Numerical and experimental studies on single point diamond turning of brittle and ductile materials

Abstract

Silicon and silicon carbide materials are widely used materials in semiconductor industries defence aerospace and biomedical due to their excellent mechanical chemical and thermal properties However mechanical processing of these materials is very much difficult because of their brittleness Single point diamond turning SPDT successfully produces optical finish surfaces on these materials however it causes severe tool wear to the diamond tool SPDT comprises of complex interaction of it...
