Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) based on TiC–TiB2 have attracted enormous interest
during recent years because, in comparison to single-phase ceramics, they exhibit superior …

A Complete Reference Covering the Latest Technology in Metal Cutting Tools, Processes,
and Equipment Metal Cutting Theory and Practice, Third Edition shapes the future of …

In this review work, various conventional cutting fluids and their application methods have
been discussed, which serve different functions such as cooling, lubrication, cleaning, and …

The evidence is clear that a lack of attention to structured tool management has resulted in
the poor performance of many manufacturing systems. Plant tooling systems affect product …

Nickel-based alloys, referred to as the most difficult-to-cut materials, pose a great challenge
to cutting tool materials due to their excellent high-temperature properties. Ceramic tools …

Al2O3–SiC composites containing up to 30wt.% of dispersed SiC particles (∼ 280nm) were
fabricated via hot-pressing and machined as cutting tools. The Al2O3–SiC particulate …

This paper presents an indentation‐quench method to determine the resistance of ceramics
to thermal cycling. The method defines a critical quench temperature difference, ΔTc, based …

Recently, high-temperature composites reinforced with in-situ phases have been developed
as a new class of composites for harsh environments. The behaviour of these composites …

The thermal shock resistance (indentation–quench method), fracture toughness, and
thermal conductivity of three alumina–silicon–carbide–whisker composites and alumina …

In this book, thermal stress resistance of materials is considered comprehensively, in terms
of various parameters of thermal loading, defining service conditions of the components of …
