Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research is to develop a process chain for advanced diamond machining using femtosecond laser processing and plasma-assisted technology. Using the atmospheric pressure plasma jet, the coolant effect during machining was enhanced and machining performance of the microdiamond tool was maximized. The significant effect of using plasma-assisted coolant in high-purity SiC micromilling with a ball end mill composed of nanopolycrystalline diamond (NPD) was confirmed. To establish an efficient and rapid forming process for NPD tools, a processing system was developed that uses femtosecond laser and on-machine measuring systems to produce highly efficient NPD tools in a few minutes. To evaluate the performance of the manufactured tools, high-precision milling of the sapphire capillary, which is a key element of the laser-plasma accelerator, was conducted and successful results were obtained.
