Indexable inserts for a turning tool are manufactured from cemented carbide through the process of powder metallurgy. In this process, a mixture of carbide powders and a binder is compressed and then sintered at a temperature above the binder’s melting point. The wear on the cutting edge, typically in the form of a groove, is caused by abrasion and diffusion occurring between the outgoing chip and the tool's edge during machining. ## Keywords blunt cutting insert inventions materials physics metallurgy
