A Research on the UItrasonic Vibration Lapping of Natural Diamond Tools

This paper deals with a new technology for the manufacturing of natural diamond cutting tools. In order to raise the efficiency of lapping natural diamonds, the ultrasonic vibration technology is applied to the lapping process. The experimental resykts show that ultrasonic vibration lapping can greatly raise the abrasion value of diamonds. The efficiency of ultrasonic vibration lapping is 2-3 times higher than that of conventional lapping. Besides, the mechanism of why the abrasion value of diamonds in ultrasonic vibration lapping is high is also discussed in the paper.
