In this study, the main objective is to clarify the relationship between the material properties of the work material and the grooving properties for various work materials from hard and brittle materials to metallic materials. In this paper, in order to investigate the grinding characteristics of diamond electroplated wire tools, including the wear characteristics, we conducted grooving experiments with borosilicate glass (Pyrex), which is a kind of hard and brittle material, and aluminum alloy (A5052), and tough pitch copper (C1100), a kind of metallic material, using diamond electroplated wire tools in a work material rotation method. As a result of the grooving experiments, it was clarified that the grooving characteristics of the work materials were influenced by the hardness and brittle behavior of the materials. The groove depth is influenced by the hardness and brittleness behavior of the material. When machining hard materials, the groove depth increases slowly in the initial stage of machining due to the poor bite of the wire tool, but increases rapidly as the machining progresses. On the other hand, the groove width does not depend on the machining time or speed, but is influenced by the hardness of the material and the ease with which plastic deformation occurs. The wear of the wire tool is also influenced by the hardness and brittleness of the material. In the machining of hard materials, the wear caused by stray wire and vibration in the early stages of machining was significant. The grinding ratio calculated from the ratio of the groove depth to the amount of grinding has a very different trend for hard and brittle materials and metallic materials. In the machining of hard and brittle materials, the amount of machining increased rapidly as machining progressed, so the grinding ratio also increased, but in metallic materials, the amount of machining itself was small and the grinding ratio did not increase. For A5052, the grinding ratio tended to decrease as machining progressed. Future work In the future, it is necessary to clarify the machining conditions to reduce the wear caused by stray wire tools and vibration during the initial machining of hard materials.

A wire tool having electrodeposited diamond grains is frequently used for machining hard and brittle materials such as silicon ingots, magnetic materials, ceramics, and sapphires. This study aims to examine the wear characteristics of the tool during the microgrooving of ceramics. We conducted microgrooving experiments for alumina ceramics. The results indicate that the grooving time and the machining distance influence the groove depth. However, as the damage in a wire tool progresses, the groove depth does not depend on the machining distance. A fast relative velocity leads to serious damage in the wire tool even when the machining time is short. In the case of wet grooving, the damage to the wire tool was smaller than that in the case of dry grooving.

The manufacturing costs of semiconductor products such as silicon wafers can be reduced by decreasing the kerf loss. In addition, a decrease in the kerf loss leads to an effective utilization of rare materials, which is environmentally beneficial from the viewpoint of saving resources. This study aims to reduce the kerf loss during slicing hard and brittle materials. Therefore, the possibility of using an extremely thin metal foil blade instead of a wire tool in slicing was examined. Initially, grooving characteristics using a metal foil blade (thickness: 50 μm or less) was investigated. The main conclusions are that grooving with a metal foil blade is possible and kerf loss can be reduced. The groove depth tends to increase as the machining time and particle size of abrasives increase. The groove width is smaller when a thin metal foil blade is used and vice versa. However, if the abrasive particle size is too large, grooving becomes impossible. Since the wear of metal foil blade increases with an increase in the particle size of the abrasive, it is necessary to use an abrasive with a particle size that is suitable for the thickness of the metal foil blade.

An electroplated diamond wire tool is frequently used for the machining of hard and brittle materials such as silicon ingots, magnetic materials, ceramics, and sapphires. This study aims to examine the influence of brittle behavior of work materials on machinability (including tool wear); therefore, we conduct dynamic ultramicro hardness measurements and microgrooving experiments for three types of ceramics. The results indicate that the groove depth of a work material tends to increase with the processing time. Moreover, material properties of a work material, such as hardness and toughness, have a significant impact on the fluctuations in its groove depth. However, kerf width of a work material does not depend on the processing conditions and material properties. In addition, a faster relative velocity improves processing efficiency but also increases tool wear.

Multi-wire saws with a diamond electrodeposited wire tool are widely used to slice hard and brittle materials. The properties of the materials significantly affect the saw’s performance in terms of slicing quality, efficiency, and accuracy. In this study, the effects of the material properties of workpieces on wire tool performance and tool wear are described. The main conclusions are as follows: the higher the hardness and toughness of the workpiece material, the longer the slicing time and greater the damage to the wire tool. The brittleness of the workpiece adversely affects the thickness variation more than its hardness. In addition, the frequency of chipping mainly depends on the hardness of the workpiece, whereas the chipping size mainly depends on the toughness of the workpiece.

In this study, micro patterns were formed on the developed AlN-hBN composites using powder blasting techniques, which have been considered as one of the most appropriate micro machining methods for hard and brittle materials such as ceramics. To achieve the objective, first, material properties of the developed AlN-hBN composites were evaluated according to the variation of h-BN contents. And, a series of required experiments were performed, and the results were analyzed. As the results, it was investigated that the machiniability of the developed AlN-hBN composites increased with the increase of the h-BN contents in the composites. From the experimental results, it was possible to determine optimum blasting conditions for micro pattern making on the developed AlN-hBN composites.

Abstract Poly-crystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) is one of the hardest material. Generally, so hard materials could not be machined by conventional machining methods. Therefore, for this purpose, advanced machining methods have been designed. Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is included among them. RUM is based on abrasive removing mechanism of ultrasonic vibrating diamond particles, which are bonded on active part of rotating tool. It is suitable especially for machining hard and brittle materials (such as glass and ceramics). This contribution investigates this advanced machining method during machining of PCBN.

AbstractEspecially for slicing hard and brittle materials, wire sawing with electroplated diamond wires is widely used since it combines a high surface quality with a minimum kerf loss. Furthermore, it allows a high productivity by machining multiple workpieces simultaneously. During the machining operation, the wire/workpiece interaction and thus the material removal conditions with the resulting workpiece quality are determined by the material properties and the process and tool parameters. However, applied to machining of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP), the process complexity potentially increases due to the anisotropic material properties, the elastic spring back potential of the material, and the distinct mechanical wear due to the highly abrasive carbon fibres. Therefore, this experimental study analyses different combinations of influencing factors with respect to process forces, workpiece surface temperatures at the wire entrance, and the surface quality in wire sawing unidirectional CFRP material. As main influencing factors, the cutting and feed speeds, the density of diamond grains on the wire, the workpiece thickness, and the fibre orientation of the CFRP material are analysed and discussed. For the tested parameter settings, it is found that while the influence of the grain density is negligible, workpiece thickness, cutting and feed speeds affect the process substantially. In addition, higher process forces and workpiece surface temperatures do not necessarily deteriorate the surface quality.

Die schwingungsunterstützte Bearbeitung hat sich bereits bei der Zerspanung von hartspröden Werkstoffen mit einer einachsigen Schwingung in der Kontaktzone bewährt. Untersuchungen zu schwingungsunterstützten Bohrprozessen beschränken sich bisher auf eine Schwingungserzeugung, die entlang der Vorschubachse ausgerichtet ist. Für alternative Schwingungsrichtungen fehlt in erster Linie die geeignete Aktorik. In diesem Beitrag wird eine alternative Methode zur Erzeugung einer axial-tangentialen Schwingung in der Kontaktzone untersucht.   Ultrasonic assisted machining with uniaxial vibration is a well-proven process for machining hard and brittle materials. Existing investigations of vibration assisted drilling and boring processes so far are limited to an oscillation along the feed axis, which primarily due to nonexistent actuators. This contribution will present investigations into an alternative method for creating axial-tangential vibrations in the tool contact zone.
