Abstract

The wear pattern and its mechanisms of Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) tool has been investigated experimentally and theoretically during ultra-precision turning of SiC particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composite. The results showed that micro wear, chipping, peeling, abrasive wear and chemical wear were the dominating wear patterns of SCD tools. Coupled with XRD analysis on the machined surface and Raman studies on the flank wear land of SCD tool, it was pointed that the combined effects of abrasive wear of SiC particles and catalysis of copper in the aluminum matrix have caused the severe graphitization.
