Plastic optical components and lenses produced in mass quantities are usually manufactured using high-precision plastic injection technology. For that, high-precision plastic moulds with aluminium optical inserts made with extremely high dimension accuracy and high optical surface quality are used. Ultra-high precision single-point diamond turning have been successfully used in shaping optical mould inserts from various aluminium grades such as traditional 6061. However, extreme care should be taking when selecting machining parameters in order to produce optically valid surfaces before premature tool wear takes place especially when the machined optical materials has inadequate machining database. The current experimental study looks at the effect of cutting conditions on optical surfaces made from aluminium. The study embarks on helping establish some diamond machining database that helps engineers select the most favourable cutting parameters. The papers reports on the accuracy and surface finish quality received on an optical surface made on mould inserts from a newly developed aluminium alloy. Rapidly solidified aluminium (RSA) grades have been developed recently to address the various problems encountered when being cut by single-point diamond turning operation. The material is characterised by its extremely fine grained microstructure which helps extend the tool life and produce optical surfaces with nanometric surface finish. It is found the RSA grades can be successfully used to replace traditional optical aluminium grades when making optical surfaces. Surface finishes of as low as 10 nanometres and form accuracy of less than one micron can be achieved on RSA.

Abstract The desire for quality infrared lens with better surface finish has brought about the usage of brittle materials like germanium to be machined via a single point diamond turning machining process. However, achieving the required surface finish is complex if special machining techniques and approaches are not employed. In this paper, the effect of two different tool nose radius parameters on surface roughness of single point diamond turned germanium workpiece were studied and analyzed. The machining parameters selected for this experiment were feed, speed and depth of cut. Box-Behnken design was adopted to optimally create a combination of cutting parameters. Measurement of surface roughness after each run in both experiments was achieved using a Taylor Hobson PGI Dimension XL surface Profilometer. The resulting outcomes show that at most experimental runs, the surface roughness value decreased with an increase in nose radius. Mean absolute error was also used to compare the accuracy validation of the two models.

In multiple applications of advanced instrumentation, single-point diamond turning (SPDT) is a popular and effective process to generate novel surfaces with nanometric surface roughness and sub-micron surface irregularities, albeit at a high cost. In SPDT, precision diamond tooling contributes significantly to the process cost escalation. Hence, for SPDT, it is vital to have an optimal precision diamond tool deployment. In this article, details of comprehensive precision diamond tool selection and tool characterization are discussed. Three makes of selected ultra-precision diamond (UPD) tools and standard diamond tools (of a global make), designated as CFT, are considered for this study. In this tool bench-marking exercise, the fabrication of Cu–Be alloy predesigned precision components (PDPCs) of a critical geometry is selected. UPD and CFT tools are deployed to fabricate (under similar machining-metrology conditions) the PDPCs. These diamond tools are evaluated in terms of the quality parameters (variation in radius of curvature, form error, and surface roughness) of the workpieces. Further, to explore the progressive wear of these tools, multiple machining cycles are conducted on these workpieces, and their quality parameters are analyzed. Thus, the precision diamond tools of three makes are benchmarked against the CFT tool. Based on the final outcome of this analysis, suitable recommendations are provided to precision diamond tool manufacturers to improve their product in terms of performance and optimized costs to meet the ever-growing tooling demands of the SPDT community.

The prediction model is utilized to analyze the influences of feed, cutting speed and depth of cut on the surface roughness and cutting force. And the optimal cutting parameters of KDP crystal on such condition are acquired by optimum design. The optimum estimated values of surface roughness and cutting force are 7.369nm and 0.15N, respectively .Using the optimal cutting parameters, the surface roughness Ra, 7.927nm, and cutting force, 0.19N, are obatained.

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) is a recently developed ceramic material with many merits such as low manufacturing temperature, dense structure, high purity and low cost. In the present paper, the precision machinability of RB-SiC was studied by microindentation and single-point diamond turning (SPDT) tests. The influence of depth of cut and tool feed rate on surface roughness and cutting force was investigated. Results showed that there was no clear ductile-brittle transition in machining behavior. The material removal mechanism involves falling of the SiC grains and intergranular microfractures of the bonding silicon, which prevents from large-scale cleavage fractures. The minimum surface roughness depends on the initial material microstructure in terms of sizes of the SiC grains and micro pores. This work preliminarily indicates that SPDT can be used as a high-efficiency machining process for RB-SiC.

High Speed Machining

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter tools are used to achieve high rpm to facilitate the application of low values of feed and depths of cut to investigate better surface finish in high speed machining of Inconel 718. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in high speed end milling of Inconel 718. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. Machining were performed using CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) with a HES510 high speed machining attachment in which using a 4mm solid carbide fluted flat end mill tool. Wyko NT1100 optical profiler was used to measure the definite machined surface for obtaining the surface roughness data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to predict the surface roughness value with in the specified cutting conditions limit.

Ultrasonic vibration is applied to diamond turning of special stainless steel to decrease diamond tool wear and improve the surface quality of the workpieces. It reviews the principle of diamond turning of special stainless steel by applying ultrasonic vibration combined with gas shield. Compared with the ordinary machining method, cutting temperature and cutting force are greatly reduced when machining by application of ultrasonic vibration, and the appetency between a diamond tool and Ferrous atom of a workpiece is also minimized as gas shield application. The Experiments of cutting special stainless steel workpieces show that the surface roughness Ra is less than 0.15μm and flank wear-width is less than 5μm when cutting distance is up to 2000m. It takes research on the effect of cutting parameters to surface roughness and tool wear. The experiment result shows that the amplitude is the most important factor which effects tool wear and surface roughness most.

Single-point diamond turning is a technique of ultra-high precision machining that provides excellent quality of surface for mirrors, spherical and aspherical components. In SPDT just like other machining processes, cutting fluid plays an important role in metal removal and tool condition which largely influence the surface of diamond turned surface. In this paper, the surface roughness of diamond turned RSA 431 was studied by investigating the effect of kerosene mist and water as cutting fluids. Higher order response surface of Box-Behnken design was generated using fewer runs than a normal factorial technique. The cutting parameters that were varied for both experiments were depth of cut, feed and, speed. Taylor Hobson PGI Dimension XL surface Profilometer was used to measure the surface roughness after each experimental run. The results show that water when used as cutting fluid during machining, produces better surface roughness than kerosene mist. Predictive models for surface roughness were developed for each experiment. Values from the Mean Absolute Percent Error (MAPE) was used to evaluate and compare the two models to determine the accuracy. RSM also proved to be a better methodology of predicting surface roughness.
