    Effective Dynamometer for Measuring High Dynamic Process Force Signals in Micro Machining Operations

    No full text
    The authors present an innovative piezoelectric dynamometer (MicroDyn) providing the base for measuring high frequency signals in micro machining operations. Cutting tools with one or more cutting edges used in micro machining processes are mostly running with rotational speeds of more than 100’000 rpm, resulting in high excitation frequency. Thus, the interference of the excitation frequency of those processes with the natural frequency of commercially available dynamometers makes it impossible to measure process forces within a wide frequency range. This paper presents the dynamometer design, results of various laboratory tests and first cutting force measurements taken from high dynamic cutting processes as single grain cutting.ISSN:2212-827

    Microstructure and Mechanical Performance of Cu-Sn-Ti-Based Active Braze Alloy Containing In Situ Formed Nano-Sized TiC Particles

    A Cu-Sn-Ti-based active brazing filler alloy was in situ reinforced with nanosized TiC particles by adding different amounts of a cellulose nitride-based binder. The TiC particles emanate from a reaction of the Ti within the filler alloy with the carbon from the binder that does not decompose completely during heating. The correlation between the microstructure and mechanical performance was studied. In addition, the effect of different binder amounts on the shear strength and cutting performance of brazed diamond grains was studied in shear tests and single grain cutting tests. The results clearly show that the mechanical performance of the brazed diamond grains can be improved by the formation of TiC particles. This is attributed to particle strengthening of the filler alloy matrix as well as to the decreasing grain size and more homogeneous distribution of the (Cu,Sn)3Ti5 phase with increasing amount of binder
