Direct Single Point Diamond Cutting of Stavax Assisted with Ultrasonic Vibration to Produce Optical Quality Surface Finish

摘要

From the above study, some conclusions can be drawn: 1. An ultrasonic vibration assisted cutting system using a static and a dynamic clamping points provides an adequate stiffness in the lateral direction. 2. The maximum gap between the tool and the chip decreases almost linearly with an increase in the cutting speed. 3. The coolant filling speed is much faster at the early stage than the later stage of the vibration cycle. 4. The calculated and experimental critical cutting speeds were found to be in good agreement at low vibration amplitudes. However, large differences existed at high vibration amplitudes due to the prevalence of work material adhesion on the cutting edge.
