Frbiz.com, one of China's leading B2B search platforms, analyzes cutting tool development trends.
Multifunctional cutting tools and high efficient cutting tools will become the mainstream development trend in the industry. Facing increasing difficulties processing materials, the cutting tool industry must improve technology and research new cutting tool mechanics to create more reasonable cutter structures.
Manufacturing technology levels are affected by the cutter industry, while the influence of the development of manufacturing industry also promotes higher cutting tool industry development.
In the future, the multifunctional cutting tool, high-speed and high-efficient cutting tools will become the mainstream of development.
First, carbide materials and coating applications will increase more. Fine particle, super-fine cemented carbide material is the development direction, with nano filters and new structures. Coating materials will greatly improve performance of cutting tools as physical coating applications continue to increase.
Second, new cutting tool applications will increase, with ceramics, metal ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, PCBN, PCD and so on using cutting tool materials to further enhance their toughness.
Third, cutting technology is experiencing a period of rapid development. High-speed cutting, hard turning and dry cutting continue rapid development, with application scope expanding rapidly.
Fourth, cutting tool research and development is becoming more targeted and specific. Research and development no longer follows common brands and common structures. Facing complex applications and processing conditions, research and development has become stronger.
Fifth, the role of cutting tool manufacturers has changed. From the simple tool manufacturing, the role has extended to new cutting technology development and the corresponding technology and solutions development, to provide users with comprehensive technical support and services.
Sixth, informatization has improved the industry, with manufacturers both cooperating and creating fierce market competition.
