This paper performed a series of finite element method (FEM) simulation to investigate the influence of the tool wear on the cutting temperature in the diamond ultra-precision cutting of the aluminum alloy mirror. The two-dimensional FEM model including the diamond tool with the different average width of wear land on flank face was established. A series of ultra-precision cutting experiments using different cutting distance was performed. The tool wear was detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the cutting temperature was detected by infrared thermal imager. The comparison of the simulation investigations and the experimental investigations was done. The results revealed that the cutting temperature increases with an increase of the average width of wear land on flank face in the FEM simulation. And in the ultra-precision cutting experiments the diamond tool wear becomes severe as the cutting distance increases, meanwhile the severe tool wear results in the higher cutting temperature. Consequently the FEM simulations prove to be right.

The aluminum alloys are widely used to manufacture large mirror of infrared band optical systems because they have many advantages such as low cost, low mass density, well thermal conductivity, well plasticity and easy manufacturing. In order to imporve the machining efficiency and meet the requirements of suface error and suface roughness of large metal mirror, diamond ultra-precision cutting is used as finish machining to manufacture them. But the diamond tool wear is severe which is induce by the cutting heat and the cutting force during the cutting process. In this work, the metal cutting finit element sofeware-AdvantEdge has been used to study the cutting tempreture in diamond ultra-precision cutting of aluminum alloy, the influence rules of cutting parameters and tool geometric parameters are researched. And the diamond ultra-precesion cutting experiments were performed, the cutting temperature were detected by infrared thermal imager. The results show that the cutting speed exerts the most considerable influence on the cutting temperature, and the cutting temperature increases with an increase in the cutting speed. Although the temperature detected by the infrared thermal imager in the diamond ultra-precesion cutting experiments is lower than that obtained from the simulation of finit element method (FEM), the varied trend of the cutting temperature is the same. So the FEM simulation proves to be true.

In this paper, cutting force and its power spectrum analysis at different tool wear levels are explored. A dynamic model is established to simulate the measured cutting force compositions, and a series of cutting experiments have been conducted to investigate the cutting force evolution with the tool wear progress. Research results reveal that in the time domain, the cutting force in UPRM is characterized as a force pulse follows by a damped vibration signals, the vibration can be modeled by a second order impulse response of the measurement system. While in the frequency domain, it is found that the power spectrum density at the natural frequency of dynamometer increases with the progress of tool wear, which therefore can be utilized to monitor diamond tool wear in UPRM.

This paper deals with finish cutting of thermally affected layer on cemented carbide by a diamond tool in order to machine efficiently the carbide mold with high accuracy and good surface without a polishing. The microstructure of thermally affected layer left by EDM process was observed and analyzed by EPMA. Its hardness and thickness were measured. Subsequently, the cutting experiments were carried out by using a PCD tool and an ultra-precision cutting machine. The effects of the thermally affected layer on the surface roughness, the cutting force and the tool wear were investigated. As a result, it was confirmed that the cutting force decreased with an increase in the depth of cut. Furthermore, it was found that the tool wear and the surface roughness obtained by cutting the thermally affected layer were greater than those of the original workpiece.

The surface generation mechanism of the Cu alloys in ultra-precision diamond turning is investigated by both simulation and experimental methods, where the effects of the cutting parameters on the surface characteristics are explored, including the workpiece spindle speed, the cutting depth, the feed rate and the nose radius of the diamond tool. To verify the built model, the cutting experiments are conducted at selected parameters, where the causes of the error between the simulation and the machining results are analyzed, including the effects of the materials microstructure and the diamond tool wear. In addition, the nanometric surface characteristics of the Cu alloys after the diamond turning are identified, including the finer scratching grooves caused by the tool wear, the formation of the surface burs and the adhesion of graphite. The results show that the built model can be basically used to predict the surface topography for the selection of the appropriate machining parameters in the ultra-precision diamond turning process.

Due to its relatively low mass density, low cost, high strength, the aluminum alloy is an ideal optical material to fabricate the large metal mirror of infrared band optical systems. The diamond ultra-precision cutting can produce ultra smooth machined surfaces without other finishing processes. Consequently, it can be used as a effective method to fabricate the large metal mirror. However, the tool wear is severe during the ultra-precision processes, which will ruduces the surface error of the large metal mirror. In this work, the ultra-precision cutting tests were performed to investigate the tool wear. The tool wear was examined by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the chip was examined by using x-ray energy dispersive spectrdmeter (EDS). The tool wear mechanism and the influence of the chutting parameters on the tool wear were investigated. The results show that the daimond tool occurred abrasive wear and diffusing wear in the diamond ultra-precision cutting of aluminum alloy. The average clearance wear width increases with an increase of the cutting speed and the feed rate. There is a slight rise in the average clearance wear width as the depth of the cut increases in the range of 5μm-15μm. The average clearance wear width obviously increases when the depth of the cut reaches to 20μm.

Superior Mechanical Properties

Titanium alloys, as difficult-to-cut materials, have poor machinability due to their superior mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. High cutting temperature and great cutting force that will greatly accelerate tool wear often occurs in titanium alloys cutting process. In this paper, an ultrasonic vibration turning method was used to lower diamond tool wear during TC4 titanium alloy turning process. Ultrasonic vibration turning tests were carried out with various cutting parameters. Experimental results indicated that there’s a significant reduction of the wear rate of diamond tools by means of ultrasonic vibration in TC4 turning process. For ultrasonic vibration turning, spindle speed, the amplitude and frequency of vibration of the tool are the greatest impact of tool wear, followed by feed rate, then the cutting depth.
