Where do ceramic cutting tools add the most value?

In high-speed or dry cutting of hard materials, where high hardness, low chemical affinity, and thermal stability enable longer tool life and better finishes.

Which alumina routes and additives should I consider?

Select from 3N–4N Baikalox® alumina grades with controlled PSD and morphology; consider MgO for grain refinement and ZTA composites for thermal-shock tolerance in high-speed/interrupt cuts.

What will I learn from the white paper?

You’ll explore performance advantages, ceramic tool classes, the material properties that matter most, and Baikowski®’s optimized alumina offering for next-generation tools.

Why download this white paper?

To understand the material levers behind tool life, speed, and finish; compare alumina routes and additives; and see how tailored Baikowski® powders and composites improve real-world machining outcomes.
