Cost-effective machining of granite by reducing tribological interactions

摘要

In order to implement cost-effective machining of granite materials with diamond impregnated tools,we should realize low tool wear, low energy consumption, and high cutting efficiency, while the accuracy of theworkpiece surfaces are maintained to be satisfactory. It is understood that the main factors affecting the tool wear,the energy, and the efficiency during the machining process are related to the tribological interactions that occur atthe interface between the diamond tool surface and the workpiece. Based on this consideration, we propose a newmachining method to machine granite materials to achieve improved cost effectiveness. In the proposed method,the tribological interactions are maintained to a minimum.
