The hard abrasive reinforcement phase causes rapid tool wear during machining and, consequently, high machining costs. A series of dry high-speed turning tests were performed to select the optimum tool material, tool geometry and cutting parameters for the turning of 20%SiCAl metal-matrix composites. The results indicate that polycrystalline diamond tools (PCD) provide satisfactory tool life compared to alumina and coated-carbide tools, where the latter tools suffered from excessive edge chipping and crater wear during the machining of the metal-matrix composite under study. Furthermore, the cost of PCD tools could be justified by using dry cutting at feed rates as high as 0.45 mm rev 1, cutting speeds of 894 m min 1 and a depth of cut of 1.5 mm. With these cutting parameters, the relatively small built-up edge formed on the tool protects it from further wear by abrasion and micro-cutting. Polycrystalline tools with zero rake angle and large tool nose radii are recommended for the roughing operations. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved. Keywords: Metal-matrix compo
