This investigation aims to develop a quantitative model to estimate the material removal of polycrystalline diamond composites by dynamic friction polishing. The model accounts for not only the polishing parameters that govern the material removal mechanisms, but also the constitutive properties of the diamond composites subjected to polishing. The model prediction was justified by relevant experimental measurements.

This paper presents a cost-effective technique for achieving optical surface finish of thermally stable polycrystalline diamond (PCD) composites using dynamic friction polishing (DFP). The effect of polishing parameters on the material removal rate and surface characteristics of polished specimens were studied. The surface characterisation was carried out by optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and its attached energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. It was found that optical surface finish of PCD with roughness Ra = 50 nm could be obtained efficiently with nearly a ten fold reduction in polishing time compared to the currently used method in industry.

This article reviews the state-of-the-art techniques for polishing diamond and polycrystalline diamond composites. A focus is on their material removal mechanisms and features. It concludes that while each of them has its advantages and drawbacks, the technique by dynamic friction has a promising potential for polishing production.

With the aid of the Raman spectroscopy, this paper investigates the phase transformation and residual stress distribution in surfaces of polycrystalline diamond composites polished by dynamic friction technique. To clarify the contribution of phase transformations to residual stresses, the study focused on the surface which was incompletely polished such that the transformed phases remained. It was found that amorphous non-diamond carbon and amorphous graphite phase appeared in grain boundaries, but pristine diamond phase was predominant within gain areas. The residual stresses vary across the polished surfaces and the maximum stress locates at the grain boundaries.
