Popis: Tool life and failure mechanisms of a microwave-sintered sub-crystal Al2O3/SiC ceramic tool (AS) in dry turning hardened steel were studied. The AS tool with plane face shows better cutting performance and wear resistance than the commercial ceramic tool SW500 and cemented carbide tool YG8 at both low and high cutting speeds. It's suitable for dry cutting at high speed (210–270 m/min), the cutting distance is 5–8 times longer than that of other two tools. The results indicate that the ceramic tool fabricated by this pressureless sintering technology can satisfy the requirements of high-speed machining. Wear forms of AS tool at low cutting speed are slight crater wear and groove wear, which were mainly caused by abrasion. At high cutting speed, tool failure forms are cater wear, groove wear and slight chipping caused by severe abrasion and adhesion.
