Abstract

Ultraprecision diamond turning can produce advanced components with not only a high-dimensional accuracy but also with a good surface integrity such as a small surface roughness and low-residual stress. In this chapter, an experimental study on diamond-turned surface layers was conducted by machining single crystals with different crystallographic planes. The influences of the depth of cut and the initial crystal orientation on the plastic properties were studied from the changes in dislocation density, the microstrain, the microhardness of the machined surface layer and the deformed structure. The block size, microstrain and dislocation density in the deformation layer were derived from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) line profile analysis method. The elastic modulus and the recovery behaviour were measured by nano-indenter testing. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to characterise the dislocation structure of the diamond-turned surface at various depths of cut.
