This study describes a novel process to drill small holes in brittle materials such as glass, silicon and ceramic using a self-elastic polycrystalline diamond (PCD) drilling tool. In order to improve the surface roughness and reduce crack of the small holes, a new type of self-elastic PCD drilling tool equipped with vibration absorbing materials inside the housing was developed to fabricate small holes in glass in this study. The self-elastic PCD drilling tools could absorb the mechanical force by the vibration absorbing materials while the PCD tool penetrates into the small holes. Compared to conventional PCD drilling tools, the experimental results show that high-quality small holes drilled in glass can be achieved with cracking as small as 0.02mm on the outlet surface using the self-elastic PCD drilling tool.

A truing technique that can be used to shape the tip of an electroformed diamond tool into a hemisphere and flatten diamond grains on the tool working surface at the same level as the bond face was developed. A polycrystalline diamond disk whose top surface roughened by electrical discharge machining was partially flattened by grinding was used as a truer. Diamond grains on the tool working surface were successfully flattened along the hemispherical tool profile when the grains mesh size of #1000 was employed. In addition, a grinding test using glasslike carbon as a work material revealed that a surface roughness of less than 50 nm Rz could be obtained in both cases when moving the tool on contour and scanning paths.

The use of hard and brittle materials for manufacturing optical parts, such as dies and molds are required in order to extend mold life. Although, cobalt-free tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials, micro-cutting is very difficult due to its hardness and its brittleness. This paper investigates face turning of cobalt-free tungsten carbide using a nanopolycrystalline diamond [NPD] tool and Zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZnDTP) fluid. Surface roughness of the cobalt-free tungsten carbide achieved was 22nmRz, which is far larger than the theoretical value. That is, traditional cutting theory does not directly apply for face turning of cobalt-free tungsten carbide using NPD tool and ZnDTP fluid.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the grinding performance of two types of cobalt and vitrified bond diamond tools produced by the hot press for the vertical flat grinding polycrystalline diamond. The worn diamond type and the diamond protrusion observed by the toolmaker or SEM after grinding under two different feed rates of 1 and 5 mm/min and the depth of cut of 2 µm with total depth of 10µm were studied. In addition, the grinding efficiency and the workpiece surface roughness produced were analyzed as well. The experiment results showed that when the feed rate of 1 mm/min during the flat grinding PCD was used, a lower percentage of the good diamond, a higher percentage of flat diamond and pulled-out hole on the worn surface of the cobalt bond diamond tool were obtained. For the vitrified bond diamond tool, the good diamond produced showed a higher percentage and flat grit and pulled-out hole displayed a relatively lower percentage. This may be due to the result of the relatively moderate strength and grit retention of the vitrified bond. Furthermore, the diamond protrusion and the grinding efficiency produced for the vitrified bond diamond tool were better than those for the cobalt bond tool. And the PCD surface roughness obtained was better as well.

Because of multiple properties like higher values of corrosion resistance, formability, weldability along with greater structural utility aluminum alloys are generally gaining more and more demand in industries and household. With this the requirement for searching of higher quality cutting tool to machine aluminum is also growing. Here different cutting tools like MTCVD+TiCN+Al2O3 , MTCVD+TiCN+Al2O3+TiOCN, MTCVD+TiN+TiCN+Al2O3+TiN, PVD AlTiN, cemented carbide (k-10) insert brazed with Polycrystalline Diamond and Polycrystalline Diamond Inserts are being used to machine rolled aluminum in dry condition and then comparative analysis are made. The cutting is of orthogonal type and capstan lathe is used for the same. Under different conditions of cutting the surface roughness along with morphology of chip are analyzed. Under constant depth of cut (doc) along with variable velocities and feed, the turning operation is performed. With SEM and XRD the identification including characterization of cutting tool were also performed. The polycrystalline diamond tool is found to give optimum surface finish, thin type of chip along with mirror like finish during machining operation.
