Abstract
Many companies face increasing demands from markets to have environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. This paper proposes a Green Key Performance Indicator for selection of cutting tools, based on embedded lifecycle energy of the insert. This facilitates decision making to achieve green machining. Two insert materials were investigated; one solid carbide and one ceramic insert. The main work piece material was gray cast iron. The results show that the embedded lifecycle energy of a ceramic insert is considerably higher than for cemented carbide but, due to higher material removal capacity, the ceramic insert has a better Green Performance Indicator.
