Speech Title:
Unlocking Ductile Machining of Hard and Brittle Materials: Mechanism and ThresholdModelling
Abstract:
Achieving ductile-mode material removal is crucial for enhancing the surface quality of hard and brittlematerials, particularly when aiming for atomic-level finishes. Over the past few decades, researchers inabrasive machining have dedicated considerable effort to investigating the underlying mechanisms tooptimize machining processes. In this keynote presentation, I will provide a systematic review ofprevious research on ductile-mode removal in hard and brittle materials. The discussion will focus on thetheoretical foundations of ductile-mode machining and the impact of threshold fracture mechanisms onmaterial removal models. I will also present case studies on material removal mechanisms and grindingprocess development for semiconductor crystal materials. Finally, I will highlight key challenges in thefuture that must be addressed to advance ductile-mode machining of hard and brittle materials.
