance of the modified ceramic surface layer.
