    • Comparing the adhesion of aluminum to nanocrystalline diamond and tungsten carbide: Consequences for micromanufacturing 

      Adiga, Vivekananda P.; Sanon, Saahil; Torres, Christopher D.; Heaney, Patrick J.; Sumant, Anirudha V.; Pfefferkorn, Frank E.; Carpick, Robert W. (5th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2010), 2010-04-05)
      Tungsten carbide (WC) micro end mills exhibit a high wear rate, and when cutting soft materials such as aluminum, the chips tend to adhere to the cutting tool increasing the cutting force and leading to clogging and ...
    • Experimental Study of the Wear of Diamond Coated Micro End Mills 

      Torres, Christopher D.; Boyat, Alexandra M.; Adiga, Vivekananda P.; Sumant, Anirudha V.; Carpick, Robert W.; Pfefferkorn, Frank E. (5th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2010)5th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2010), 2010-04-05)
      The demand for the miniaturization of complex components has led to the growth of manufacturing methods capable of producing truly three dimensional parts using traditional en-gineering materials with favorable mechanical ...
    • Observation of Tool Life of Micro End Mills 

      Martin, Blair; Morrow, Justin; Heaney, Patrick; Pfefferkorn, Frank (8th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2013), 2013-03-25)
      Prediction of mechanical machining tool life is an integral part of commercial manufacturing. Failure of micro end mills is still not well understood, and further work needs to be done to accurately predict tool life. The ...
    • Seedless, Etchless Deposition of Nanocrystalline Diamond Coatings for Performance Improvements of Micro End Mills using Carbon Ion Implantation 

      Torres, Christopher D.; Heaney, Patrick J.; Sridharan, Kumar; Cao, Guoping; Sumant, Anirudha V.; Carpick, Robert W.; Pfefferkorn, Frank E. (6th International Conference on MicroManufacturing (ICOMM 2011), 2011-03-07)
      This study compares the cutting performance of (1) as-received uncoated, (2) acid etched plus seeded plus nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coated, (3) carbon ion implanted (CII) plus NCD coated, and (4) only CII micro end mills.
