Abstract
The role of hydrostatic pressure in the ductile machining of silicon is dem onstrated experimentally using a single crystal diamond tool with a large n egative rake (-40 degrees) and a high side cutting edge angle (SCEA) (simil ar to 88 degrees) and undeformed chip thickness in the nanometric range (si milar to 50 nm) using an ultraprecision machine tool and a special machinin g stage inside a high external hydrostatic pressure (similar to 400 MPa) ap paratus.
