Elliptical Vibration Cutting of Steel with Diamond Tools
نویسنده
چکیده
Diamond turning of steel alloys is impractical due to catastrophic tool wear caused by a combination of chemical and abrasive wear. In the literature, several modifications of the cutting process have been proposed, e.g. cutting in an inert gas atmosphere, cryogenic cutting and vibration assisted cutting, e.g. elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) [1-5]. In this work, the EVC method was investigated, because of best results due to wear reducing effect [3]. By carefully monitoring and adjusting the tool oscillation, tool wear could be reduced by a factor of 10 and surface roughness could be improved.
