The manufacturing costs of semiconductor products such as silicon wafers can be reduced by decreasing the kerf loss. In addition, a decrease in the kerf loss leads to an effective utilization of rare materials, which is environmentally beneficial from the viewpoint of saving resources. This study aims to reduce the kerf loss during slicing hard and brittle materials. Therefore, the possibility of using an extremely thin metal foil blade instead of a wire tool in slicing was examined. Initially, grooving characteristics using a metal foil blade (thickness: 50 μm or less) was investigated. The main conclusions are that grooving with a metal foil blade is possible and kerf loss can be reduced. The groove depth tends to increase as the machining time and particle size of abrasives increase. The groove width is smaller when a thin metal foil blade is used and vice versa. However, if the abrasive particle size is too large, grooving becomes impossible. Since the wear of metal foil blade increases with an increase in the particle size of the abrasive, it is necessary to use an abrasive with a particle size that is suitable for the thickness of the metal foil blade.

Multi-wire saw machining (MWSM) used for slicing hard-brittle materials in the semiconductor and photovoltaic industries is an important and efficient material removal process that uses free abrasives. The cutting model of single-wire saw machining (SWSM) is the basis of MWSM. The material removal mechanism of SWSM is more easily understood than MWSM. A mathematical model (includes brittle fracture and plastic deformation) is presented in this paper for SWSM ceramic with abrasives. This paper determines the effect of various machining parameters on the removal of hard-brittle materials. For brittle fracture of SWSM ceramics, the minimum strain energy density is used as a fracture criterion. For plastic deformation of SWSM ceramics, the material removal is calculated using equations of motion. Actual wire-sawing experiments are conducted to verify the results of the developed mathematical model. The theoretical results agree with experimental data and practical experience. From the developed mathematical model, brittle fracture plays a major role in material removal of SWSM ceramics. Wire speed (S) and working load (P) are positively correlated with material removal of SWSM ceramics. The coefficient of friction is low, a lateral crack, which propagates almost parallel to the working surface, leads to more brittle fracture and material removal is increased.

Most existing models for abrasive jet machining (AJM) are based on erosion models for either ductile or brittle materials. This classification imposes some limitations, because most materials are neither absolutely ductile nor absolutely brittle, but lay within the continuous spectrum between those two idealizations. This work reports recent progress in the modeling of erosion processes for real materials, and discusses the implications of a new model in estimating the performance of AJM. The new model is more capable in explaining the effects of jet velocity, abrasive particle size, and various material properties on the efficiency of the cutting process.

A discussion is presented on the behavior of materials during erosion. A rigorous analysis must make an assumption as to the mechanism of material removal, i.e., either ductile or brittle. One expects then, when comparing experimental results, that considerable differences in erosion characteristics will be apparent between these two classes of materials. In this paper it is shown that these differences do exist; however, for certain brittle materials, a considerable similarity to ductile materials exists. This similarity is in the dependence of erosion on abrasive particle velocity and diameter and on the material properties of the eroded surface.

The semi-fixed abrasive tool (SFAT) is a new tool used in the ultra-precision machining. Based on the theory of particle flow code (PFC), the abrasive particle motion characteristics of SFAT are studied in SFAT processing which is divided to workpiece pressing progress and workpiece tangential moving progress. It is conclusion that the particles are fallen out the tool surface due to the fracture of bonds under the normal force of workpiece point in the workpiece pressing progress; the particles contacting the workpiece are moved on every hand while some particles fall out the surface at the edge of abrasive tool in the workpiece tangential moving progress, and the maximum value of binding agent holding force is computed.

The paper discusses the near wall region of soft abrasive particle flow in weak force finish machining method. Turbulent flow morphology in near wall region of rectangular channel with different viscosity is numerically simulated and compared. Through the analysis of kinetic equation of abrasive particle, the abrasive particle motion trace of different diameter in turbulent flow with different viscosity is simulated and compared. The result reveals the condition under which the fluids with different viscosity can form Turbulent flow is different. The greater the viscosity is, the greater the velocity needed is. Also the quantitative relation of velocity and flow volume is available to determine the pump parameter in abrasive particle flow machining. Fluid at wall has pressure and shear stress on work piece. The greater the viscosity and velocity is, the greater the wall pressure and shear stress is. So it is helpful to make material removal on work piece surface. But the greater the viscosity is, the greater the velocity attenuation of abrasive particle is. Abrasive particle mainly move along the flow direction with the movement of fluid. The velocity attenuation of larger diameter abrasive particle is much than the smaller particle but the latter can maintain greater velocity in a longer distance favorable for collision with the work piece surface salient.

The erosion process of abrasive waterjet (AWJ) on target material is very complicated and a complete clear understanding about material removal mechanisms in AWJ machining has not been obtained. In this paper, an experiment study on AWJ machining mechanisms of brittle materials is introduced so as to understand the actions of water jet and abrasive particle in material removal process and some experiment evidences of the change of material removal mechanisms have been obtained.

A model is proposed that describes the forming processes of metal volume removed from the product surface during processing with a free abrasive flow, taking into account the random nature of abrasive particle impact on the surface and the possibility of implementing acts of elastic and plastic displacement of material or micro-cutting.
