An Analytical Model for Grinding Force Prediction in Ultra-Precision Machining of WC with PCD Micro Grinding Tool
Micro grinding with a poly crystalline diamond (PCD) tool is one of the promising approaches for fabricating a micro mold on difficult-to-cut materials. As the process can also achieve good surface integrity without additional finishing …
Simultaneous Geometric Error Identification of Rotary Axis and Tool Setting in an Ultra-Precision 5-axis Machine Tool using On-Machine Measurement
This paper presents a method to identify the position independent geometric errors of rotary axis and tool setting simultaneously using on-machine measurement. Reducing geometric errors of an ultra-precision five-axis machine tool is a key to …
Geometric- and Force-Induced Errors Compensation and Uncertainty Analysis of Rotary Axis in 5-Axis Ultra-Precision Machine Tool
In machining of a microstructure on a free form surface, a five-axis ultra-precision machine tool has a great advantage in its flexibility and efficiency compared to a conventional machine tool. However, rotary axes in the …
Investigation of the Ductile Cutting Behavior of Monocrystalline Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia During Ultra-Precision Orthogonal Cutting
Manufacturability of advanced ceramics has been a challenging issue mainly because of their brittle behaviors and high hardness. One approach to solving this issue is enabling ductile regime cutting, which can also be used to …
Enhanced Mechanical Strength and Electrochemical Performance of Core–Shell Structured High–Nickel Cathode Material
Improving capacity retention during cycling and the thermal–abuse tolerance of layered high–nickel cathode material, LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811), is a significant challenge. A series of core–shell structured cathode materials with the overall composition of LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 was prepared via a …
