Materialremovalmechanismsinprecisionmachiningofnewmaterials
Abstract
Modern-dayproductsarecharacterisedbyhigh-precisioncomponents.Awiderangeofmaterials,includingmetalsandtheiralloys,ceramics,glassesandsemiconductors,arefinishedtoagivengeometry,finish,accuracyandsurfaceintegritytomeettheservicerequirements.Foradvancedtechnologysystems,demandsforhigherfabricationprecisionarecomplicatedbytheuseofbrittlematerials.Forefficientandeconomicalmachiningofthesematerials,anunderstandingofthematerialremovalmechanismisessential.Thispaperfocusesonthedifferentmaterialremovalmechanismsinvolvedinmachiningofbrittlematerials.2001PublishedbyElsevierScienceLtd.

1.Introduction
Ultra-precisionmachiningtechnologyhasbeendevelopedoverrecentyearsforthemanufactureofcost-effectiveandquality-assuredprecisionpartsforseveralindustrialapplicationssuchaslasers,optics,semiconductors,aerospaceandautomobileapplications.Precisionmanufacturingdealswiththerealisationofproductswithhighshapeaccuracyandsurfacequality.Theaccuracymaybeatthenanometriclevel.Severalmachiningtechniquescanbementionedherelikediamondturning,grinding,lapping,polishing,honing,ionandelectron-beammachining,lasermachining,etc.EfficientoverviewsoftheprocessesaregiveninRefs.[1–3].
Ultra-precisionmachiningtechnologyhasbeenhighlydevelopedsincethe1980smainlybecauseofitshighaccuracyandhighproductivityinthemanufacturingofoptical,mechanicalandelectroniccomponentsforindustrialuse.Formanyadvancedtechnologysystems,higherfabricationprecisioniscomplicatedbytheuseofbrittlematerials.Thepastdecadehasseenatremendousresurgenceintheuseofceramicsinstructuralapplications.Theexcellentthermal,chemicalandwearresistanceofthesematerialscanberealisedbecauseofrecentimprovementsintheoverallstrengthanduniformityofadvancedceramics[4].
Ceramicmaterialshavebeenwidelyadaptedasfunctionalmaterialsaswellasstructuralmaterialsinvariousindustrialfieldsandtheirapplicationtoprecisionpartsisalsoincreasing[5].
However,thehighdimensionalaccuracyandgoodsurfacequalityrequiredforprecisionpartsarenotnecessarilyobtainedbytheconventionalformingandsinteringprocessofceramicpowders.Thusprecisionfinishingoftheceramicsafterformingandsinteringisrecognisedasakeytechnologytoprecisionceramicparts[6].
Thequantityofceramicmaterialtoberemovedbythefinishingprocessmustbeverysmall,sothatmicrocracksdonotremainonthefinishedsurface.Abrasiveprocessessuchasgrindingorlappingwithdiamondabrasiveshavegenerallybeenadoptedforprecisionfinishingofceramics[7–9].
However,itisexpectedthatbettersurfaceintegrityandhigherproductionratescanberealisedbycuttingprocesses.Comparedwithotherprocesses,cuttingisalsoadvantageousinmachiningcomplexshapes.Brittlematerialscanbedividedintothreegroups:

Generally,duringhigh-precisionmachiningofbrittlematerials,toolshavinglargenegativerakeanglesareused(ashighas-30︒).Thenegativerakeangleprovidestherequiredhydrostaticpressureforenablingplasticdeformationoftheworkmaterialbeneaththetoolradius.Duringconventionalmachiningwithasingle-pointtool,therakeanglewillbepositiveorcloseto0︒.Withpositiverakeangle,thecuttingforcewillgenerallybetwicethethrustforce.Hencethedeformationaheadofthetoolwillbeinaconcentratedshearplaneorinanarrowplaneasshown
