Optimization of the Grinding Parameters for CVD Diamond Micro-Tools

Abstract:

This study is focused on the optimization of the grinding process parameters for the grinding of the CVD diamond micro-milling tool. Two types of CVD diamond i.e. CDM and CDE are used for the study. Feed rate and the grinding velocity are used as the grinding parameters. The optimizations of the parameters are done by studying the two results i.e. grinding force and cutting edge radius. Highest grinding velocity and medium feed rate is found to have the best result for the grinding of the CVD diamond. Keywords: CVD diamond, Grinding, Micro-tool
