New Ceramic Excellence for Complex Machining of Engine Materials

New tool ceramics on the basis of A1<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>. exhibit an outstanding performance on coarse, intermittent, and final precision machining of engine materials like vermicular or chilled (hard) globular cast iron or hardened steel. These tools do not only provide a chance to substitute grinding by time-saving cutting operations, they can also be integrated into new machining concepts which minimize the frequency of tool exchanges reducing costs.
