Ceramics: Fact or Fiction?
1. Ceramics are brittle and lack predictability.
2. Ceramics are applicable in limited and often specific
applications only.
3. High heat required for ceramics damages the micro-
structure of the parent material.
4. Traditionally high cutting speeds are required.
5. Machines and setup must have maximum rigidity.
6. Utilizing ceramics provides highly productive and
predictable processes.
7. Care to share any others myths or facts?
