Cutting Tool Materials
2008
This chapter provides the state-of-the-art materials engineering sector that produces cutting tool materials for different manufacturing branches. It highlights the special demands on this special material group for modern machining technologies. Five groups of cutting tool materials are characterized in terms of their mechanical and thermo-physical properties: high-speed steels, sintered tungsten carbides, cermets, ceramics and superhard materials, all as conventional (uncoated) and coated grades. The most popular techniques of coating deposition on various substrates are described. Practical examples of cutting tool inserts made of various materials produced by leading world manufacturers…
The Joining of LiNbO3, Quartz, TlBr-TlI and Other Optical Materials by the Use of Thin Metal Films as Bonding Agents
2000
A method of joining ferroelectric, optical and other non-metallic materials, such as lithium niobate, quartz, TlBr-TlI, glass, etc., at room temperature under a pressure of 0.1÷0.5 MPa is described. The surfaces to be joined are prepared to optical flatness, and indium or lead coatings as bonding agents are used. To obtain clean surfaces, procedures of the coating deposition and sample joining are performed in situ in a vacuum of l0-4 Pa. The strength of the obtained joints is about 20MPa for indium coatings and about 30MPa for lead coatings. It is supposed that attractive surface forces play a decisive role in the contact formation and bonding of the wafers. The method has been applied for…
