Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM. Then we can construct a timelapse of those images to see what metal looks like under extreme magnification when being cut!

@@TheLtVoss Isn't mild steel more ductile than 6061? If I'm remembering the young's modulus graph I think mild steel goes from elastic to plastic later than 6061. But, I'd have to look to be sure. Copper is, counterintuitively, stronger than steel or AL. When we talk about material properties, we sometimes mix up the nomenclature in regular conversation.

As a materials scientist and engineneer, I absolutely love the close-up cutting action you've managed to capture! One word of caution though! And that word is "galling" or, if I use two words, "cold welding". Your stop-motion capture allowed oxygen to get in contact with all metal surfaces in between each capture. This has an unseen benefit of letting the newly created aluminium (aluminum) surface react with air to self-seal itself with a natural oxide layer. This alumina layer will act as a barrier between direct metal-to-metal unlubricated sliding contact and prevent galling. Once you do the cutting and image capturing in an _uninterrupted_ hard vacuum you'll have a much higher chance of two metal surfaces cold-welding to each other because no protective oxide layer can be formed that would reduce the chance of galling to occur.
