CREATION OF V-SHAPED CURVED MICROGROOVES WITH TWO FLAT-ENDS BY NON-ROTATIONAL CUTTING TOOLS

摘要

Although the flat-end shape was successfully created, it had only single end, and the microgroove shape was limited to the straight line. To widen the possibility of microgrooving technology, the study aims at developing a new machining method to create microgrooves with two flat-ends. As a result the straight and curved microgrooves with two flat-ends were successfully created on a flat surface and a spherical surface by a newly proposed machining method.rnA part of the study is supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research B16360069.
