This paper presents a study of cutting strategies on the surface generation in single-point diamond turning of micro V-groove patterns on precision roller drums. An aluminium precision roller drum with a diameter 250mm and 100 long was diamond turned with a V-groove pattern. A series of cutting experiments were designed to study the effect of the variation of various cutting parameters and cutting tool paths on the surface quality in diamond turning of the precision roller drum. The parameters under investigation included the depth of cut, number of steps and the depth for each cut when diamond turning V-grooves on the cylindrical surface of a workpiece. The measurement result indicates that the surface quality of V-grooves machined on the precision roller drums is affected by cutting strategies. The optimal cutting strategy for machining a V-groove pattern on a precision drum with 5µm depth was obtained.

Machined Surface

Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) is widely used in industrial fields due to its excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. However, the lack of research on the machinability and cutting performance of BMG using single-point diamond turning (SPDT) limits its application for engineering manufacturing. In the present research, a series of turning experiments were carried out under different cutting parameters, and the machinability reflected by the quality of machined surface, chip morphology, and tool wear were analyzed. Based on the oxidation phenomenon of the machined surface, a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to study the mechanism and suppression of the machined surface oxidation during the cutting. The results show that: (1) The Pd-based BMG had good machinability, where the machined surface roughness could go down to 3 nm; (2) irregular micro/nanostructures were found along the tool path on the outer circular region of the machined surface, which greatly affected the surface roughness; and (3) the cutting heat softened the workpiece material and flattened the tool marks under surface tension, which improved the surface quality. This research provides important theoretical and technical support for the application of BMG in optical mold manufacturing.

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) is a recently developed ceramic material with many merits such as low manufacturing temperature, dense structure, high purity and low cost. In the present paper, the precision machinability of RB-SiC was studied by microindentation and single-point diamond turning (SPDT) tests. The influence of depth of cut and tool feed rate on surface roughness and cutting force was investigated. Results showed that there was no clear ductile-brittle transition in machining behavior. The material removal mechanism involves falling of the SiC grains and intergranular microfractures of the bonding silicon, which prevents from large-scale cleavage fractures. The minimum surface roughness depends on the initial material microstructure in terms of sizes of the SiC grains and micro pores. This work preliminarily indicates that SPDT can be used as a high-efficiency machining process for RB-SiC.

Material Swelling

The swelling effect is an important factor to affect surface generation in SPDT. Face cutting experiments are conducted for copper, aluminum alloy and electroless nickel phosphorus to analyze the swelling effect including the relationship between it and cutting parameters as well as effect of material property. How the material swelling affects surface roughness is also studied in this paper. The results indicate that the swelling effect is influenced by spindle speed and material property more remarkably when compared to feed rate and depth of cut. In addition, a softer and more ductile material will lead to a stronger material recovery, a lower swelling proportion, a lower tool mark height and a smoother machined surface. The result reveals that the swelling effect must be considered when predicting surface roughness in SPDT

This paper presents a multi-spectrum analysis method for the characterization of the surface generation in single-point turning of brittle single crystals. The features on the diamond turned surfaces were extracted and analysed by the power spectrum analysis of the surface roughness profiles measured at a number radial sections of the workpiece. By the analysis of the variation of the spectral patterns in the multi-spectrum plots, the surface roughness and materials effect on surface generation are found to be strongly related to the power spectrum. This provides an important means to explain quantitatively the effect of factors affecting the surface generation in diamond turning brittle crystals.

Processing Techniques

Aluminum alloy (Al6061) is a common material used in the ultraprecision area. It can be machined with a good surface finish by single-point diamond turning (SPDT). Due to the material being relatively soft, it is difficult to apply post-processing techniques such as ultraprecision lapping and ultraprecision polishing, as they may scratch the diamond-turned surface. As a result, a novel low-pressure lapping method was developed by our team to reduce the surface roughness. In this study, a finite element model was developed to simulate the mechanism of this novel lapping technology. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results so as to gain a better understanding of the lapping mechanism.

A multi-scale model is proposed to explain the effect of material induced vibration and the quantitative relation between cutting force and the surface quality from dislocations, grain orientations, cutting tools, machine tools used in the simulation of the nano-3D surface topology in single-point diamond turning. The model-based simulation system composes of several model elements which include a microplasticity model, a dynamic model and an enhanced surface topography model. The multi-scale model brings together knowledge from various disciplines to link up physical phenomenon occurring at different length scales to explain successfully the surface generation in single-point diamond turning of crystalline materials, and offers a new direction of research in ultra-precision machining.
