Diamond milling of nitrided steels for optical mold making

Abstract: So far ultraprecision diamond machining of steel molds for optical applications is not possible because of excessive wear of the applied diamond tools. This article discusses a thermochemical approach for steel machining with single crystal diamond tools as well as the process of material modification. Ultraprecision raster milling experiments for the nitrided carbon steel C45 ͑AISI 1045͒ and the tempering steel 42CrMo4 ͑AISI 4140͒ are presented. In both materials a surface roughness of RaϽ 10 nm could be achi… Show more

“…The principle step of the nitriding process is that a chemical reaction generates a layer of nitrogen compound on the top surface of the workpiece. The thickness of the modification layer is controlled by heat treatment parameters, including temperature and processing time, as shown in figure 28 [95][96][97]. During the cutting process, the depth of the cut is precisely controlled guaranteeing that it is less than the thickness of the compound layer.…”

“…in injection moulding of plastics. A possible solution is diamond cutting of nitrocarburized steel alloys, which can be machined without significant tool wear which usually occurs when un-treated steel alloys are machined with single crystal diamond tools [2,3]. Trough the nitrocarburizing process the iron atoms in the steel are bonded to nitrogen atoms.…”
