Development of ceramic cutting insert of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and titanium carbide (TiC) for machining steel

Manufacturing of cutting inserts was considered difficult and required extensive as to fulfill the industries needed. Several methods were used in manufacturing the insert and one of them is pre-forming process of mix powder parts prior to densification by sintering. Isostatic pressing can be applie...
