Abstract: The cutting performance of APW series (Al203/SiCw/SiC.) ceramic tools has been researched in detail. Thewear resistance ability is APW3> APW1>JX-1 when machining stainless steel. The cutting performance of APW1is superior to that of JX-1 and YG8 (K30) when wet cutting Inconel 718(GH169) at high speed. Coolant must beused when cutting at high speed. There is an optimum speed range because of the effect of high cutting temperatureon the strength yield point of the workpiece.
