In this paper, an influence of difference in work material on diamond tool wear in elliptical vibration cutting is discussed. Pure iron, carbon steel and martensitic stainless steel were chosen as work material to investigate influences of carbon contents and alloy element. Ultrasonic vibration cutting tests were carried out both in the atmosphere and vacuum environment. Only in the stainless steel cutting, large wear amount was measured and signature of significant chromium carbide formation was obtained by TOF-SIMS analysis.
