A novel diamond fibers cutter was proposed in this paper for machining of advanced materials. The fibers cutter was prepared by artificially distributing and orientating a large number of diamond fibers, which were prepared by cutting polycrystalline diamond into size of 0.4mm*0.6mm*10mm using Nd:YAG laser, and then lapped on a lapping machine to form sharpened cutting edges. To investigate the machining mechanism of the diamond fibers cutter, an experiment on machining of aluminum alloy reinforced by SiC particles and nano-structured WC/Co coating was conducted in this paper. Based on the surface observation and the cutting force analysis, it could be found that the diamond fibers cutter combined the advantages of conventional wheels and cutting tools, and was fit for machining of both brittle materials and soft materials.

Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) cutters are the most extensively used tool for rock drilling in superdeep oil and gas exploration, in which the air drilling technology without drilling fluid is highly promoted. This study examined the performance of PDC cutters in air drilling, including their friction angle, cutting force, specific energy, and wear behaviors, using a home-made testing apparatus and a commercial tribometer. It also investigated the dependence of cutting force on cutting depth and back rake angle. Results obtained in both dry conditions and in drilling fluid media were compared, and a tentative explanation to the observed differences was brought about by these two environments.

In this study, the tool performance of two types of binderless diamond tools – single-crystal diamond (SCD) and nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD) – is investigated in the high-speed cutting of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with a water-soluble coolant. The NPD tool allows for a larger cutting force than the SCD tool by dulling of the cutting edge, despite NPD being harder than SCD. This large cutting force and the very low thermal conductivity of NPD yield a high cutting temperature above 500°C, which promotes the adhesion of the workpiece to the tool face, thereby increasing tool wear. Based on the morphology of the tool edge without scratch marks and the elemental analysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) of both the flank face and the cutting chips, diffusion-dissolution wear is determined to be the dominant mechanism in the diamond tool. A thin TiC layer seems to be formed in the boundary between the diamond tool and the titanium alloy at high temperatures; this is removed by the cutting chips.

Metallic degradable biomaterials have attracted a huge attention lately for orthopedic fixation applications. Binary magnesium and calcium (Mg-Ca) alloys have emerged as a promising choice in terms of biocompatibility to avoid stress shielding and provide sufficient mechanical strength. In this paper, efficient and ecologic machining of a lab-made Mg-Ca alloy with 0.8 wt% calcium, cutting speeds of up to 47 m/s, and without coolant are investigated. Polycrystalline diamond inserts are applied and the possibilities of flank built-up formation, chip ignition, and tool wear are sought during the cutting experiments with the aid of a developed on-line, optical monitoring system. Chip morphology characteristics produced by different combinations of cutting parameters, i.e. cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut are studied.

Cutting force coefficients were conventionally described as the power function of instantaneous uncut chip thickness. However, it was found that the changes in the three controllable machining parameters (cutting speed, feed and axial cutting depth) could significantly affect the values of cutting coefficients. An improved cutting force model was developed in this article based on the experimental investigation of end milling titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) with polycrystalline diamond tools. The relationships between machining parameters and cutting force are established based on the introduction of the new cutting coefficients. By integrating the effects of varying cutting parameters in the prediction model, cutting forces and the fluctuation of cutting force in each milling cycle were calculated. Validation experiments show that the predicted peak values of cutting forces highly match the experimental results; the accuracy of the model is up to 90% in predicting instantaneous cutting forces.

Vibration-assisted cutting (VAC) with polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tool refers to the cutting with certain amplitude and high frequency tool vibration, which can definitely reduce the cutting force and tool wear compared with conventional cutting (CC). In this paper, a plane strain orthogonal model for PCD tool cutting steel AISI 1045 is established by using the finite element software ABAQUS/explicit. Then the cutting force of VAC compared with CC is explained. The value and distribution of cutting force at different depths of cutting is analyzed. It is also studied the effects of vibration frequency and amplitude on cutting force and thrust force during the ultra-precision cutting process. Afterwards, optimum selection of process parameters is presented for VAC processing of steel AISI 1045.
