Poly-crystalline diamond (PCD) is an extremely tough, synthetically produced cutting tool material, which offers outstanding capabilities concerning wear behavior in abrasive cutting environments. Currently, the primary application of PCD cutting tools is the machining of non-ferrous materials, as the diamond’s carbon high affinity towards iron causes diffusion effects while cutting steel with rising temperature. This effect significantly reduces tool life. To lower the occurring temperature of the cutting process, and therefore avoid the reaction of carbon and iron, a thermal functionalization of the cutting inserts has been investigated. The results give insight into making PCD cutting tools economically usable for the machining of iron-carbon materials.

ABSTRACTThin C films deposited from a CH4/Ar plasma on Si substrates kept at 20C are shown to be semiconducting. The semiconducting properties are associated with the poly-crystalline diamond grains present within the films. Diode type I-V characteristics observed from AVC/Si verticle structures are explained by the action of a C-Si heterojunction. A band gap of 2eV, a resistivity of 106Ω.cm and an electrical breakdown strength of 5.106 V/cm are estimated for the C.

Brittle and hard materials are problematic to mechanically micro machine due to damage resulting from material removal by brittle fracture, cutting force-induced tool deflection or breakage and tool wear. As a result, the forces arising from the cutting process are important parameter for material removal. This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cutting conditions on cutting forces and the machined surface during the glass micro grinding using on-machine fabricated (Poly Crystalline Diamond) PCD tool. Experimental results showed that an increase in depth of cut and feed rate can result in increase of cutting forces and surface roughness as well. Among the forces in 3 axes, force along feed direction is found to be larger, which played a major role in material removal. Finally, it is observed that PCD tool exhibits promising behaviour to machine brittle material like BK-7 glass for producing micro molds and micro fluidic devices, since it has better wear resistance, experiences less cutting forces and generates smooth surfaces with Ra value of as low as 12.79 nm.

The importance of using silicon aluminum alloys - with composite structure, on large scale, in the production of vehicle parts (in automotive industry like: pistons, cylinder heads, cylinders, water pumps body, stirrups, etc.), is very high, when it comes to industrial purposes. One of the most used methods of processing by cutting with production tools with the working part of made of poly-crystalline diamond is turning, thus, systemic analysis is necessary to study the dynamics of the process. The paper presents results of experimental research regarding the roughness resulting in the process of turning "ATSi12CuMgNi" alloys using poly-crystalline diamond tools, in order to determine all the parameters involved in the mathematical modelling of roughness, the importance of this parameters from quantitative and intrinsic point of view, and the evaluation of resulted roughness based on experimental results, in order to improving the machinability of silicon aluminum alloys.

Micro V-groove cutting of cobalt-free tungsten carbide using two types of V-shaped diamond tools is performed using mist of zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphate (ZnDDP) as lubricant. The two types of tool tested are 1) mono-crystalline diamond and 2) poly-crystalline diamond made of approximately 30 nm-sized diamond crystals. The geometry of the V-groove-cutting process is theoretically investigated and the relationship between V-groove angle, original rake angle, and effective rake angle is clarified. Through the cutting experiments, the effects of diamond types and rake angle on tool-wear characteristics are explained. When rake angle is set at zero degrees, tool chipping frequently occurs for both types of diamond tools even when ZnDDP is supplied. However, when rake angle is set at -30 degrees for poly-crystalline diamond, tool wear is minimized.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a high-strength and high-elastic-modulus composite material that is hardened by impregning carbon fiber with epoxy resin. Although, many sutdies of hole drilling of CFRP have been conducted, few sutdies of face milling of CFRP have been carried out. Face milling is necessary for surfaceing of aerospace parts, which is indispensable for airplane construction. Machining of CFRP is difficult because of the extreme tool wear and delamination that occur. The authors investigated face milling of CFRP using a newly developed Poly Crystalline Diamond (PCD) tool. The resultts show, that the cutting force and surface roughness are affected by the fiber orientation of the CFRP, and that delamination can easily occur in the outer layer of face-nilled CFRP.

The present work has been undertaken to study the tool wear behavior of poly crystalline diamond (PCD) inserts during the machining of Al-SiC – MMC; Al-Si alloy containing 15%wt of SiC was used for machining and PCD inserts of three different grades were used as cutting tools. The main aim of this paper is to explore the feasibility of machining conditions by setting the spindle speed, depth of cut and thereby determining the cutting force, surface roughness, power consumed, material removal rate and tool wear. The worn surface of the insert was examined by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). The influence of cut was examined for the PCD inserts.
