The ultra–precision cutting of steel materials is possible but needs modifications of machine tools or the workpiece material. One approach of actual research is the development of cutting materials that gives the opportunity for direct cutting of surfaces with ultra–precision quality. Binderless–cBN is here one of the most promising materials. The paper shows results of experimental studies with binderless–cBN as cutting material while turning stainless steel. Various investigations were carried out to determine the wear mechanisms. Furthermore, measurements are shown regarding the surface quality.

Nowadays manufacturing industry faces increasing demands to customize products according to personal needs. This trend leads to a proliferation of complex product designs. To cope with this complexity, manufacturing systems are equipped with advanced sensing capabilities. However, traditional statistical process control methods are not concerned with the stream of in-process imaging data. Also, very little has been done to investigate nonlinearity, irregularity, and inhomogeneity in image stream collected from manufacturing processes. This paper presents the multifractal spectrum and lacunarity measures to characterize irregular and inhomogeneous patterns of image profiles, as well as detect the hidden dynamics of the underlying manufacturing process. Experimental studies show that the proposed method not only effectively characterizes the surface finishes for quality control of ultra-precision machining but also provides an effective model to link process parameters with fractal characteristics of in-process images acquired from additive manufacturing. This, in turn, will allow a swift response to processes changes and consequently reduce the number of defective products. The proposed fractal method has strong potentials to be applied for process monitoring and control in a variety of domains such as ultra-precision machining, additive manufacturing, and biomanufacturing.

Alloy 6061

The technology of ultra-precision machining with single crystal diamond tool produces advanced components with higher dimensional accuracy and better surface quality. The cutting-induced heat results in high temperature and stress at the chip-tool and tool-workpiece interfaces therefore affects the materials and the cutting tool as well as the surface quality. In the ultra-precision machining of al6061, the cutting-induced heat generates precipitates on the machined surface and those precipitates induce imperfections on the machined surface. This paper uses the time-temperature-precipitation characteristics of aluminum alloy 6061 (al6061) to investigate the effect of feed rate on the cutting-induced heat generation in ultra-precision multi-axis milling process. The effect of feed rate and feed direction on the generation of precipitates and surface roughness in ultra-precision raster milling (UPRM) is studied. Experimental results show that heat generation in horizontal cutting is less than that in vertical cutting and a larger feed rate generates more heat on the machined workpiece. A smaller feed rate produces a better surface finish and under a larger feed rate, scratch marks are produced by the generated precipitates and increase surface roughness.

Cesium Lithium Borate (CsLiB6O10 or CLBO) is the most effective non-linear crystal which generates ultraviolet harmonics of the Nd:YAG fundamental laser wavelength. In order to enhance the damage threshold, low CLBO surface roughness, by ultra-precision machining, is needed. Because the CLBO crystal has easy hydroscopic reaction and micro scratches in machining, ultra-precise machining of the CLBO crystal is a difficult technical problem. In this paper, the new lapping slurry and polishing slurry are introduced. And the deliquescence degree of CLBO is fallen to lowest. A new working technology is also adopted. After rough polishing, the concentration of ultra-precision polishing slurry is increased properly. So does the ultra-precision polishing speed, and the wiping speed is faster than the deliquescence speed. The CLBO crystal surface roughness can achieve 1nm and keep the surface quality well.

A new way of precision machining was studied through the experiments of Electrolytic In-Process Dressing (ELID) precision grinding and ultra precision lapping and polishing for W-Mo metal alloy. First a 22nm(Ra) surface was obtained through the ELID grinding, last a 11nm(Ra) surface was obtained after the process of lapping and polishing with 0.1～0.3 N/cm2pressure, 60～100 r/min rotational speed and other optimized parameters. Meanwhile, the formation mechanism of ultra precision mirror surface of the alloy was also analyzed. The experiments prove surface quality of the work piece was guaranteed by ELID grinding, and which was also greatly affected by some parameters in lapping and polishing such as pressure, rotational speed.

In the ultra-precision machining of KDP crystal, there are many factors affecting the surface quality[1-3]. The experiments show that the rake angle and back angle of the tool have significant effects on machined surface roughness. Therefore, an efficient way to improve the surface roughness is to select a proper negative rake angle. In this study, the ANSYS static analysis method was employed to analyze the stress field distribution within the whole cutting region. A finite element simulation model was set up to calculate the residual stresses variation with tool’s angles, which can be considered to select optimal rake and back angles in the ultra-precision machining of KDP crystal. Results show that the optimal tool rake angle and back angle are -49° and 7°, respectively. Finally, by using different tool angles to process KDP crystal and utilizing AFM to analyze the surface roughness, it can be found that the measurement results agree well with what are deduced from theoretical calculation.

Ultra-precision machines are widely used to turn aspherical profiles on mould inserts for the injection moulding of optical lenses. During turning of a profile on a stainless steel mould insert, the cutting speed reduces significantly to 0 as the cutting tool is fed towards the center of the machined profile. This paper reports on experiments carried out to study the wear of uncoated, PVD-coated and CVD-coated carbide tools in the ultra-precision machining of STAVAX (modified AISI 420 stainless steel) at low speeds.
