This paper presents a new cutting method, i.e. diamond cutting, aided by electrolysis, in order to cut ferrous materials with diamond tools. Diamond cutting is widely applied in manufacturing ultraprecision parts such as magnetic disk, polygon mirror, spherical/non-spherical mirror and copier drum, etc. because of the diamond tool edge sharpness. In general, however, diamond cutting cannot be applied to cutting steels, because diamond tools wear excessively in cutting iron based materials like steel due to their high chemical interaction with iron in high temperature. In order to suppress the diffusion of carbon from the diamond tool and to reduce increase of cutting force due to size effect, we attempt to change chemically the compositions of iron based materials using electrolysis in a limited part which will be soon cut. Through experiments under several micro-machining and electrolysis conditions, cutting using electrolysis, compared to conventional cutting, was found to result in a great decrease of the cutting force, a better surface and much less wear tool.

Ultra precision diamond cutting is a very efficient manufacturing method for optical parts such as HOE, Fresnel lenses, diffraction lenses, and others. During micro cutting, the rake angle is likely to become negative because the tool edge radius is considerably large compared to the sub-micrometer-order depth of cut. Depending on the ratio of the tool edge radius to the depth of cut, different micro-cutting mechanism modes appear. Therefore, the tool edge sharpness is the most important factor affecting the qualities of machined parts. That is why diamond especially mono-crystal diamond, which has the sharpest edge among all other materials is widely used in micro-cutting. The question arises, given a diamond tool, what is the minimum (critical) depth of cut to get continuous chips while in the cutting process\ulcorner In this paper, the micro machinability around the critical depth of cut is investigated in micro grooving with a diamond tool, and introduce the minimizing method of cutting depth using vibration cutting. The experimental results show the characteristics of micro cutting in terms of cutting force ratio (Fx/Fy), chip shape, surface roughness, and surface hardeing around the critical depth of cut.

Diamond shaping is one of the machining strategies to make the optical micro-groove molds, and it is especially useful when the component is an assembly of the linear micro-groove array. A mirrorlike surface and an arbitrary crose-sectional curve can be easily made by the diamond tool. However, the cutting speed of shaping is relatively lower than that of the other cutting methods, and there exist an unstable cutting conditions that generate the chatter. This study is focused on the modeling of the simplified self-induced chatter of the diamond shaping, and the machinabilities of three materials are compared by cutting experiments. From the chatter model and experiments, it is found that the unstable cutting conditions exist when the depth of cut is low and cutting speed is high. It is also found that the brass is relatively good material in micro shaping than copper or aluminium from the cutting experiments.

In this study, machinability of some aluminum-magnesium alloy are experimentally investigated using polycrystalline diamond tool with turning, and evaluated some independent cutting variables affected micrometal cutting characteristics as cutting force, specific cutting resistance, shear angles. To know the effect of cutting parameters of single point diamond machining, experiments were performed to measure cutting forces for high speed turning of aluminum alloy 6061-T6, SM45C and FC20 with poly- crystalline diamond and coated cemented carbide tool. Independent cutting variables were changed to a variety of cutting speed, feed rate, rake angles, material properties of workpiece and tool. Futhermore. Some useful informations are obtained in this study can guide micro metal cutting of aluminum alloy with diamond tool.

This paper presents a new method for cutting steel with a diamond tool using electrolysis. The electrolysis is adopted in the diamond cutting to prevent the high chemical activity between a diamond tool and an iron-based workpiece. The basic principle of the method is to oxdize a thin substrate of the workpiece by electrolysis ahead of the diamond tool which cuts the oxidized layer. A desired shape can be obtained by repeating this process. The cutting force is reduced because the diamond tool removes only the weakened material by electroysis. The reduction of the cutting force suppresses the excessive wear of the diamond tool. The oxidization penetrates several micrometers in depth along the previously formed shape. The corrosion rates depend on current density and make suggestions on the optimum cutting conditions.

In micro-machining, diamond tool is commonly used because it brings much better micro-machinability due to its edge sharpness. However, it is a big question even how thinly the sharp edge of a diamond tool can cut a ship from the workpiece surface. This paper is to investigate the critical cutting depth, at which the dominant cutting mode changes from chip formation to burnishing or vice versa, for a given edge radius. The theoretically critical cutting depth is 0.25$\mu\textrm{m}$(0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$) in cutting using a square type(V-type) diamond tool that has edge radius of 1$\mu\textrm{m}$(1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$). Experimentally, the dominant cutting mode changes and cutting surface becomes better at critical cutting depth. To get high quality surface, depth of cut must be critical cutting depth because less plastically deformed substrate is left on the surface.

A cutting experiment using diamond tool was performed to make the die cabity which is composed of micro groove with mirror surface. Fine cutting depth was generated by the elastic recovery of the modified tool holder on the conventional M/C. Surface roughness and profile were investigated with cutting speed and depth and through the low cutting speed of 10mm/min, Rmax 0.005 .mu. m or less of machined surface could be achieved.
