Summary: Tungsten is commonly used in various industries, including nuclear and research facilities, due to its unique properties. However, its poor machinability and brittleness present challenges for tooling solutions. In this study, various tool materials were tested for turning high purity tungsten, with only PCD and PVD coated cemented carbide showing sufficient performance. Wear mechanisms were analyzed, revealing abrasion, oxidation, and cracking for carbide tools, while PCD tools showed mainly abrasion and diffusional dissolution. Surface quality issues were attributed to factors such as cracking, porosity, and adhesion.

Summary: The volume erosion rate of slip cast monolithic and composite ceramics was investigated under different impact angles (30 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees), using SiO2 and SiC particles as erodents, at room temperature. It was found that the erosion of both monolithic and composite ceramics increased with the increase of the impact angle. The erosion resistance of monolithic Al2O3 increased with the increasing amount of ZrO2 in the composite Al2O3-ZrO2 ceramics, indicating that erosion resistance can be improved with the addition of ZrO2.

Summary: This paper discusses the influence of silicon on the manufacturing process, structure, phase composition, and properties of titanium aluminide alloys. TiAl-Si alloys are composed of a titanium aluminide matrix reinforced by titanium silicides, exhibiting wear resistance comparable to tool steels, high hardness, and good high-temperature oxidation resistance (up to 1000 degrees C), but low room-temperature ductility typical of intermetallic materials. The alloys have been successfully produced using powder metallurgical and melting metallurgy methods.
