Abstract: The diamond surface polishing method according to the present invention involves polishing a polished object, the surface of which is made of diamond, by rubbing a polishing member having an elongated shape such as a linear or belt-like shape and containing at least a metal or a metal oxide against the diamond surface, wherein a pressing force of the polishing member is controlled in accordance with material properties of the polishing member and/or a shape of the polished object and a diamond crystal size in a rubbing section so that contact surface pressure in a machining area becomes uniform.
Abstract: A machining method for at least one shaping machining operation can include carrying out a machining operation over a first distance using a cutting tool which is subjected to axial oscillations as it moves forward, then reducing the amplitude of the axial oscillations while continuing to drive the cutting tool in terms of rotation.
Abstract: Methods for fabricating a honeycomb extrusion die from a die body include the step of machining extrusion slots with at least one grinding wheel to provide a honeycomb pattern of extrusion slots. In further examples, a plurality of the extrusion slots of the honeycomb pattern of extrusion slots can be machined with a wire electrical discharge machining process after machining the plurality of extrusion slots of the honeycomb pattern of extrusion slots with the grinding wheel.

Abstract: A superabrasive wire saw having a plurality of individual coated superabrasive particles attached to a wire with an organic binder is disclosed and described. The superabrasive particle can be coated with a solidified coating of a molten braze alloy that is chemically bonded to the superabrasive particle. The organic binder can optionally contain filler materials and/or an organometallic coupling agent to improve the retention of coated superabrasive particles. The resulting superabrasive wire saws can be produced having diameters of less than 0.5 mm which significantly reduce kerf loss. Various methods for making and using such a superabrasive wire saw are additionally disclosed and described.
