Pd40Ni10Cu30P20 bulk metallic glass (BMG) is widely used in industrial fields due to its excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability. However, the lack of research on the machinability and cutting performance of BMG using single-point diamond turning (SPDT) limits its application for engineering manufacturing. In the present research, a series of turning experiments were carried out under different cutting parameters, and the machinability reflected by the quality of machined surface, chip morphology, and tool wear were analyzed. Based on the oxidation phenomenon of the machined surface, a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was conducted to study the mechanism and suppression of the machined surface oxidation during the cutting. The results show that: (1) The Pd-based BMG had good machinability, where the machined surface roughness could go down to 3 nm; (2) irregular micro/nanostructures were found along the tool path on the outer circular region of the machined surface, which greatly affected the surface roughness; and (3) the cutting heat softened the workpiece material and flattened the tool marks under surface tension, which improved the surface quality. This research provides important theoretical and technical support for the application of BMG in optical mold manufacturing.

Material Swelling

The swelling effect is an important factor to affect surface generation in SPDT. Face cutting experiments are conducted for copper, aluminum alloy and electroless nickel phosphorus to analyze the swelling effect including the relationship between it and cutting parameters as well as effect of material property. How the material swelling affects surface roughness is also studied in this paper. The results indicate that the swelling effect is influenced by spindle speed and material property more remarkably when compared to feed rate and depth of cut. In addition, a softer and more ductile material will lead to a stronger material recovery, a lower swelling proportion, a lower tool mark height and a smoother machined surface. The result reveals that the swelling effect must be considered when predicting surface roughness in SPDT

Single-point diamond turning (SPDT) assisted with slow tool servo (STS) is the most commonly utilized technique in the fabrication of optical modules. However, the tool path significantly affects the quality of the machined surface. In order to realize the determined machining accuracy effectively, a tool path generation (TPG) method based on machining accuracy active control (MAAC) is presented. The relationship between tool path and machining error is studied. Corner radius compensation (CRC) and the calculation of chord error and residual error are detailed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified through a machining error simulation and a cutting experiment of a complex sinusoidal mesh surface fabrication.

This research aims to establish a methodology for machining of toric lenses, using fast tool servo-assisted single point diamond turning and to assess the generated surface for its characteristics. Using the established mathematical model, toric surface is explained to understand the geometry and to generate the parameters required for fast tool servo machining. A toric surface with a major diameter of 18.93 mm and a minor diameter of 15.12 mm has been cut on the intelligent ultra-precision turning machine (iUPTM). The surface profile and surface roughness were measured. After analysing the measurement data of the machined surface, on two perpendicular axes of the toric lens, form accuracy of 0.49 µm peak-to-valley (PV), and surface roughness of 12 nm in Ra, 4–8 nm in Sa are obtained. From the experimental results obtained, it can be concluded that the proposed method is a reasonable alternative for manufacturing toric lens mould.

Substitute Materials

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) is an amorphous alloy. Thus, it does not have anisotropy and material defect due to its irregular atomic configuration. In addition, it has excellent mechanical properties. For these reasons, the BMG is expected to be substitute materials in various fields. Until now, a number of studies focusing on precise forming have been carried out. However, if the part geometries are complex, controls of the temperature and wettability are difficult. Therefore, single point diamond cutting of the BMG is needed to produce fine surfaces. However, only a few studies on the single point diamond cutting for the BMG have been reported. Thus, appropriate single point diamond cutting technique of the BMG is not established yet. Therefore, single point diamond turning of Zr-based bulk metallic glass was conducted. In the paper, the influences of the depth of cut, feed rate and cutting atmosphere on the chip generation and finished surfaces are investigated. Visualization of the cutting chip generation with different cutting conditions was made with a high-speed camera. The influences of the cutting conditions on the finished surface are considered based on the observation and the measurement of chip and machined surfaces.

This paper presents a multi-spectrum analysis method for the characterization of the surface generation in single-point turning of brittle single crystals. The features on the diamond turned surfaces were extracted and analysed by the power spectrum analysis of the surface roughness profiles measured at a number radial sections of the workpiece. By the analysis of the variation of the spectral patterns in the multi-spectrum plots, the surface roughness and materials effect on surface generation are found to be strongly related to the power spectrum. This provides an important means to explain quantitatively the effect of factors affecting the surface generation in diamond turning brittle crystals.

Single-point diamond turning (SPDT) is an emerging process for achieving nanometric surface finish, required in various optical devices made from metals like aluminum, copper, and nonmetals like polymers. The optical devices are manufactured in different shapes and profiles, preferably flat and curved surfaces. During the manufacturing of optical devices, controllable and noncontrollable parameters affect the desired surface finish. In this article, controllable machining parameters such as the incremental distance of X slide, feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut are selected to study their effect on surface finish and vibration generation of the curved surface. The chosen workpiece material is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Design of experiment (DoE) is used to find out the optimum parameters of surface finish and infeed vibration responses. According to the Taguchi and analysis of Variance (ANOVA) analysis, the feed rate is the most influencing parameter for surface roughness, and incremental distance is for infeed vibration. A confirmation test is carried out to verify the experimental responses with a mathematical regression model, and it shows a close difference within 2.7 percent. Further, minimum surface roughness is perceived as 12.4 nm, corresponding to an infeed vibration amplitude of 4.9 µm/s2, which is signified at a lower frequency.

There is a difference in machining by the cutting tool with defined geometry and undefined geometry. That is one of the reasons of implementation of hard turning into the machining process. In current manufacturing processes is hard turning many times used as a fine finish operation. It has many advantages – machining by single point cutting tool, high productivity, flexibility, ability to produce parts with complex shapes at one clamping. Very important is to solve machined surface quality. There is a possibility to use wiper geometry in hard turning process to achieve 3 – 4 times lower surface roughness values. Cutting parameters influence cutting process as well as cutting tool geometry. It is necessary to take into consideration cutting force components as well. Issue of the use of wiper geometry has been still insufficiently researched.

The micro machinability of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass (BMG) was investigated by micro milling with coated cemented carbide tools. The corresponding micro milling tests on Al6061 were conducted for comparison. The results showed that the tool was still in stable wear stage after milling 300 mm, and the surface roughness Ra could be maintained around 0.06 μm. The tool experienced only slight chipping and rubbing wear after milling the BMG, while a built-up edge and the coating peeling off occurred severely when milling Al6061. The influence of rotation speed on surface roughness was insignificant, while surface roughness decreased with the reduction of feed rate, and then increased dramatically when the feed rate was below 2 μm/tooth. The surface roughness increased gradually with the axial depth of cut (DOC). Milling force decreased slightly with the increase in rotation speed, while it increased with the increase in axial DOC, and the size effect on milling force occurred when the feed rate decreased below 1 μm/tooth. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that all milled surfaces were still dominated by an amorphous structure. This study could pave a solid foundation for structural and functional applications.
