The formation of tool marks in single-point diamond turning is a fundamental study of the effect of materials swelling and recovery on surface roughness on a machined surface. A series of orthogonal face cutting tests has been conducted among plate aluminum alloy, oxygen-free high conductivity copper and electroless nickel phosphorus under the same cutting conditions by the use of facet tools with different front clearance angles. The results show that the regular width of the undulating pattern in tool marks could be explained by side swelling and the micro-waviness within a tool mark is caused by burnishing and recovery.

This paper presents a technique for processing Terahertz radar reflector by SPDT (Single Point Diamond Turning) based on LODTM (Large Optics Diamond Turning Machine). This technique applies single crystal diamond cutting tools for ultra-precision machining, and thus could obtain high-precision optical mirror, which could be used as the Terahertz radar reflectors. An experiment for aluminum sample had been done to demonstrate the availability of the technique, and a pair of Terahertz radar reflectors were obtained. The precision of the reflectors, detected through precision coordinate measuring technology, was better than the designed requirement. The experiment results showed that Terahertz radar reflectors generated by deterministic ultra-precision machining technique based on LODTM would have advantages in figure accuracy and roughness and so on, which could be helpful to improve the precision and low the cost of Terahertz radar system.

This paper presents an optical probe employed for edge contour measurement of single point diamond cutting tools. The laser beam from a laser diode (LD) is focused by an objective lens to form a small light spot with a radius of approximately 20 μm, and is then received by a photodiode (PD) after passed through the focal point of the objective lens. The cutting edge of the tool, which is placed on a line with the LD and the PD, is inserted into the laser beam section. At an each X-position, the output of the PD is recorded while the light spot is moved along the Z-direction, scanning across the cutting edge of the tool with its rake face aligned in the XZ plane. The Z-position of the cutting edge is evaluated by determining a specific value from the obtained outputs of the PD. The edge contour of the diamond cutting tool can thus be measured by repeating the Z-scanning at different X-positions. Computer simulation was carried out to investigate the influences of error factors on the evaluation of the cutting edge. Experiments were also carried out to measure a round nose of a tool with nominal nose radius of 2 mm.

In this study, single point diamond turning (SPDT) is coupled with the micro-laser assisted machining (μ-LAM) technique. The μ-LAM system is used to preferentially heat and thermally soften the work piece material in contact with a diamond cutting tool. In μ-LAM the laser and cutting tool are integrated into a single package, i.e. the laser energy is delivered by a single mode fiber laser to and through a diamond cutting tool. This hybrid method can potentially increase the critical depth of cut (DoC), i.e., a larger ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) depth, in ductile regime machining, resulting in a higher material removal rate (MRR). An IR continuous wave (CW) fiber laser, wavelength of 1064nm and max power of 100W with a beam diameter of 10μm, is used in this investigation. In the current study SPDT tests were employed on single crystal silicon (Si) wafer which is very brittle and hard to machine by conventional methods. Different outputs such as surface roughness and depth of cut for different set of experiments were analyzed. Results show that an unpolished surface of a Si wafer can be machined in one pass to get a very good surface finish. The Ra was brought down from 1.2μm to 275nm only in one pass which is a very promising result for machining the Si wafer.
