CVD diamond coatings on geometrically complex cutting tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
The manufacturing of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond coated shaft type cutting tools is demanding due to the complex design of the cutting edges and the cobalt content of the cemented carbide. The influencing parameters of substrate, pre-treatment and diamond film on the tool cutting performance are discussed. The optimised manufacturing route of CVD diamond coated thread milling drills is identified with the use of material and tribological tests. Following the optimised production of the tools, the thread milling drills are then applied in the machining of AlSi17Cu4Mg, whereby the tool performance is characterised with respect to their wear behaviour, the process forces and temperatures as well as the workpiece quality.

Characterizations of nano-crystalline diamond coating cutting tools
Diamond coatings made by processes such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have been increasingly explored for cutting tools applications, in particular, for machining lightweight high-strength materials. However, most literature to date reported that the wear resistance of CVD diamond tools is still distant to the polycrystalline diamond (PCD) counterparts. Recently, a microwave plasma-assiste...

A method is presented to improve the tool life and cutting performance of 300mm diameter tungsten carbide (WC) micro end mills by applying thin (o300nm) fine-grained diamond (FGD) and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings using the hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HF-CVD) process. The performance of the diamond-coated tools has been evaluated by comparing their performance in dry slot m...
متن کاملCutting Edge Profile Characterizations by White-light Interferometry
Diamond coated cutting tools provide several advantages over traditional cutting tools, specifically in the machining of advanced materials such as composites. One of the main disadvantages of diamond coated cutting tools is the residual stresses induced from the diamond deposition, which lead to tool failure. Moreover, the cutting edge geometry can be critical to the deposition residual stress...
متن کاملEffect of Boron-Doped Diamond Interlayer on Cutting Performance of Diamond Coated Micro Drills for Graphite Machining
Thin boron doped diamond (BDD) film is deposited from trimethyl borate/acetone/hydrogen mixture on Co-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) micro drills by using the hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) technique. The boron peak on Raman spectrum confirms the boron incorporation in diamond film. This film is used as an interlayer for subsequent CVD of micro-crystalline diamond (MCD) film....
متن کاملMeasurements of Coating Thickness of Diamond-coated Tools by White-light Interferometry
In this study, the coating thickness of diamondcoated tools was evaluated and investigated by non-contact measurements. Commercial cobaltcemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) cutting inserts (edge radii from 5 to 80 microns) were used as substrates for varying CVD-diamond depositions. A white-light interferometer (WLI) was used to acquire the surface profile data around cutting edges. MATLAB algori...
