Research status analysis and review of micro cutting tools
The urgent demand for tiny parts and products in many industries has promoted the rapid development of microfabrica-tion technology.As one of the most promising microfabrication technologies,micro cutting technology can efficiently and accurately generate complex features in metals,ceramics,polymers and composite materials,and is widely used in medical,com-munications and aerospace fields.Micro cutting tools have been widely concerned by the industry and researchers as a key factor which can affecting the machining quality of micro cutting technology.The latest achievements and development of micro cutting tools were reviewed and discussed.The development status and performance of micro milling,micro turning,micro drilling and mi-cro grinding tools were emphatically discussed and analyzed,and the failure analysis,monitoring and coating of micro cutting tools were introduced in detail.Finally,the possible development trend and research direction of micro cutting tools in the future were emphasized,hoping that can provides important reference for the researchers of micro cutting tools.
