Coherence Scanning Interferometry (CSI) has been commonly employed for simultaneous measurement of film thickness distribution and surface profile, it has limitations when applied to submicron-thick films or films with unknown refractive indices. In this study, we propose a method that integrates CSI with spectroscopic ellipsometry. This method enables thin-film thickness measurement without requiring prior knowledge of the refractive index, which is generally difficult to achieve with conventional approaches. In this paper, the proposed method is implemented in a Mirau-type interferometric system and experimentally validated using a 1-µm-thick SiO₂ thin-film sample on a silicon substrate.

It affects the surface integrity, tool conditions, and accuracy of the produced parts. The method to identify the stages of BUE formation without interrupting the process remains unclear. This work investigates the correlation of BUE formation during dry orthogonal cutting of C45 steel with uncoated carbide inserts to the chip characteristics. Firstly, by analysing the measured cutting force, the change in cutting-edge radius during cutting is explained by the BUE accumulation. Then, BUE formation stages are correlated with chip condition, including the presence of deformation bands, underside chip roughness and shear angle, and thickness, curling, chemical composition and colour of the chips. Two cutting tests were conducted at two feed rates and a constant speed. In each test, the chips were collected in three transient regions: Beginning, middle, and end of the cut. Then, each test is repeated under the same cutting conditions, and the produced chips were collected and analysed. In each transient region, five chip segments were collected and analysed. The cutting force reflects a change in process mechanics evidenced by radial force surpassing the tangential component during the cut, which is due to the increased cutting-edge radius with the continuous progression of BUE formation. The findings for the chip under these conditions indicate reduction in chip underside roughness along the cutting process, an increase in chip thickness, and straightening of the chip shape. The chemical composition analysis of the chip underside shows a decrease in carbon content and an increase in oxygen content as the cutting progresses. The chip colour indicates a transition from dark blue at the beginning of the cut to grey at the end. As a result, this study advances knowledge of the stages of built-up edge formation by investigating chip conditions.</div><div><span><span><span><svg><path></path></svg><span><span>Download: <span>Download Acrobat PDF file (830KB)</span></span></span></span></span></span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":20535,"journal":{"name":"Procedia CIRP","volume":"144 ","pages":"Pages 516-521"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148661081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Measured thermomechanical loads and resulting residual stress profiles were linked to the resulting machining distortion to understand relationships detect parameter dependency. The results show that mechanical generation mechanisms of residual stresses dominate within the tested parameter range, forming compressive stresses in the subsurface.
