Title: The Evalution of Chemical Wear on Single Crystal Diamond Tools while Diamond Turning a Binary Cu-Ni Alloy System
Author: Browy, Eric
Date Created: 2014
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Optics, Engineering
Description: The current work describes the evaluation of chemical wear on diamond tools while diamond turning copper nickel alloys of varying composition. The primary goal of my project is to quantify the chemical wear of single crystal diamond tools while di...

Title: DUCTILE MACHINING OF CRYSTALLINE MATERIALS WITH VARIABLE RAKE SINGLE POINT DIAMOND MACHINING
Author: Griffin, Adam
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: The effect of a variable rake machining process such as Fast Tool Servo (FTS) on optical IR crystalline materials isn’t well understood and can be difficult to test. This thesis proposes and develops the concept of using a 'starburst' cut geometry...
