“…Moreover, many researchers discovered that size effect, which is manifested as ploughing effect is appeared usually in micro machining of metals [ 15 , 16 ] and several researchers (like Arif et al [ 17 ] and Amin et al [ 18 ]) found size effect in end-milling of brittle materials. In particular, Chen et al [ 14 ] found that size effect which is manifested as severe ploughing and rubbing effect is appeared when the undeformed chip thickness is smaller than a certain value in micro milling of KDP crystal.…”

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP or KH2PO4) crystal is widely used as terminal frequency converters in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). However, KDP crystal is a typical difficult-to-cut optical crystal with the characteristic of soft-brittle. In this work, the relationship between cutting force and processed surface quality in micro ball end-milling of KDP crystal with various depth of cut and spindle speed is studied by carried out the micro-milling experiments. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm is used to diagnose the recorded cutting force. The periodic change of cutting force and the cutting force after filtering noises can be got through FFT analysis. Through calculating the correlation coefficients between the static component of thrust force and roughness value Ra of machined grooves, as well as the peak-valley (P-V) value of thrust force and dimensional error of machined grooves, the roughness value Ra and dimensional error of machined grooves would be predicted by monitoring the static component and P-V value of the thrust force, respectively. The relatively large spindle speed helps to reduce the roughness value Ra. The spindle speed with moderate value is recommended to reduce the dimensional error of machined groove because the dimensional error of machined groove will increase when the spindle speed is small enough (causing brittle cutting) or large enough (reducing cutting stability).
