Nickel-phosphorus alloys are attractive materials for diamond turning applications such as fabrication of large optics and other high precision parts. It is also well-known that the higher phosphorus content of the alloys minimizes the diamond tool wear. Due to the weakness of electoless nickel plating that the phosphorus contents is limited to 13-14% (wgt), increased attention has been paid at electro-nickel plating which enables the alloys with 15-16% phosphorus. In this study, experiments were carried out to observe the wear characteristic of single crystal diamond tools in micro-grooving of electro-nickel plated drums. The experiments shows that long distance (50km) machining of micro-grooving on electro-nickel plated drum is possible with a single crystal diamond tool without any significant tool wear and defective machined surface.

The various colored cubic zirconia single crystals for jewelry were grown by skull melting method of excellent productivity. The cubic zirconia is similar to the character of diamond, which has high refractive index, large dispersion and high hardness. It is possible that the development of new colored cubic zirconia by doping 3d-transition elements or 4f-rare earth elements. The colored cubic zirconia is representative of synthetic gemstone which was grown up by mixing one or over two materials among $Pr_6O_{11},\;TiO_2,\;MnO_2\;and\;Er_2O_3$ as coloring agent. Subsequent heat treatment improves the quality of color and uniformity. This study is aimed the color reappearance of cubic zirconia such as natural peridot, smoky-quartz and red-tourmaline.

Natural black diamonds of single crystal, polycrystalline, and agglomerated roughs become important for their industrial and gem stone application. We performed the conventional gemological tests of thermal diffusion, apparent density, scratch test, and magnification test as well as the advanced tests of Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction test and Lang topography. We conclude that scratch test with SiC paper was the most efficient method in view point of speed and cost. Raman spectroscopy and XRD were useful for identification of diamond while Lang topography offered a good visualization method of the grain structure of polycrystalline black diamond roughs.

A 110 m diameter aspheric metal secondary mirror for a test model of an earth observation satellite camera was fsbricated by ultra-precision single point diamond turning (SPDT). Aluminum alloy for mirror substrates is known to be easily machinable, but not polishable due to its ductility. A harder material, Ni, is usually electrolessly coated on an A1 substrate to increase the surface hardness for optical polishing. Aspheric metal secondary mirror without a conventional polishing process, the surface roughness of Ra=10nm, and the form error of Ra=λ/12(λ=632.8nm) has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for reflector cutting of electroless-Ni coated A1 alloy and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of metal aspheric reflector.

This research intends to gain the sight for the qualitative characteristics of precision cutting by using the CNC lathe with a mono-crystal diamond(MCD) and a poly-crystal diamond(PCD) tool on the cutting distance. In case of an MCD tool, as the cutting distance increases, the surface roughness becomes worse and the standard deviation of surface roughness is small. In case of a PCD tool, as the cutting distance increases, the surface roughness becomes stable with a large standard deviation. The cutting force ratio(Ft/Fn) decreases as the nose radius increases and the decreasing ratio becomes larger for small nose radius.

초정밀 절삭용 다이아몬드 공구의 날끝 형상에 관해서는 여러 가지 설계안이 개발되어 제각기 성공적으로 사용되고 있지만 제품 품질의 균일성, 즉 성능과 수명의 차이는 아직까지 미해결이다. 또한, 초정밀공구의 날끝 능선에 관해서 최근 측정 데이터가 발표되고 있으나, 양호한 날끝능선, 불량한 능선 및 소정의 다듬질이 이루어지지 못하고 수명에 달해버린 능선 등에 대한 제각기의 형상, 구조 등이 밝혀지지 않고 있으며, 공구의 제작법을 개발하는 것은 금후의 연구과제로 남 아있다. 그리고, 단결정 바이트의 연마에 대해서는 많은 기술적인 진전이 이루어져 왔으나, 수 명의 차이는 해결하지 못하고 있다. 이는 날끝능선의 연마방향과 더불어 다이아몬드의 이방성, 원석의 품질 등과 관련이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 공구의 마멸과정이 결정방위에 의존하는 것은 당연하겠지만, 공구의 연마가공에서는 이방성 그 자체가 공구마멸에 나타나는 문제 및 경사면과 여유면의 마멸과 달리 예리한 인선을 둔화시키는 날끝 능선의 마멸은 어떻게 진행되는가가 문 제이며, 공구의 결정방위와 성능, 수명과의 관련은 실험적으로 해명되어야 할 것이다. 또한 재 료인 다이아몬드 원석에 있어서도, 커다란 결함이 발견된 것은 제외되지만 극히 경미한 결함은 어디까지 허용될 것인지가 문제이다. 내부응력, 착색 등 결함의 인자는 다양하지만 제각기 공구 의 성능 및 수명과의 관련은 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않다. 이러한 인자 중에서도 어느 것이 가장 크게 영향을 미치는지 확인된다면 커다란 진보가 이루어질 것으로 기대된다.

상용으로 사용되고 있는 Sargent bath에 수십 나노크기의 다이아몬드 분말을 혼입하여 전기도금법에 의해 매우 우수한 표면 특성을 갖는 크롬 복합 도금층을 얻었다. 상기 복합 도금층은 순수 크롬 도금층의 미세 경도(Hy. 801)보다 높은 값(Hy. 920)을 나타내었고, 내마모성은 약 3-4배 뛰어난 성능을 보였다. 또한, NaCl 수용액에서 수행한 내식성 테스트에서는 크롬 복합 도금층이 순수 크롬 도금층대비 1/6 수준의 passive current를 가졌다. SEM을 통한 표면 형상 관찰 결과 크롬 도금층에 혼입된 나노 다이아몬드 분말은 단결정 혹은 다결정의 형태로 존재하였다.

The mechanical properties of silicon crystals are important from the viewpoint of wafer and device fabrication processes. It is now widely recognized that silicon undergoes a series of phase transformations when subjected to high pressures, using conventional high pressure devices, such as diamond anvils or indenters. Diamond tip scratching on a silicon surface in the various conditions introduces various kinds of mechanical damage and stressed states. Micro Raman spectroscopy was used to observe the phase transition of single crystal silicon. As results, different morphologies were observed as functions of scratching speed and loading condition and various phases were observed as functions of scratching speed and loading condition.

Single point diamond turning technique for optical crystals is reported in this paper. The main factors influencing the machined surface quality are discovered and regularities of machining process are drawn. Optical crystals have found more and more important applications in the field of modern optics. Optical crystals are mostly brittle materials of poor machinability. The traditional machining method is polishing which has many shortcomings such as low production efficiency, poor ability to be automatically controlled and edge effect of the workpiece. The purpose of our research is to find the optimum machining conditions for ductile cutting of optical crystals and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of brittle material.
