Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM. Then we can construct a timelapse of those images to see what metal looks like under extreme magnification when being cut!

Wow. It's much less crystalline than I imagined. More like moving that clay you demonstrated on. Interesting how it pushes until the stress builds and then separates.
@TheLtVoss 11 місяців тому
Well aluminum and it alloys are known too be very ductile aka "gummy" steel would be a way better demonstrate for the cristals and well there size depends on the heat treatment and alloy

@@TheLtVoss Isn't mild steel more ductile than 6061? If I'm remembering the young's modulus graph I think mild steel goes from elastic to plastic later than 6061. But, I'd have to look to be sure. Copper is, counterintuitively, stronger than steel or AL. When we talk about material properties, we sometimes mix up the nomenclature in regular conversation.

@shannow95 11 місяців тому
Yes indeed normally at speed there's a sort of small liquid ball that forms just as the tip. There's this just right little window for cutting speed, too slow it cracks and ploughs like this video too fast and the liquid ball just melts the rest and sticks to the carbide tip

@@joshyoung1440 The blade. Never stops ,the material must flow over the raked cutting edge and become the chip or forced under the cutting edge and become the machined surface .the temperature at the stagnation point is 1200 deg C or higher depending on speeds,feed and materials, hope that helps

@Hydrazine1000 11 місяців тому
As a materials scientist and engineneer, I absolutely love the close-up cutting action you've managed to capture! One word of caution though! And that word is "galling" or, if I use two words, "cold welding". Your stop-motion capture allowed oxygen to get in contact with all metal surfaces in between each capture. This has an unseen benefit of letting the newly created aluminium (aluminum) surface react with air to self-seal itself with a natural oxide layer. This alumina layer will act as a barrier between direct metal-to-metal unlubricated sliding contact and prevent galling. Once you do the cutting and image capturing in an _uninterrupted_ hard vacuum you'll have a much higher chance of two metal surfaces cold-welding to each other because no protective oxide layer can be formed that would reduce the chance of galling to occur.

Thank you for showing us the footage right out of the gate. I hate when people make you wait around for ten minutes before showing the clip being discussed.

I'm a machinist by trade as well as a former professor. I appreciate the videos you create regarding the cause and effects of machining. These are great teaching aids both for the practitioners as well as the educators. Carry on Sir my opinion is you've found a niche in this world that is desired.

Amazing work! Really didn't expect it to look as much like clay as it does.

The finest high detailed stop motion animation ever created. It's mesmerizing.

I have nothing to add, but I feel compelled to leave a comment in appreciation for how tedious and time consuming this excellent demonstration was. You packed a lot of good information into this short video.

This was very cool. I recently saw a Japanese video from the 50's and 60's showing cutting tools in action that was done with optical microscopy.

This was so interesting! Really looking forward to seeing some harder materials being cut under the electron microscope!!

Incredible clip man. Fantastic how different materials behave under unusual perspective such as scale, temperature, time and pressure. Our human scale is but one teeny tiny setting among so many others.

Very impressive footage. I'll share this with my colleagues at ASML. Thank you for putting in the effort.

Fascinating to see the crack propagate in front of the cutting edge! I had a similar time consuming task for my masters thesis, a 15 h fatigue experiment with SEM images captured every 20 minutes. I ended up automating the entire process, took me a couple of months though!

My family has owned a machine shop for 48 years. Beyond interesting to see this so close up.

So cool thank you, very interesting how the surface looks like it becomes fibrous when it curls on itself

As a hand engraver, this is absolutely stunning to see. Thank you.

it blows my mind how much detail exists on such a small scale.

The best part is at the microscopic level, it shows that although we see it as a perfectly smooth surface, it's actually riddled with imperfections.

As an engineering student, I just love it when youtube projects like this go a little deeper under the surface (pun not intended). For my taste, too many channels just sort of scratch the surface and seem to be targeted towards "highschool kids" to get them excited about science and engineering - which in itself is perfectly fine - but I really appreciate videos and channels like this, that go a little further.

I will never forget this everytime I use my lathe. Awesome
