Electrical discharge drilling (ED-drilling) is a widespread machining method used to bore small holes with a high aspect ratio. This paper presents additional methods by which ED-drilling can improve machining speed, tool wear, and machined surface quality. Firstly, for high machining speed, and low tool wear, a new-type electrode that was ground on one side or both sides of the cylindrical electrodes was suggested to expel debris. The debris which is generated during the machining process can cause sludge deposition and secondary discharge problems: major reasons to decrease machining speed. This new-type electrode also reduced tool wear that was due to the decrease of unstable discharge in a machining gap by helping to expel waste water and debris from the gap. Secondly, to improve the machined surface roughness, an electrolyzation process was included after drilling. This process made the machined surface smooth by means of an electrochemical reaction between an electrode and a workpiece. In this study, the machining speed, electrode wear, and surface roughness were improved by the newtype electrode and the electrolytic process.

A friction tester to measure friction force generated at the interface between the piston ring and the cylinder liner was developed. Modified piston ring is bar-shaped and 100mm long. Surface of the modified piston ring is machined by the profile grinding machine to be formed as a shape of an arc of a circle. Measured data are treated as mean effective friction force and power loss. From this test it can be confirmed that friction force is deeply affected by surface shape of the piston ring and viscosity of supplied oil. Friction force is deeply affected by surface shape of the piston ring and viscosity of supplied oil. Friction force is decreased and power loss is increased with increasing velocity. And it is known that region of mixed lubrication is broader than estimated with theoretical analysis. it is expected that this tester can be used as the optimization tool of the surface shape of the piston ring at the first stage of development of the piston rings.

Due to the development of CNC machining centers and the complexity of machined part geometry, the ball-end milling became the most widely used the cutting process. Generally, the tool runout defined as the eccentricity of a rotating tool set in the holder involved the spindle runout and the problem of tool runout generated to remove the workpiece is a main factor affecting the machining accuracy. In this paper, the relationship of tool runout(zero-to-peak, P-K) and surface shape on the change of cutting conditions is studied and it is proposed the probability of prediction of surface shape from the in-process tool runout measurements with high response displacement sensor in the ball-end milling

This study analyzes the change of Al 6061-T6 specimen surface shape when undergoing microparticle spraying and analyzes the influence of factors on the experiment. Fine particle spraying is applied to the specimen and the surface shape of the processed surface is measured through a surface shape measuring device. The measured data was analyzed by the ANOVA method to investigate the effect of factors such as particle, nozzle diameter, pressure, injection height, and injection time on the injection depth and injection diameter.

The full sintering process of zirconia has some extent of shrinkage and the custom abutment design should consider the pre-compensation volume of the shape. In this paper, we concentrated to reveal the asymmetric sintering characteristics. The circular profile of all six samples were measured using the three dimensional coordinate machine. After the full sintering process, the profiles were measured again. The roundness were compared to those of the original shapes and the percent of shrinkage were calculated. On the other hand, surface roughness was also investigated after the full sintering process. The final average surface roughness was improved by the sintering of the machined zirconia surface.

A clear understanding of the surface formation mechanism due to cutting is very important to help produce a good quality surface. Much of the roughness along the length of a bar being cut in a lathe can be explained in terms of macroscopic tool shape and feed rate. However, the roughness along the direction of cutting requires a different explanation. The formation of surface roughness is a problem in flow and fracture of materials in the vicinity of the tool edge. On a microscopic scale the cutting edge is rounded because it is impossible to grind a perfectly sharp cutting edge. Even if a perfectly sharp cutting edge were obtained it would soon become dull as a result of rapid breakdown and wear of the cutting edge. A research project is proposed in which in the main object is to model the surface formation mechanism due to cutting. The tool was assumed to be dull, that is, its edge has a finite radius. In order to study the effect of the radius of cutting edge on the surface formation, tools having different cutting edges were used. For orthogonal cutting experiment, cast iron and glass were chosen as brittle materials. Plowing forces acting in the cutting edge were estimated and its effect on the surface roughness was studied by observing the machined surface using optical microscope.

Micro fluid channels are machined on quartz glass using powder blasting, and the machining characteristics of the channels are experimentally evaluated. The powder blasting process parameters such as injection pressure, abrasive particle size and density, stand-off distance, number of nozzle scanning, and shape/size of the required patterns affect machining results. In this study, the influence of the number of nozzle scanning, abrasive particle size, and blasting pressure on the formation of micro channels is investigated. Machined shapes and surface roughness are measured, and the results are discussed. Through the experiments and analysis, LOC are ettectinely machined on quartz glass using powder blasting.

The ball end mill is a type of cutting tool that is widely used to process complex mold shapes including aspheric surfaces. Unlike the flat end mill in which the cutting edge is formed on the cylindrical handle, the cutting edge is formed from the cylindrical handle to the hemispherical shape, which is advantageous for processing curved shapes. However, since the cutting speed continuously changes during machining due to the helix angle of the cutting edge or the machining inclination angle, it is difficult to obtain a precise machined surface. Therefore, in this paper, machining was performed while changing the helix angle of the ball end mill and the angle of the machining slope under the same cutting conditions for STD 11 material, which is widely used as a mold material. Through this, the effect of the two variables on the roughness of the machined surface was analyzed. As a result, if the helix angle was 0 degrees, it showed the best surface roughness of Ra. 0.16 ㎛. When the helix angle was 20 degrees, the best surface roughness of Ra. 0.18 ㎛ was occurred.

Ultra precision cutting should be satisfied with two conditions of Mirror Like and shape grade, and especially Mirror Like depends on surface roughness. In this study, in order to develop Mirror Cutting for Al alloy, this was done with edge form of single crystal diamond tool divided into R type and S type. Surface roughness machined by S type tool is more satisfactory than by R type tool, being the lowest value of 13.8nm. In addition, Mirror surface can reach above 90% of reflection rate by both R type and S type tool, but machined surface by R type tool has much more fine fracture portions rather than by S type tool. Even though feed rate decreases from 5.mu.m to 1.mu.m, surface roughness doesn't show improvement.
