Achieving tip-based down-milling forming of nanograting structures with variable heights through precise control of nano revolving trajectories by Bo Xue, Huilin Yan, Zhengchang Liu, Yongda Yan, Yanquan Geng

“…By analyzing the forming mechanisms of nanogratings under various trajectories with finite element simulation, the desired undeformed grating area is successfully achieved, which is mainly extruded by the tip flank face to form the right facet of the grating, resulting in a small deformation degree and a high deformation efficiency. Three distinct types of revolving trajectories are filtered out according to five quantitative evaluation indicators for machining performance, namely material plastic deformation, grating profile consistency, grating height consistency, machining forces, and area transforming height, and then are compared in processing nanogratings with different heights. …”
