Abstract: Better and more capable tool materials allow machine tools to cut at increasingly higher speeds and feeds. In recent decades, high speed machining has received an important interest as a technological solution for high productivity to increase economic efficiency in manufacturing. The recent developments of cutting tool materials in high speed machining are reviewed. The appropriate applications of the high speed machining technology are presented. It can conclude that the optimal matching of mechanical, physical, and chemical properties between tool and workpiece materials is very important in high speed machining. The research is very great beneficial to the design and the selection of tool materials in high speed machining.
