New Concept for High-Throughput Turning of Polymers

Аннотация

A new concept of high-throughput turning of polymers was presented. The concept consisted of a combination of ordinary lathe treatment with simultaneous irradiation of the workpieces by nanosecond electromagnetic pulses. As a result, the material surface structure weakened, which was a prerequisite for increasing the cutting speed. The treatment method and a device for reducing it to practice were developed and protected by patents. Experimental data confirming the effectiveness of the proposed technical solutions were presented.
