That's an interesting idea. It is well known that UNDEFORMED chip thickness plays an important role in determining whether ductile-regime machining is taking place, which is the only way to machine brittle materials. I am not sure about deformed/post-machining chip thickness though... I'll...
I should note that the general methodology is to look at your surface finish, as you state... but what if you can't do that?
It's more of a philosophical question. What methodology could you use to determine the machining parameters of an unknown material without analysing your previous cuts...
I've not idea how anybody could machine a material with a single pole double throw switch... There really should be no confusion that I'm talking about single point diamond turning...
Hi there,
If I have a new material in my shop and I want to single point diamond turn it, obviously, I don't really want to go through the hassle of machining different diameters with different parameters, taking the workpiece to a laboratory and analysing the surface parameters.
How do...
It's a VNA so it won't be getting used anywhere near DC. It's minimum operable frequency is probably hundreds of Hz away from DC... Or am I misunderstanding your answer?
Hi there,
I performed some SPDT of Si (111) and am looking to analyse the cutting force data obtained.
Unfortunately, the force readings stopped midway through, and I had to reset the machine and restart the force measurements (see long blue line in attached image).
I end up obtaining the...
The VNA I'm currently using has some oxidization/corrosion on the outer rim of the ports. I wonder if this will have an effect on measurements taken? (I have no idea how the corrosion happened)
In my mind, the wavelength of frequencies is naturally much larger than the tiny pits caused by the...
Great! I suspected this was the case, thank you for linking the relevant ISO standard.
There are some other foreign parts of this drawing to me. Is it OK to ask them in replies to this post or is it a forum rule to ask them in separate posts?
I imagine this Microwave Frequency Stabilizer would be useful in any system where resonance is of interest i.e. microwave cavities in EPR spectroscopy. See Irving Goldstein's, "Frequency Stabilization of a Microwave Oscillator with an External Cavity", also have a look at the patent: Microwave...
Hi there,
Can somebody please take the time to explain the relevance/correct interpretation of this tolerance feature? I'm not a mechanical engineer by training (electronic), so this is all a little new to me.
The drawing declares general tolerance to ISO 2768-M. I'm specifically referring...
