Wear characteristics of the pointed diamond tool in ultraprecision and micro cutting of Al 6061 V-grooves

Pointed diamond tool has been widely used in ultraprecision manufacturing of V-grooves. This article provides a wear law and wear characteristics of pointed diamond tool during V-grooves machining with the consideration of the cutting stress and the strength of diamond, which could be used to estimate the tool wear state and control the V-grooves machining quality. In this research, the model of cutting stress distribution and cutting force in...
