Title:
Method of using Si.sub.3 N.sub.4.Y.sub.2 O.sub.3.SiO.sub.2 ceramic system for machining cast iron
Abstract:
A process for continuous or interrupted machine cutting of solid cast iron by milling, turning or boring with a shaped tool, wherein said shaped tool is a ceramic consisting essentially of Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 and 4-12% by weight Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, produced by hot pressing at a pressure and a temperature of 1700.degree.-1750.degree. C. to achieve substantially full density.
