Cutting benefits of ceramic and cermet tools
Ceramic and cermet cutting tools offer productivity-boosting benefits when the application is appropriate.
Ceramic surprises: Turning Performance
Shops may be unaware of these ceramic cutter applications and developments.
Grinding ceramic medical parts requires (diamond) grit, patience
Grinding ceramics is unlike most other grinding operations. These superhard, brittle materials need a slow and steady hand.
Ceramic composite cutting tools: are they tough enough?
Ceramic composite cutting tools are effective for machining heat-resistant superalloys and other challenging materials.
Get In The Groove: Turning Performance
Modern grooving and cut-off systems offer versatile geometries, stronger carbide and ceramic options, smarter cooling and custom tooling for complex parts.
Shape-shifting ceramics: Medical Manufacturing
Ceramic materials discovery could improve everything from medical devices to electronics.
Ceramic Healing: Medical Manufacturing
Advanced ceramics' properties make them suitable materials for medical instruments and implants, as well as for parts in medical devices. Making ceramic parts, however, requires manufacturing techniques similar to those used to make P/M parts and may require applying diamond-impregnated tools and wheels.
Not So Hard: General Industry Coverage
Machining techniques for hard milling with ceramic tools.

Ceramics Take a Turn: Turning Performance
Author describes applications for the two basic types of ceramic turning inserts–alumina and silicon nitride–as well as the types of parts and materials users have turned with them. Specifics about speeds, feeds and DOCs are given.
Ceramics Get Tough: Turning Performance
Improvements in cermet and ceramic inserts have made them a good choice for high-speed milling. This article describes how the compositions and designs of these newer inserts make them tough enough to withstand the punishment of a milling operation while maintaining the hardness that makes them wear-resistant.
On Boring’s Cutting Edge
Although machinists are using cermet and ceramic cutting tools for an increasing number of applications, they have been slow to adopt them for boring. This is beginning to change, however. This article describes some of the ways a boring operation can benefit from the use of these tools.
