Machining Test under External hydrostatic Pressure(Advanced machining technology (continued))

Abstract

This paper reports on a new machining device developed for experimental study on machining property of hard-brittle material under external hydrostatic pressure. The machining device enables two dimensional machining tests under hydrostatic pressure, and in situ observation of a machining process by an optical microscope. Detail of structure of the device is reported in the paper. Some results of machining tests using a soda glass is also reported.
