| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Micro-cutting edges are often used for die cutting of such as functional films. A hardening process is needed because the ridgelines of micro-cutting edges require not only wear resistance, but also sharpness and shape accuracy. A method of laser hardening after machining for the micro-cutting edge fabrication was developed. This process uses laser hardening after shape fabrication of the micro-cutting edge in a pre-hardened steel workpiece. However, edge melting due to overheating during laser irradiation is likely to occur because the heat capacity is very small. Hence, a novel method to overcome these issues is needed. Therefore, a novel method such as micro-cutting edge shape formation after laser hardening was proposed and demonstrated its effects for micro-cutting edges. Effects of this method was investigated comparing with the method of laser hardening after machining. Some experiments results revealed applicability of the method to curve-shaped micro-cutting edges.
