Fabrication of cutting tools for ultraprecision machining of tantalum and their cutting characteristics
To investigate the cutting characteristics of tantalum, three types of cutting tools were prepared. From the cutting experiments, it is found that the tool with the rake angle of 28 degrees is the most suitable for precision machining of tantalum.
