Hard And Brittle Materials

Single-phase (binder-less) nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD) has been synthesized by direct conversion sintering from graphite under high pressure and high temperature. NPD is characterized by extremely high hardness compared with single crystal diamond (SCD), even at high temperature. In addition, NPD has high wear resistance, no anisotropic mechanical properties, no cleavages, and high thermal stability. These characteristics suggest that NPD has high potential for use in precision cutting tools for various hard works. In order to evaluate the cutting performance of NPD, cutting tests for various cemented carbides were conducted under various conditions and the results compared with those of single crystal diamond (SCD) and conventional polycrystalline diamond containing metal binder (PCD). The results revealed that NPD has outstanding potential for precision cutting and processing of diverse hard and brittle materials.

Texturing on the surface of cutting tools is an effective method to improve the friction and resultant machining performances of the tool. In this study, to fabricate nanotextures on various tools used for precision cutting, a patterning method on nanopolycrystalline diamond and cubic boron nitride tools was investigated using focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation and heat treatment. Patterning was possible using this method, and the patterning characteristics were different from those of single-crystal diamond. This method was more suitable for cutting tools compared with direct FIB machining because of its high efficiency and significantly low affected layer.

Polycrystalline Diamond Compact

AbstractDiamond is the hardest naturally occurring material found on earth but single crystal diamond is brittle due to the nature of catastrophic cleavage fracture. Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) materials are made by high pressure and high temperature (HPHT) technology. PDC materials have been widely used in several industries. Wear resistance is a key material property that has long been pursued for its valuable industrial applications. However, the inevitable use of catalysts introduced by the conventional manufacturing process significantly reduces their end-use performance and limits many of their potential applications. In this work, an ultra-strong catalyst-free polycrystalline diamond compact material has been successfully synthesized through innovative ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature (UHPHT) technology. These results set up new industry records for wear resistance and thermal stability for PDC cutters utilized for drilling in the oil and gas industry. The new material also broke all single-crystal diamond indenters, suggesting that the new material is too hard to be measured by the current standard single-crystal diamond indentation method. This represents a major breakthrough in hard materials that can expand many potential scientific research and industrial applications.

Pcd Tools

The polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is made of sintered diamond fine powder with binder material, and shows clear isotropic characteristics and high toughness without frequent cleavage. As the PCD cutting tools require relatively low tool cost compared with single crystal diamond tools, they have wide applications as the precision cutting tools with the high abrasion resistance. The more sharp or complex shapes of PCD cutting tool are deeply expected even though they have the machining difficulties. In this study, the ultraviolet-irradiation polishing of single crystal diamond substrates developed in our laboratory (abbreviated as UV-polishing in this paper) was applied to realize advanced PCD tools with ultra-sharp or chamfered cutting edges. Firstly, the UV-polishing properties of PCD substrate were investigated, and high-quality polished surface with 2.6 nmRa was obtained. Secondly, the UV-polishing was applied to the precision polishing of the flank face of PCD cutting tool, and an ultra-sharp cutting edge was finally achieved. The chamfered cutting edge with desired angle and width was additionally formed by the UV-polishing to suppress the chipping left on the sharpened cutting edge. The tool wear of chamfered PCD cutting tools could be reduced almost by half to the sharpened tool under high-speed cutting of high silicon-aluminum alloy.

Abstract Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have excellent properties such as high hardness, low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, chemical inertness and so on. Because DLC film is considered as an effective coating material to improve their surface properties, this films are used in various applications such as parts for automobiles engines, hard disk surfaces, cutting tools and dies, and so on. DLC films consist of a mixture of sp2 bonded carbon atoms and sp3 bonded carbon atoms. Among them, ta-C film is known as the hardest and strongest film since it mainly consists of sp3 bonded carbon atoms. One of deposition methods to form ta-C is Filtered Cathodic Vacuum Arc (FCVA). The characteristic of this method is that it is possible to remove the droplets and form a high-quality film.. However, even though lots of mechanical components which require ta-C coating have three-dimensionally shapes, it is difficult to coat ta-C film three dimensionally by using FCVA process. At present, researches on 3D deposition of amorphous carbon films on three dimensional components is still insufficient, and investigation reports on the deposition mechanism and characterization of the deposited films are even more limited. In this study, we tried to deposit films on 3D components by the FCVA method and evaluated the microstructure and surface morphologies of films. Although films were coated successfully in the entire surfaces, different properties were showed depending on the location of components. These properties were investigated by Raman spectroscopy and laser microscope.

ABSTRACTBoth passive and active electronic applications of CVD diamond have been proposed since the earliest stages of its development, largely based on an extrapolation of the superlative properties of single crystal diamond. Consequently, CVD diamond research has striven hard to match up to this expectation and significant advances have been made.CVD diamond compares favourably with natural or high pressure synthetic single crystal material for passive electronic applications. The development of CVD diamond deposition technology for thermal management has led producers to address issues such as production cost, yield and quality. CVD polycrystalline diamond is becoming a commodity material and commercial applications in thermal management are emerging. Many of these developments are expected to feed into active electronic applications and will act as a springboard for diamond into commercial technology.The active electronic applications for diamond are more demanding in terms of materials and process technologies. For example, doping, structure delineation and contact schemes have been widely demonstrated and prototype devices are showing potential benefits in sensors, detectors, photonics and cold cathodes. The current and future status of diamond electronics is reviewed.

Alloy Metal

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools are widely used for cutting tools because PCD has no crystal orientation and is an isotropic material, it is low in cost, and it is easily machined by electric discharge machining. PCD is sintered from diamond abrasives with an alloy metal, such as cobalt, and it is difficult to reduce the surface roughness and the edge accuracy compared with single crystal diamond. In this study, high efficiency and high precision machining of the PCD wheel were investigated. In the experiments, PCD wheels were ground with a diamond wheel, and the effects of the grinding direction and the load on the tool preciseness and the scribing performance were examined.

High-purity, single-phase polycrystalline diamond and cBN have been successfully synthesized by direct conversion sintering from graphite and hBN, respectively, under static high pressure and high temperature. The high-purity polycrystalline diamond synthesized directly from graphite at ≧15 GPa and 2300-2500 °C has a mixed texture of a homogeneous fine structure (grain size : 10-30 nm, formed in a diffusion process) and a lamellar structure (formed in a martensitic process). The polycrystalline diamond has very high hardness equivalent to or even higher than that of diamond crystal. The high-purity polycrystalline cBN synthesized from high-purity hBN at 7.7 GPa and 2300 °C consists of homogeneous fine-grained particles (<0.5 μm, formed in a diffusion process). The hardness of the fine-grained high-purity polycrystalline cBN is obviously higher than that of single-crystal cBN. The fine microstructure features without any secondary phases and extremely high hardness of the nano-polycrystalline diamond and the fine-grained polycrystalline cBN are promising for applications in next-generation high-precision and high-efficiency cutting tools.

Precision Finishing

Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) has been widely used for various cutting tools and die components making use of its hardness and wear resistance properties. The polishing method of a single crystal diamond substrate and SiC using ultraviolet irradiation was newly developed to obtain mirror-finished surfaces. Due to the long polishing time in this method, a better pre-machined surface is required to shorten the total processing time. In this work, the constant-pressure grinding was performed using a cup type metal-bonded diamond wheel and a constant pressure device. After the good constant-pressure grinding, the PCD was finished by the polishing under the ultraviolet irradiation, and the microroughness was reached to be 0.71 nmRa.
