Conductive layers are applied on the non-conductive material of cutting insert made from nitride ceramics. The layer is applied so that the cutting edge and adjacent surface create closed conductive circuit for each cutting edge separately. Throughout turning process come about wear of cutting edge and therefore wear of resistance layer. It results in decreasing of cross - section of resistance layer and increasing values of resistance. The records are carry out after individual cuts. The aim is to find the dependence between the course of wear and the course of electrical resistance during machining ductile iron EN-GJS-700-3. ER
