Diamond Tool Wear - Observation by SEM.pdfVIP

Shai N. Shafrir ????? ?? Abstract In Deterministic Microgrinding (DMG), the wear of diamond grains is a significant problem and the cause for lowering grinding efficiency, which leads to “pull-out” (loose) of diamond grains from the binder and the appearance of scratching. It contributes to poor surface finish, increased machining forces, and increased tooling costs. At the Center for Optics Manufacturing (COM), we have been primarily interested in resin and bronze bonds diamond tools with a diamond size of ~2-4 microns. Unfortunately it is difficult to directly measure fine abrasives mechanic
