Cutting tool materials for high speed machining
LI U Zhanqiang and AI Xing

[Abstract] High speed machining ( HSM) is one of the emerging cutting processes, which is machining at a speed significantly higher than the speed commonly in use on the shop floor. In the last twenty years,  high speed machining has received great attentions as a technological solution for high productivity in manufacturing. This article reviews the developments of tool materials in high speed machining operations,  and the properties, applications and prospective developments of tool materials in HSM are also presented.
