Abstract
This paper is concerned with the machinability of fine ceramics(Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$) by using sintered diamond tools. For this purpose, ceramics cutting experiments under various cutting conditions such as cutting speed, feed rate, and others were carried out. The main results are follows : (1) During the cutting of fine ceramics, the used tools were found to be slightly chattering at cutting speed of 70m/min, and at cutting speed of higher than this I found the fine ceramics difficult to be cut. (2) When I used a tool with large nose radius, there occured a small amount of wear on the flank of the tool. However, at the early stage of fine ceramics cutting, the tools with smaller nose radii were required mainly to prevent the chipping of the ceramics. (3) When the materials were dry-cut, the appropriate cutting speel was found to be lower than 40m/min, and when the materials were dry-cut, I could cut them without any difficulty even at the speed of 70m/min, the surface roughness of ceramics cut at the speed of 70m/min was considerly fine. (4) It is generally believed that the principal cutting force is the largest in the case of steels cutting, but I found the thrust cutting force to be larger than any other cutting forces in the case of ceramics cutting.
본 연구는 알루미나계 세라믹의 소결 다이아몬드 공구로 절삭시의 칩의 형태 와 절삭저항을 관찰하였다. 절삭 양식은 건식과 습식으로 하고, 여러 가지 적삭조건 에 따른 flank 마멸의 진행과정, 가공면의 표면거칠기에 미치는 영향 및 가공면의 크랙 상태를 조사형 현미경으로 확대 검출하여 가공상태를 정밀하게 조사, 측정하였 다.
