Papers by Keyword: Brazed Diamond Tool

Abstract: A quantitative method which is named as ‘Wear Area Method’ (WAM) is proposed to characterize the brazed diamond tool wear in this paper. To different diamond grain forms, we present different definitions of their wear area. And with above foundation, the concept ‘Tool Wear Rate’ (TWR) is defined to describe the wear level of tool. Then we propose a corresponding measurement way which depends on the SEM photos and software Image pro plus to get the wear area. Finally, we set a face grinding experiment of sapphire to confirm the availability of this new method.

Abstract: An experimental study was carried out to investigate the force in drilling of engineering ceramic with a brazed diamond tool. The drilling forces and protrusion heights of diamond grains were measured. The results showed that the variation of cutting forces, increasing with the cutting time, was divided into three phases for a drilled hole. For each phase, the variation of cutting forces was different. The drilling forces also increased with the numbers of drilled holes due to the wear of diamond grits. The distance values of the cutting force between the end of first phase and the end of second phase approximately kept constant.
