Abstract: Texturing on the surface of cutting tools is an effective method to improve the friction and resultant machining performances of the tool. In this study, to fabricate nanotextures on various tools used for precision cutting, a patterning method on nanopolycrystalline diamond and cubic boron nitride tools was investigated using focused ion beam (FIB) irradiation and heat treatment. Patterning was possible using this method, and the patterning characteristics were different from those of single-crystal diamond. This method was more suitable for cutting tools compared with direct FIB machining because of its high efficiency and significantly low affected layer.

Abstract: Single-crystal diamond tools can be used for cutting high precise parts with high efficiency, but it is very difficult to abrade it, which is one of study purposes in this paper. This project can be done on the high precise machine tools by using a diamond abrasive wheel with super fine grain size. In this paper, the abrading mechanism is represented, an efficient abrasive method is invented, the major factors which have an important effect on abrasive efficiency and accuracy are discussed, such as abrasive wheel grain size, bonding agent, hardness, speed, pressure and feeding speed etc and some results raising abrasive efficiency and accuracy are obtained. By using the single-crystal diamond tool abraded by author, the degree of roughness of the parts can come up to Ra0.05.
