Study on Effects of the Feed on AFM-Based Nanomachining Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effects of the scratching feed on machined surface and scratching forces are studied by using AFM-based nanomachining process scratching along the long axis of the cantilever. Results show: A deeper structure and rougher surface can be obtained at a smaller feed. An increase in the feed results in increases in scratching forces and the resultant force and a decrease in the normal force. Finally, all forces reach to a saturation value. The ratio of the cutting force to the thrust force in the plane perpendicular to the cutting edge can reveal effects of ploughing and cutting between the tip and the sample in the nanomachining process. Correspondingly, different states (cutting or ploughing) play a key role in formation of the machined surface at different feeds.
