A study was carried out to investigate effects of crystallographic structure on the machining performance with polycrystalline oxygen free copper (OFC) using a single crystalline diamond (SCD) micro-tool. The SCD micro-tool used in this study fabricated with a focused ion beam (FIB) has a cutting length of around 30 µm on the primary clearance face. It was found that a change in crystallographic orientation resulted in a variation in machining force, chip thickness and shear angle, leading to a change in machined surface integrity. When a micro-size tool traverses within a grain at a machining direction aligned with a particular crystallographic orientation, the work material in front of the machining tool is found to be severely deformed. If the orientation changes to a less favorable orientation, this may lead to a much reduced shear angle, a thicker chip, striation at the chip back, higher machining forces and a degraded machined surface. This study contributes to the understanding of the physics of micro scale mechanical machining (micro-machining).

The helium focused ion beam (He-FIB) is widely used in the field of nanostructure fabrication due to its high resolution. Complicated forms of processing damage induced by He-FIB can be observed in substrates, and these damages have a severe impact on nanostructure processing. This study experimentally investigated the influence of the beam energy and ion dose of He-FIB on processing damage. Based on the experimental results, a prediction function for the amorphous damage profile of the single-crystalline silicon substrate caused by incident He-FIB was proposed, and a method for calculating the amorphous damage profile by inputting ion dose and beam energy was established. Based on one set of the amorphous damage profiles, the function coefficients were determined using a genetic algorithm. Experiments on single-crystalline silicon scanned by He-FIB under different process parameters were carried out to validate the model. The proposed experiment-based model can accurately predict the amorphous damage profile induced by He-FIB under a wide range of different ion doses and beam energies.

ABSTRACTWe studied the effects of phosphorus (P) on Ni nanocrystalline morphology formed by focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation for Ni-P amorphous alloy thin films. The P content in the amorphous alloy was varied from 8 to 12 wt.%. The nanocrystals induced by the FIB irradiation for Ni-11.8, 8.9, 7.9 wt.% amorphous alloy had an f.c.c. structure and showed unique crystallographic orientation relationships to the geometry of the focused ion beam, that is, {111}f.c.c. parallel to the irradiated plane and <110>f.c.c. parallel to the projected ion beam direction, respectively. The Ni nanocrystals precipitated like aggregates with decreasing of the P content. These results represent that the P content does not affect crystallographic orientation relationships, while influences the precipitation distribution of Ni nanocrystals generated by the FIB irradiation.

A focused ion beam (FIB) is an effective means of fabricating micro-to submicro-scale shapes on diamond cutting tools. However, ion irradiation of diamond tools causes ion implantation, defects, and non-diamond phases, all of which degrade the tool performance. To remove affected layers from FIB-irradiated diamond tools, heat treatment in air was applied, and the effect of the heating parameters on the etchability of the irradiated area was investigated. It was found that the affected layer could be etched and removed from the diamond tool surface, even at 500 °C. In machining experiments on aluminum alloy and nickel phosphorus, machining performance was improved by the applied heating technique, and the cutting forces and machined surfaces were similar to those obtained with the non-irradiated tool. These results indicate that the proposed heating technique is effective for diamond cutting tools shaped by FIB.

Magnesium alloys have received considerable attention because of their lightweight and recyclability. AM-series and AZ-series Mg-Al alloys have been used for industrial products widely, particularly for AM-series alloys because of better toughness and impact absorption properties than AZ-series alloys. The Mg17Al12intermetallic compound is the only precipitate formed during ageing after the solution heart treatment. Discontinuous precipitates exist in grain boundary randomly, and continuous precipitates exist in the matrix. However, there is few report about the orientation relationship between the discontinuous precipitates and the matrix. The purpose of this study is to investigate the orientation relationship between the discontinuous precipitates and the matrix of AM-series magnesium alloys. Hardness measurement, SEM observation, the electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques were preformed in order to understand the relationship between the discontinuous precipitate and crystallographic orientation of grains in AM-series magnesium alloy. TEM samples with discontinuous precipitates were prepared using the focused ion beam (FIB). And TEM observation was performed to investigate the discontinuous precipitates and crystallographic orientation in the matrix.
