Ceramic tools have high resistance to heat and to wear and can be used to machine metals that are extremely hard, and they are chemically stable. These attributes allow them to be used to machine metals at high cutting speeds and in dry machining conditions because it is not necessary to reduce temperatures on the cutting edges of these tools. However, these favorable properties are exchanged in machining for lower toughness when these tools are compared with carbide tools. This deficiency…
