“…Direct machining of these materials is cost-effective, and obtaining their high-quality surfaces is always a concern in the manufacturing industry owing to the high tool wear [25,71]. Although diamond tools have been widely used in cutting non-ferrous materials for high-quality mirror surfaces [71][72][73][74], it cannot be used to cut ferrous materials because of the strong chemical affinity of diamond (carbon) with iron causing excessive tool wear [75][76][77]. However, Kumabe [23] reported that with the aid of ultrasonic vibration, the diamond tools could be used to cut steels.…”

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UVA) machining is a process which makes use of a micro-scale high frequency vibration applied to a cutting tool to improve the material removal effectiveness. Its principle is to make the tool-workpiece interaction a microscopically non-monotonic process to facilitate chip separation and to reduce machining forces. It can also reduce the deformation zone in a workpiece under machining, thereby improving the surface integrity of a component machined. There are several types of UVA machining processes, differentiated by the directions of the vibrations introduced relative to the cutting direction. Applications of UVA machining to a wide range of workpiece materials have shown that the process can considerably improve machining performance. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive discussion and review about some key aspects of UVA machining such as cutting kinematics and dynamics, effect of workpiece materials and wear of cutting tools, involving a wide range of workpiece materials including metal alloys, ceramics, amorphous and composite materials. Some aspects for further investigation are also outlined at the end.

“…It is noted that the exposing height of the brazed grain usually reaches 50-70 % of the total size of the polycrystalline diamond grain [12,13]. In particular, the values of b, h, and W vary with different grain exposing height, as illustrated in Table 3.…”

“…Meanwhile, Cr 3 C 2 has an orientation relationship with the atom distribution of C on the surface of diamond. According to the relevant reports, the formation of Cr 3 C 2 and Cr 7 C 3 through chemical reaction and elements diffusion between diamond phase and Cr atoms of brazing alloy is thermodynamically favorable [12,13]. Furthermore, the growth of the resultants layer is controlled mainly by the newly formed Cr 3 C 2 layer, whereas the diffusion of the active Cr atoms plays crucial role in the growth process.…”

Monolayer brazed grinding wheels were prepared using polycrystalline diamond grains, Ni-Cr-B-Si brazing alloy, and commercial Q235A steel with the brazing temperature 1000°C and the holding time 5 min. The microstructure and element distribution of joint interface was studied through scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, respectively. Grinding performance of wheels was evaluated during grinding alumina specimen. The fracture of polycrystalline diamond grains with the embedding depth of 50 and 70 % was studied quantitatively. The results show that good joint interface was formed among polycrystalline diamond grains, Ni-Cr-B-Si brazing alloy, and Q235A steel through element diffusion and chemical reaction during brazing. Chemical resultants Cr 3 C 2 and Cr 7 C 3 formed within joint interface between polycrystalline diamond grain and Ni-Cr-B-Si brazing alloy; meanwhile, the growth of Cr 3 C 2 has an orientation relationship with element arrangement of diamond surface. Compared with single crystal diamond grinding wheel, the polycrystalline diamond grinding wheel has exhibited evident advantages according to the grinding force and force ration (tangential grinding force F t / normal grinding force F n ). The F n and F t is 21.69 and 7.23 N with the expositing high of 50 % and 5.16 and 1.72 N with the expositing high of 70 % respectively, when polycrystalline diamond grain fracture takes place. The failure mechanism of brazed polycrystalline diamond grains grinding wheel is diamond fracture.

“…It is a better semiconductor as compared to diamond and other commonly used semiconductors such as Si and GaN including, wide indirect band gap of 6.5 eV, can be doped as a shallow p-type semiconductor with Be and Mg and as an n-type with Si and Zn [13,14]. It is inert with regards to ferrous materials even at high temperatures while diamond forms iron carbide at about 600°C [3,5].These properties have motivated the use of c-BN in numerous industrial, chemical and electrical applications [15][16][17][18].…”

“…Diamondand its composites have been widely used over the years for most of the above mentioned applications. Unfortunately, these materials are not appropriate forsome applications such as machining tools made of ferrous alloys, due to the high chemical reactivity of C to Fe at elevated temperature temperatures [1][2][3][4][5]. As such, the possibility of synthesizing materials…”

We have reported on the implantation of boron ioninto hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) material to aid the nucleation ofcubic boron nitride nanocrystals (nc-BN).Single crystal h-BN was implanted with boron ion at 150 keVat fluences of the order of 10 15 and10 17 ions/cm 2 at room temperature.High Angle Annular Dark-Field Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HAADF-STEM) mapping showed a variation inimage contrast in samples irradiated to a fluence of 1×10 15 ions/cm 2. As predicted by Stopping Range and Ions in Materials (SRIM) calculations, the implanted region with the highest damage density appeared to have a bright contrast in HAADF-STEM which represented the high density c-BN symmetry. High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and electron diffraction measurements showed regions with nc-BN for samples implanted with low fluences and amorphous BN after implantation with high fluences indicating a fluence-related phase transition in BN. Raman spectroscopy showed the emergence of longitudinal optical frequency mode associated withc-BN after implantation.
