“…Ultimate surface finish with high surface integrity, low surface roughness, and high form accuracy is crucial for achieving superior optical, electrical, and chemical corrosion resistance properties of advanced components and parts [1][2][3][4]. Among different types of micro/nano-manufacturing techniques, mechanical machining such as ultra-precision single-point diamond turning (SPDT) with ultra-fine material removal has been demonstrated as a promising technique for achieving ultra-smooth surface of a variety of materials, such as metals [5][6][7][8], semiconductor materials [9][10][11], and ceramics [12][13][14][15][16]. Specifically, in addition to utilized precision CNC lathes and ultra-sharp diamond tools, SPDT is also highly dependent on the properties of workpiece materials, primarily due to the comparable feature size of internal microstructures of workpiece materials with depth of cut (DOC), as well as cutting edge radius of diamond tools.…”
