No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. It is important for metal cutting tools to be made from materials harder than the material which is going to be cut, as this ensures that the tool will withstand the heat generated during the metal cutting process. It is also essential for the cutting tool to have particular geometry and clearance angles that allow the tool’s cutting edge to precisely contact the work piece, so that the cutting process is carried out efficiently.
A cutting tool must have the following characteristics in order to produce good quality and economical parts:
Hardness — harness and strength of the cutting tool must be maintained at elevated temperatures, also called hot hardness
Toughness — toughness of cutting tools is needed so that tools don’t chip or fracture, especially during interrupted cutting operations.
Wear Resistance — wear resistance means the attainment of acceptable tool life before tools need to be replaced.
