Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools are widely used in industry due to their outstanding physical properties. However, the ultra-high hardness of PCD significantly limits the machining efficiency of conventional abrasive grinding processes, which are utilized to manufacture PCD tools. In contrast, electrical discharge grinding (EDG) has significantly higher machining efficiency because of its unique material removal mechanism. In this study, the quality and performance of PCD tools machined by abrasive grinding and EDG were investigated. The performance of cutting tools consisted of different PCD materials was tested by high-speed turning of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Flank wear and crater wear were investigated by analyzing the worn profile, micro morphology, chemical decomposition, and cutting forces. The results showed that an adhesive-abrasive process dominated the processes of flank wear and crater wear. Tool material loss in the wear process was caused by the development of thermal cracks. The development of PCD tools’ wear made of small-sized diamond grains was a steady adhesion-abrasion process without any catastrophic damage. In contrast, a large-scale fracture happened in the wear process of PCD tools made of large-sized diamond grains. Adhesive wear was more severe on the PCD tools machined by EDG.

It is key to improve the machining efficiency of finishing lapping machine to restrain the vibration that raise with work speed. The vibration amplitude is influenced by the excitation force of unbalanced crank-rocker mechanism and the anti-vibration performance of guide. Following improving schemes as adding counterweight to crank-rocker mechanism, adopting the light material motion components and enhancing the anti-vibration performance of guide are proposed based on theoretical and experimental studies.

Ultrasonic vibration-composited electrolysis/electro-discharge machining technology (UE/DM) is effective for machining particulate-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs). However, the vibration of the tool or workpiece suitable for holes limits the application of UE/DM. To improve the generating machining efficiency and quality of flat and curved surfaces, in this study, we implemented two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration into UE/DM and constructed a novel method named two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration-composited electrolysis/electro-discharge machining (2UE/DM). The influence of vibration on the performance of 2UE/DM compared to other process technologies was studied, and an orthogonal experiment was designed to optimize the parameters. The results indicated that the materiel remove rate (MRR) mainly increased via voltage and tool vibration. The change current was responsible for the MRR in the process. Spindle speed and workpiece vibration were not dominant factors affecting the MRR; the spindle speed and tool and workpiece vibration, which reduced the height difference between a ridge and crater caused by abrasive grinding, were responsible for surface roughness (Ra) and form precision (δ). Additionally, the optimized parameters of 1000 rpm, 3 V, and 5 um were conducted on MMCs of 40 SiCp/Al and achieved the maximum MRR and minimum Ra and δ of 0.76 mm3/min, 3.35 um, and 5.84%, respectively. This study’s findings provide valuable process parameters for improving machining efficiency and quality for MMCs of 2UE/DM.

To ensure the machining precision of work piece and improve the machining quality and machining efficiency, a dynamic transition method based on axial machining accuracy is given. Firstly, the maximum machining contour error is computed based on the axial machining accuracy, and the tool path is processed based on the machining contour error to reduce the amount of command points. Secondly, the circle transition method is used to make the tool path smoother and the machining efficiency higher. Finally, the radius of the transition circle is adjusted based on the maximum velocity of each transition circle. The experimental results shows that the method proposed could effectively satisfy the needs of the machining accuracy and improve the processing efficiency, while reduce the amount of path data.

The application of ultra-precision shaft parts is widely used, such as the spindle core of the air bearing spindle in ultra-precision machine tools. The precision of the spindle core is extremely high, and it is very difficult to obtain directly by traditional Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools but is mostly obtained by manual grinding, whose machining efficiency is greatly limited. Based on the deterministic figuring theory, this paper focuses on the ultra-precision roundness, optimizing the filtering parameters of the measurement error data and studying the generation mechanism of the removal function morphology; the shape of the removal function is adjusted by combining the analysis of the figuring ability and positioning error. Finally, the optimized removal function is used on an experimental steel shaft, the average roundness convergence ratio is 72% higher than that of the original removal function, and the roundness reaches a 0.1 μm level. The result shows that a reasonable filtering of measured data and the removal function adjusted for the surface feature can improve the efficiency and precision of deterministic figuring on shaft parts.

Tc4 Titanium Alloy

To simultaneously optimize the surface quality and machining efficiency of the electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes used to produce titanium alloy quadrilateral group small hole parts, a combined “EDM + AFM” machining technology is proposed in this paper as an efficient and high-quality machining approach. In the proposed method, TC4 titanium alloy is first machined using the EDM process with graphite electrodes and the abrasive flow machining (AFM) process is then used to finish the machined surface. The effects of various electrical parameters on EDM-derived surface quality and improvements in EDM-derived quality under the application of AFM were assessed and, using the final surface roughness as a constraint condition, the effects of various combinations of EDM and “EDM + AFM” on efficiency were studied. The results revealed that the thickness and surface roughness of the superficial recast layer of the TC4 titanium alloy increase with both current and pulse width; in particular, increasing these parameters can increase the surface roughness by two to three grades. Following AFM, the alloy has a more uniform hardness distribution and the surface stress state changes from tensile to compressive stress, indicating that the combined “EDM + AFM” machining scheme can significantly enhance the surface quality of EDM-produced titanium alloy quadrilateral small group holes. The combined scheme achieves a balancing point beyond which increasing the roughness or the number of machining holes enhances either the machining efficiency or the machining surface quality. In the case of typical titanium alloy quadrilateral group small hole parts, the combined machining process can improve the finishing efficiency and total machining efficiency by 71.2% and 25.36%, respectively.
