Phase transformation and subsurface damage formation in the ultrafine machining process of a diamond substrate through atomistic simulation

Abstract This report explores the effects of machining depth, velocity, temperature, multi-machining, and grain size on the tribological properties of a diamond substrate. The results show that the appearance of graphite atoms can assist the machining process as it reduces the force. Moreover, the n...
