Ultra-precision machining of electroless nickel

Surfaces of the popular materilas machined by diamond tools are ruined easily by abrasion and corrosion. An attractive metal in these fields is nickel-phosphorus alloy. This material is hard, corrosion resistant and its properties can be customised by changing phosphorus content. This book focuses on the optimization of machining parameters and phosphorus content of electroless-nickel during ultra-precision machining of this material. In addition, this book presents the effects of origin of diamond tool, phosphorus content, depth of cut, crystal orientation of cutting edge and rake angle on surface finish, tool wear and cutting forces for a very long cutting distance (202.8 km)
