AbstractIn this paper, we present the manufacturing process of a polymer microfluidic device which is currently being used to investigate wetting properties of nanostructured microchannels replicated in hydrophobic thermoplastic materials like cyclo-olefin co-polymer (COC), polypropylene (PP) or polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA). These devices feature large structural dynamics (feature sizes between 200 μm and 200 nm). The mold insert necessary was fabricated using a combination of precision machining with single-point diamond turning (SPDT).

Abstract This article is written as a tribute to Professor Frederick Fongsun Ling 1927–2014. Single-point diamond machining, a subset of a broader class of processes characterized as ultraprecision machining, is used for the creation of surfaces and components with nanometer scale surface roughnesses, and submicrometer scale geometrical form accuracies. Its initial development centered mainly on the machining of optics for energy and defense related needs. Today, diamond machining has broad applications that include the manufacture of precision freeform optics for defense and commercial applications, the structuring of surfaces for functional performance, and the creation of molds used for the replication of a broad range of components in plastic or glass. The present work focuses on a brief review of the technology. First addressed is the state of current understanding of the mechanics that govern the process including the resulting forces, energies and the size effect, forces when cutting single crystals, and resulting cutting temperatures. Efforts to model the process are then described. The workpiece material response when cutting ductile and brittle materials is also included. Then the present state of the art in machine tools, diamond tools and tool development, various cutting configurations used, and some examples of diamond machined surfaces and components are presented. A discussion on the measurement of surface topography, geometrical form, and subsurface damage of diamond machined surfaces is also included.

Damage Depth

The damaging of ZnSe crystal has a significant impact on its service performance and life. Based on the specific cutting energies for brittle and ductile mode machining, a model is proposed to evaluate the damage depth in the shoulder region of ZnSe crystal during single point diamond machining. The model considers the brittle-ductile transition and spring back of ZnSe crystal. To verify the model, the elastic modulus, hardness, spring back, and friction coefficient of ZnSe crystal are measured by nanoindentation and nanoscratch tests, and its critical undeformed chip thickness is obtained by spiral scratching. Meanwhile, orthogonal cutting experiments are conducted to obtain the different shoulder regions and cutting surfaces. The shoulder damage depth is analyzed, indicating that the effect of the feed on the damage depth at a high cutting depth is stronger than that at a low one. The model is verified to be effective with an average relative error of less than 7%. Then, the model is used to calculate the critical processing parameters and achieve a smooth ZnSe surface with a roughness Sa = 1.0 nm. The model is also extended to efficiently predict the bound of the subsurface damage depth of a cutting surface. The research would be useful for the evaluation of surface and subsurface damages during the ultra-precision machining of ZnSe crystal.

This paper attempts to represent a case of calculating of the energy power that is consumed by CNC milling machine when manufacturing via forming membrane metal sheet by SPIF (Single Point Incremental Forming), the recent manufacturing process of metal sheet forming by drafting a no cutting-edge spheric tip tool on a clamped metal sheet. The calculation is based on the disclocation, the crystal plasticity and the slip of lattices inside the structure of the deformed metal. In the while time there is a series of empirical species of 24 groups batch of workpieces that were also machined by CNC milling machine Bridge Port VMC500, CAD/CAM Lab., FME of HCMUT for checking this calculation on consumed power.

A machine tool of very high stiffness has been constructed and used for single-point diamond grooving of blanks of soda-lime glass and optical glassy quartz. Results show that below a critical depth of cut predicted in order of magnitude by a fracture mechanics analysis, material is removed by the action of plastic flow, leaving crack-free surfaces. Subsequent observations by scanning electron microscopy indicate that a crucial part in the detachment of ribbons of swarf is played by the operation of residual stresses after the passage of the tool, particularly in the case of the amorphous ceramic.
