This paper describes an investigation about the fluid delivering method that minimizes the generation of hydrodynamic pressure and improves the grinding accuracy. Traditionally, grinding fluid is delivered for the purpose of cooling, chip flushing and lubrication. Hence, a number of conventional investigations are focused on the delivering method to maximize fluid flux into the contact arc between the grinding wheel and the work piece. It is already known that hydrodynamic pressure generates due to this fluid flux, and that it affects the overall grinding resistance and machining accuracy. Especially in the ultra-precision mirror grinding process that requires extremely small amount of cut per pass, its influence on the machining accuracy becomes more significant. Therefore, in this paper, a new delivering method of grinding fluid is proposed with focus on minimizing the hydrodynamic pressure effect. Experimental data indicates that the proposed method is effective not only to minimize the hydrodynamic pressure but also to improve the machining accuracy.

Recently, the advanced industries using micro parts are rapidly growing. The appearance of ultra-precision feed mechanism and the development of control system make it possible to process parts in sub millimeter scale by mechanical methods. Micro endmilling is one of the prominent technology that has wide spectrum of application field ranging from macro parts to micro products. So, micro stairs have been trying to cut by using high revolution air turbine spindle and micro-endmill, and studying for magnitude of cutting force. This investigation deals removal characteristics of burr generated by micro endmilling process. Also, decreasing of burr is significant problem in making smooth and precise parts in micro endmilling. In micro endmilling, the material removal rate(MRR) and cutting forces are very small. This paper presents an investigation on the machining characteristics for micro stairs by using ultrahigh-speed air turbine spindle in machining.

Laser beam machining has been known as efficient for glass micromachining. It is usually used the ultra-short pulsed laser which is time-consuming and uneconomic process. In order to use economic and powerful long pulsed laser, indirect processing called laser-induced backside wet etching (LIBWE) is good alternative method. In this paper, micromachining of glass using Nd:YAG laser with nanosecond pulsed beam has been attempted. In order to improve shape accuracy, combined processing with magnetic stirrer has been widely used. Magnetic stirrer acts to circulate the solution and remove the bubble but it is not suitable for deep hole machining. To get better effect, ultrasonic vibration was applied for improving shape accuracy.

Micro electrochemical machining (ECM) is conducted on stainless steel 304 using non-toxic electrolyte of citric acid. Electrochemical dissolution region is minimized by applying a few hundred second duration pulses between the tungsten SPM tip and the work material. ECM characteristics according to citric acid concentration, feeding velocity and electric conditions such as pulse amplitude, pulse frequency, and offset voltage are investigated through a series of experiments. Micro holes of $60{\mu}m$ in diameter with the depth of $50{\mu}m$ and $90{\mu}m$ in diameter with the depth of $100{\mu}m$ are perforated. Square and circular micro cavities are also manufactured by electrochemical milling. This research can contribute to the development of safe and environmentally friendly micro ECM process.

This study aims to find the optimal cutting conditions, when are nonferrous metals(aluminum and silicon) are machined with diamond tool of diamond turning machine. Diamond turning machine has been widely used in manufacturing optical reflectors of nonferrous metals. Such as aluminium and copper are easy to be machined because of their proper ductility. But optical crystals being discussed here are characterized by their high brittleness which makes it difficult to obtain high quality optical surfaces on them. The purpose of this study is to find the optimum machining conditions for ductile cutting of silicon and aluminium.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

A 110mm diameter aspheric metal secondary mirror for a test model of an earth observation satellite camera was fabricated by ultra-precision single point diamond turning(SPDT). Aluminum alloy for mirror substrates is known to be easily machinable, but not polishable due to its ductility. A harder material, Ni, is usually electrolessly coated on an Al substrate to increase the surface hardness for optical polishing. Aspheric metal secondary mirror without a conventional polishing process, the surface roughness of Ra=10nm, and the form error of Ra=λ/12(λ=632nm) has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for reflector cutting of electroless-Ni coated Al alloy and apply the SPDT technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of metal aspheric reflector.

High speed cutting is a machining process which cuts materials with the fast movement and rotation of a spindle in a machine tool. High speed cutting leaves a plastically deformed layer on the machined surface. This deformed layer affects in various forms to the surface roughness of machined parts such as the dimensional instability, the micro crack. The surface roughness is called surface integrity which is very important in precision cutting. This paper aims to study on the machined surfaces characteristics of aluminum alloy and brass by AFM(Atomic force microscope) measurement. The objective is contribution to ultra- precision cutting by exhibit foundation data of surface roughness and tool wear when parts are cutting with diamond tool at the factory.
