Abstract
For the technology of diamond cutting of optical glass, the high tool wear rate is a main reason for hindering the practical application of this technology. Minimizing the tool wear is of great significance in order to achieve the satisfactory surface quality and dimensional accuracy. For in depth understanding of the tool wear mechanisms, experiments of diamond turning with cutting distance increased gradually was carried out on soda-lime glass in this work. Experimental results indicate that the flank wear was predominant in diamond cutting glass and the flank wear land was characterized by micro-grooves, some smooth crater on the rake face was also seen. The mainly mechanisms inducing tool wear in diamond cutting of glass are diffusion, mechanical friction, thermo-chemical action and abrasive wear.
