nickel coating process. diamond cutting of the nickel layer.,disadvantages of nickel-plated molds: nickel plating is very time and cost consuming low hardness and thus short life time low temperature stability can not be used for hot pressing of glass therefore, many optics need to be replicated by hardened steel molds.,established process for manufacturing hardened steel molds: sculpturing of the steel mold by end milling / grinding / edm polishing to mirror surface disadvantages of this process: low efficiency and high cost polishing cause surface shape deterioration complex surface structure can not be produced,why not use single point diamond turning to replace these stupid processes ?,the affinity between the carbon (diamond) and the iron (work piece) leads to excessive tool wear and decreased surface quality in conventional diamond cutting of steel. therefore, diamond machining is conventionally limited to nonferrous materials.,in order to overcome this problem, extensive
