An MCP (Microchannel Plate) is a secondary electron multiplier to detect and amplify electrons. An MCP has many rnicrochannels whose diameters range from 10 to 100pm and whose lengths range from 40 to 100times of the diameter. Each microchannel of the MCP amplifies electrons over IOOOtimes by the secondary electron emission. Even though MCPs have high performance for electron amplification, the application of MCPs is limited to high performance electronic equipments because of their high fabricating cost and the limit of increasing their size due to the conventional fabrication process. Therefore, in this work, microchannels of the MCP are manufactured by micro-drilling to reduce the cost of the MCP and to increase their size. Alumina green body with epoxy binder was machined for fabricating microchannels using a high speed air turbine spindle and micro-drills with diamond grinding abrasives. Then alumina MCP was fabricated through the sintering of the machined alumina green body.

This paper has been presented the hydrodynamic effect by the journal speed, eccentricity and source positions in order to overcome the defects of air bearing such as low stiffness and damping coefficient. Choosing the two row source position of air bearing is different from existed investigations in the side of pressure distribution of air film because of the high speed of journal and the wedge effects by the eccentricity. These optimal chooses of the two row source positions enable us to improve the performance of the film reaction force and loading force as making the high speed spindle. In this paper, The pressure behavior in theory of air film according to the eccentricity of journal and the source positions analyzed. The theoretical analysis have been identified by experiments. The results of investigated characteristics may be applied to precision devices like ultra-precision grinding machine and ultra high speed milling.

Hard turning on modern lathes becomes a realistic replacement for many grinding applications. Because CBN tools are expensive, excessive tool wear can eliminate economic advantages of hard turning. This paper describes a study of investigating the cutting force and the characteristics of tool wear in hard turning of hardened steels, AISI 52100. Cutting forces generated using CBN tools have been evaluated. The radial thrust cutting force was the largest among three cutting force components. It increased dramatically as a result of progressive tool wear. On the other hand, the result shows significantly different wear characteristics between high CBN and low CBN. Backpropagation neural network was used for the estimation of tool wear. The networks were achieved the reliability of 96.3% even when the spindle speed and feed rate are changed.

Quartz (SiO2) has high abrasion and heat resistances and excellent chemical and mechanical properties; therefore, it is used in various industries, such as machinery, chemistry, optics, and medicine. Quartz is a high-hardness and brittle material and is classified as the topmost difficult-to-cut material, which is because of the cracking or chipping at the edge during processing. Corner wear, such as cracks and chippings that occur during cutting, is a major cause for the deterioration in the machining quality. Therefore, many researchers are investigating various techniques to process quartz effectively. However, owing to the mechanical properties of quartz, most studies have been conducted on grinding, micromachining, and microdrilling. Few studies have been conducted on quartz processing. The purpose of this study was to analyze the machining characteristics according to the machining factors during the slot machining of quartz using a cubic boron nitride (CBN) tool and to select the optimal machining conditions using the Taguchi method. The machining experiment was performed considering three process variables: the spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The cutting force and surface roughness were analyzed according to the processing conditions.

In the semiconductor and display component industries, the use of ceramic materials, which are high-strength materials, is increasing for ensuring durability and wear resistance. Among them, alumina materials are used increasingly. Alumina materials are extremely difficult to process because of their high strength; as such, research and development in the area of mineral material processing is being promoted actively to improve their processing. In this study, the processability of an electrodeposition tool is investigated using the electrodeposition method to smoothly process alumina materials. Furthermore, processing is conducted under various processing conditions, such as spindle speed, feed speed, and depth of cut. In addition, the processing characteristics of the workpiece are analyzed based on the tooling.

The liquid-phase sintering method was used to prepare a glass lens forming core composed of SiC-$Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$. Spark plasma sintering was used to obtain dense sintered bodies. The sintering characteristics of different SiC sources and compositions of additives were studied. Results revealed that, owing to its initial larger surface area, $\alpha$-SiC offers sinterability that is superior to that of $\beta$-SiC. A maximum density of $3.32\;g/cm^3$ (theoretical density [TD] of 99.7%) was obtained in $\alpha$-SiC-10 wt% ($6Al_2O_3-4Y_2O_3$) sintered at $1850^{\circ}C$ without high-energy ball milling. The maximum hardness and compression stress of the sintered body reached 2870 Hv and 1110 MPa, respectively. The optimum ultra-precision machining parameters were a grinding speed of 1243 m/min, work spindle rotation rate of 100 rpm, feed rate of 0.5 mm/min, and depth of cut of $0.2\;{\mu}m$. The surface roughnesses of the thus prepared final products were Ra = 4.3 nm and Rt = 55.3 nm for the aspheric lens forming core and Ra = 4.4 nm and Rt = 41.9 for the spherical lens forming core. These values were found to be sufficiently low, and the cores showed good compatibility between SiC and the diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating material. Thus, these glass lens forming cores have great potential for application in the lens industry.

In this study, we carried out the each lines of section, using GC (green silicon carbide) whetstone, the SCM415 material which separated by after and before heat treatments process, in 3+2 axis machining centers for integrated grinding after cutting end mill works, the spindle speed 8000 rpm and feed rate 150 mm/min. For the analysis of the centerline average roughness (Ra), we measured by 10 steps stages. Using Finite element analysis, we found the result of the load analysis effect of the assembly parts, when applied the 11 kg's load on both side of the ATC (Automatic tool change) arm. The result is as follows. For the centerline average roughness (Ra) in the non-heat treatment work pieces, are appeared the most favorable in the tenth section are $0.510{\mu}m$, that were shown in the near the straight line section which is the smallest deformation of curve. In addition, the bad surface roughness appears on the path is to long by changing angle, the more inclined depth of cut, because the chip discharging is not smoothly.
