The objective of this SBIR Phase I proposal is to demonstrate              the feasibility of alloying an alumina matrix coupled with utilizing            titanium diboride whiskers with or without SiC whiskers to produce a            composite cutting tool that is optimized in regard to thermal                   conductivity, thermal shock resistance, hardness, strength,                     coefficient of friction, and chemical inertness.  The purpose is to             produce an optimized ceramic composite cutting tool insert that will            permit increased speed and metal removal rate to effect a                       significant increased machining productivity at an overall reduced              cost.  A statistical experimental program will be employed to                   optimize the ceramic composite cutting tool insert.  Application is             expected to be on machining of nickel alloys, cast iron, and other              metal alloys.  If this work is successful, a Phase II proposal will             be submitted.
