The micro-electrical discharge machining process is hindered by low material removal rate and low surface quality, which bound its capability. The assistance of ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force in micro-electrical discharge machining helps to overcome this limitation and increase the stability of the machining process. In the present research, an attempt has been made on Taguchi based GRA optimization for µEDM assisted with ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force while µEDM of SKD-5 die steel with the tubular copper electrode. The process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration, magnetic pulling force, tool rotation, energy and feed rate have been chosen as process variables. Material removal rate and taper of the feature have been selected as response measures. From the experimental study, it has been found that response output measures have been significantly improved by 18% as compared to non assisted µEDM. The best optimal combination of input parameters for improved performance measures were recorded as machining with ultrasonic vibration (U1), 0.25 kgf of magnetic pulling force (M1), 600 rpm of tool rotation (R2), 3.38 mJ of energy (E3) and 1.5 mm/min of Tool feed rate (F3). The confirmation trail was also carried out for the validation of the results attained by Grey Relational Analysis and confirmed that there is a substantial improvement with both assistance applied simultaneously.

In this study, an experimental and statistic investigation approach based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) and response surface methodology (RSM) techniques was performed to find the significant main effects and two-factor interaction effects and to determine how the controllable factors such as cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut (DOC), tool nose radius, substrate and coating method of cutting tools influence surface quality in turning of AISI 1045 steel. The first optimal or near-optimal conditions for the quality of the generated surface and the second ones, including maximum material removal rate, were established using the proposed regression equations. The group mean roughness of the turned workpieces was lower from using chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-coated carbide inserts than the group means of other types of inserts; however they could not achieve the specific lowest roughness. The physical vapor deposition (PVD)-coated carbide and cermet inserts achieved the best surface quality when the specific combinations within the range interval of controllable factors were used in the experiment, showing that they may be applied to finish turning processes or even to particular high material removal rate conditions associated with the lowest roughness.

In this paper, material removal mechanism of monocrystalline silicon by chemical etching with different solutions were studied to find effective oxidant and stabilizer. Material removal mechanism by mechanical loads was analyzed based on the measured acoustic signals in the scratching processes and the observation on the scratched surfaces of silicon wafers. The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) processes of monocrystalline silicon wafers were analyzed in detail according to the observation and measurement of the polished surfaces with XRD. The results show that H2O2 is effective oxidant and KOH stabilizer. In a certain range, the higher concentration of oxidant, the higher material removal rate; the higher the polishing liquid PH value, the higher material removal rate. The polishing pressure is an important factor to obtain ultra-smooth surface without damage. Experimental results obtained silicon polishing pressure shall not exceed 42.5kPa.

The correct selection of the machining parameters is one of the most significant issues to take into consideration in Ultrasonic-assisted Electrical Discharge Machining (US-EDM) and EDM processes. In the present work, a study has been made to develop and extract statistical models to show the relationship between important machining performance data (material removal rate (MRR), tool wear ratio (TWR) and surface roughness Ra) and the input machining parameters (pulse current, and pulse-on time) in the EDM and US-EDM of AISI H13. The models obtained were used to analyze the effects of input parameters on machining performance. In addition, a comparative study was carried out to investigate the effect of ultrasonic vibration of the workpiece on machining performance. The results show that Ultrasonic vibration of the workpiece can significantly reduce the inactive pulses and improves the stability of process. Also US-EDM is effective in attaining a high material removal rate (MRR) in finishing regime in comparison with conventional EDM. The results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicate that the proposed mathematical models can adequately explain the performance within the limits of the factors being studied.

The experiment of ultrasonic assisted pulse electrochemical compound finishing is carried in this paper. The machining principle of the compound finishing is discussed in this paper. Processing experiments of compound finishing are carried out to study the effects of the main processing para- meters, including the particle size, the ultrasonic vibration amplitude, the minimum gap between the tool head and workpiece and the pulse voltage, on the material removal rate and the surface quality for hard and brittle metal materials. The curves of the corresponding relationships are also obtained. The study indicates that the processing velocity, machining accuracy and surface quality can be improved under the compound finishing, obtaining the processing technology conductions of the compound finishing.

Relative motion of single abrasive is analyzed for the different applied directions of longitudinal ultrasonic vibration, and its locus is simulated in the present paper. The research results show that the locus in two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration is only similar to that in y-direction, and both are close to sinusoid curves. The width of grooves scratched by abrasive grains y-direction (axial direction of grinding wheel) is two times of the vibration amplitude, and the material removal rate increases remarkably. In case of x-direction (tangential direction of grinding wheel) ultrasonic vibration, abrasive grains with periodic force impact material surface with high frequency vibration, which make material fracture removal easy. Therefore, the high efficiency essence of material removal in two-dimensional ultrasonic grinding is revealed in view of locus. In addition, according to the results of grinding experiments, under same conditions good surface quality can be obtained in two-dimensional ultrasonic grinding and material removal rate in common grinding is the lowest. Consequently it is further proved that the method of two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration grinding is an effective one for ceramic materials.
