Mechanism of chip formation and surface-defects in orthogonal cutting of soft-brittle potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals

Micromachining repair of surface defects on KH2PO4 (KDP) optics is an emerging technique in the construction of Inertial Confinement Fusion facilities for obtaining clean nuclear fusion energy. However, this method is yet facing considerable challenges owing to the soft-brittle nature of single-crys...
