PREREQUISITES
COURSE AIM
CONTENTS
The course is mostly experimental (around 70% of the time) with seminars related to specific aspects in the experimental work. The aim of the practical work is to produce a silicon nitride based cutting tool, by sieving and mixing the powders, pressing, sintering and processing to final shape (by laser, water jet and traditional cutting with a diamond wheel). After that, the tool will be treated to machining on cast iron with a cutting speed of around 1200m(min. The wear will then be compared to a similar tool made by Sandvik, treated to the same test procedure. In the experimental work there also will be a determination of the Weibull modulus for Al2O33 components made by Ifö AB.The experimental work is, by experience, rather time consuming.
