Experimental Research on Chemical Mechanical Sharpening of CVD Diamond Micro Tool

Abstract

This Research is Focused on the Chemical Mechanical Sharpening of CVD Diamond Micro Tool, which has High Strength and Good Wear Resistance. the Diamond Grinding Wheels were Usually Used for Sharpening, but this Method could Not get High Quality Surface of the Diamond Efficiently and Small Cutting Edge Radius. in Order to Seek a Better Mode for Sharpening, the Copper Based Tungsten Carbide Disc and Abrasive were Used for Grinding. for Better Understanding the Effects of Different Parameters on the Grinding Process and Optimizing them, the Orthogonal Method was Used to Design the Experiments. Grinding Direction, Feed Rate and the Grinding Velocity were Investigated to Obtain Sharper Cutting Edge and Smooth Flank Face. Analysis of Range was Also Introduced to Evaluate the Contribution of each Parameter in Orthogonal Experiment. the Results Showed that down Grinding, Medium Feed Rate and Low Velocity could Achieve a Better Sharpening Result.
