Effect of cutting conditions on surface roughness of aluminum target

In this paper, the Al target in ICF experiment was produced by single point diamond turning technology. The effect of turning process on the surface roughness of Al target was discussed. The experiment results have demonstrated that lower surface roughness of Al target can be fabricated with smaller feed speed and higher spindle rotate speed. The surface roughness was analyzed by means of Form Talysurf device. The result showed that the surface roughness of the aluminum target was less than 50 nm.
