Tangential ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (TUAG) has a wide prospect in machining difficult-to-machine materials. However, the surface generation mechanism in TUAG is not fully recovered. This study proposes an analytical model of the surface topography produced by TUAG. Based on the model, the surface topography and roughness are predicted and experimentally verified. In addition, the influence of the grinding parameters on the surface topography is analyzed. The predicted surface topography well coincides with experimental measurements, and the prediction error in surface roughness Ra by the proposed model is less than 5%. Compared with conventional grinding, TUAG produces a surface with more uniform scratches and surface roughness Ra was reduced by up to 27% with the proper parameters. However, the improvement of surface roughness in TUAG is weakened when grinding speed or depth of cut increases. Moreover, the influence of the ultrasonic vibration amplitude on the surface roughness is not monotonous. With the grinding parameters selected in this study, TUAG with an ultrasonic amplitude of 7.5 μm produces the minimum surface roughness.

Net Shaping

Laser engineered net shaping (LENS) has become a promising technology in direct manufacturing or repairing of high-performance metal parts. Investigations on LENS manufacturing of Inconel 718 (IN718) parts have been conducted for potential applications in the aircraft turbine component manufacturing or repairing. Fabrication defects, such as pores and heterogeneous microstructures, are inevitably induced in the parts, affecting part qualities and mechanical properties. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate a high-efficiency LENS process for the high-quality IN718 part fabrication. Ultrasonic vibration has been implemented into various melting material solidification processes for part performance improvements. However, there is a lack of studies on the utilization of ultrasonic vibration in LENS process for IN718 part manufacturing. In this paper, ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UV-A) LENS process is, thus, proposed to fabricate IN718 parts for the potential reduction of fabrication defects. Experimental investigations are conducted to study the effects of ultrasonic vibration on microstructures and mechanical properties of LENS-fabricated parts under two levels of laser power. The results showed that ultrasonic vibration could reduce the mean porosity to 0.1%, refine the microstructure with an average grain size of 5 μm, and fragment the detrimental Laves precipitated phase into small particles in a uniform distribution, thus enhancing yield strength, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), microhardness, and wear resistance of the fabricated IN718 parts.

This research study focuses on the experimental analysis of the three-dimensional (3D) surface topography and surface roughness of the workpiece machined with ultrasonic vibration assisted turning (UAT) in comparison to conventional turning (CT). For the challenge that machining difficulties of 304 austenitic stainless steel (ASS 304) and high demands for the machined surface quality and machining precision represent, starting with cutting principle and processing technology, the ultrasonic vibration method is employed to scheme out a machining system of ultrasonic vibration assisted turning (MS-UAT). The experiments for turning the workpiece of ASS 304 are conducted with and without ultrasonic vibration using the designed MS-UAT, and then the 3D morphology evaluation parametersSaandSqare applied to characterize and analyse the machined surface. The experimental results obtained demonstrate that the process parameters in UAT of ASS 304 have obvious effect on the 3D surface topography and surface roughness of machined workpiece, and the appropriate choice of various process parameters, including ultrasonic amplitude, feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting speed, can enhance the machined surface quality efficiently to make the machining effect of UAT much better than that of CT.

Ultrasonic-vibration-assisted milling is a variant of conventional milling process. In this study, experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the effect of process parameters on the average surface roughness of machined surface (of Al6063 alloy). The results were evaluated to understand the effect of process parameters and are explained using the physics of the process. The effect of ultrasonic amplitude on frictional and wettability property of machined bottom surface was also evaluated. With the increase in power of ultrasonic vibration, the surface roughness increased; however, the friction of lubricated machined surface decreased while sliding on a mild steel surface. With the increase in ultrasonic power, the wettability of the surface increased resulting in a better lubrication and consequent reduction of friction.

Micro Morphology

This paper performed a series of experimental investigations for typical die steels with ultrasonic vibration assisted turning. The micro-morphology of rake face and flank face of diamond was detected by scanning electron microscopy, and the roughness of machined surface was measured by Form Talysurf. In order to clarify the influence laws of cutting parameters and tool geometric parameters on tool wear and surface quality. The results revealed that the wear of diamond and surface roughness rely heavily on the feed rate, and have less relativity with the relief angle and the depth of cut to an extent. In addition, the function mechanism of ultrasonic vibration turning had been analyzed, it exhibited that this technological measure has enhanced tool life and improved surface quality to a large extent.
