Kyon Ceramic Machine Tools

6 coated ceramic inserts such as this kyon 4400 tool can offer an economical alternative to superhard polycrystalline tools in some hard machining operations.

Kyon ceramic machine tools.

I have used a white colored ceramic called macor which can be machined even with hss tools although it does wear them away a bit faster than tough steels. Road rehabilitation tools roadrazor eco pro road rehabilitation tools roadrazor ii rz series road rehabilitation tools roadrazor classic rc series. Like all of the machines at superior this one uses superabrasive grinding tools to machine ceramic workpieces. Latrobe pa kennametal s new a4 groove turn inserts made of kyon 3500 a proprietary si3n4 ceramic grade enable high productivity machining of gray cast iron with superior performance in high speed grooving applications.

Kumar as durai ar sornakumar t. Oxide based ceramic tools gave a good perfor mance when machining at cutting speeds below 250 m min 1 and above 450 m min 1. I used macor in applications where it had to withstand moderatly powerful laser hits and remain white. If you do machine macor wear breathing protection.

Development and trend of ceramic cutting tools from the perspective of mechanical processing. Earth and environmental science. The newest members of the kyon cutting ceramics family from kennametal inc. In iop conference series.

Manufacturing technology machine tool 2011. Kyon 3500 is an advanced silicon nitride ceramic grade developed by kennametal. Figure 1 shows the recorded tool lives and failure modes when machin ing g14 grade cast iron with pure oxide k060 mixed oxide k090 and sialon kyon 2000 tools. Still the main cutting force decreased to 734 n by 45 5 by using a square formed kyon 4300 sngn 120712 ceramic tool and the decrement of cutting force when using rngn 120700 ceramic tool is 35.

The effect of tool wear on tool life of alumina based ceramic cutting. The fact that the cutting force determined by using rngn 120700 ceramic tools is higher than that by using sngn 120712 ceramic tools can be connected. However much lower cutting speeds in the range of 1000 to 4000 fpm and lower are more common because of limitations placed by the machine tool cutters and chucks.
