A critical speed formula was given based on the analysis of kinematic characteristics during tangential ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding (TUAG) process. By the formula, the machining parameters can be correctly set to insure the separate characteristics of TUAG process. The grinding force can be decreased and the machining surface quality can be improved during TUAG process with separability. Grinding experiments were conducted, and the experiment results are in good agreement with theory analysis results.

Abstract Composite manufacturing with multiple energy fields is an important source of processing technology innovation. In this work, comparative experiments on the conventional grinding (CG) and ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (UVAG) of hardened GCr15 steel were conducted with WA wheel. The grinding wheel wear patterns and chips were characterized. In addition, grinding force, force ratio, and ground surface quality were investigated to evaluate wheel performance. Results illustrate that the interaction between abrasive grains and workpiece in UVAG process has the characteristics of high frequency and discontinuity. The wear property of abrasive grains is changed and the grinding force is decreased because the generation of micro-fracture in abrasive grains improves the grinding wheel self-sharpening. Better surface quality is obtained, the surface roughness is reduced by up to 18.96%, and the number of defects on the machined surface is reduced through the superior reciprocating ironing of UVAG. Accordingly, WA wheel performance is improved by UVAG.

This paper presents a fundamental investigation of the surface generating mechanisms involved in Tangential ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding (TUAG) for Titanium alloys processing. The relationship between ultrasonic vibration, grinding parameters and surface quality is illuminated; the grain paths chasing phenomena is pointed out to describe the surface forming, the surface topography and micro structure are studied and analyzed by a series of experiments. The influence of grain paths overlap and interfere on surface roughness and grinding force are studied respectively. A series of experiments designed by three-variable four-level fractional factorial is used to evaluate the machining performance. The experimental results are employed to clarify the surface features of Titanium alloys fabricated by ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding, in order to explain the interaction effects of the ultrasonic parameters on material removal rate, grinding force and surface quality. Experimental results show that the grinding force of TUAG is less than that of CG. At the spindle speed of 2000rpm, the grinding force in TUAG is 13N less than that in CG, which greatly optimizes the machining process and improves the surface machining quality.

With excellent properties, high-temperature superalloys have become the main application materials for aircraft engines, gas turbines, and many other devices. However, superalloys are typically difficult to machine, especially for the thread cutting. In this article, an ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning system is proposed for thread cutting operations in superalloys. A theoretical analysis of ultrasonic vibration–assisted thread cutting is carried out. An ultrasonic vibration–assisted system was integrated into a standard lathe to demonstrate thread turning in Inconel 718 superalloy. The influence of ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining on workpiece surface quality, chip shape, and tool wear was analyzed. The relationship between machining parameters and ultrasonic vibration–assisted processing performance was also explored. By analyzing the motion relationship between tool path and workpiece surface, the reasons for improved workpiece surface quality by ultrasonic vibration–assisted machining were explained.

In this paper, the characteristic of grinding force in two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding nano-ceramic was studied by experiment based on indentation fracture mechanics, and mathematical model of grinding force was established. The study shows that grinding force mainly result from the impact of the grains on the workpiece in ultrasonic grinding, and the pulse power is much larger than normal grinding force. The ultrasonic vibration frequency is so high and the contact time of grains with the workpiece is so short that the pulse force will be balanced by reaction force from workpiece. In grinding workpiece was loaded by the periodical stress field, which accelerates the fatigue fracture.

Ultrasonic vibration assisted micro end grinding (UAMEG) is a promising processing method for micro parts made of hard and brittle materials. First, the influence of ultrasonic assistance on the mechanism of this processing technology is theoretically analyzed. Then, in order to reveal the effects of ultrasonic vibration and grinding parameters on grinding forces and surface quality, contrast grinding tests of silica glass with and without ultrasonic assistance using micro radial electroplated diamond wheel are conducted. The grinding forces are measured using a three-component dynamometer. The surface characteristics are detected using the scanning electron microscope. The experiment results demonstrate that grinding forces are significantly reduced by introducing ultrasonic vibration into conventional micro end grinding (CMEG) of silica glass; ultrasonic assistance causes inhibiting effect on variation percentages of tangential grinding force with grinding parameters; ductile machining is easier to be achieved and surface quality is obviously improved due to ultrasonic assistance in UAMEG. Therefore, larger grinding depth and feed rate adopted in UAMEG can lead to the improvement of removal rate and machining efficiency compared with CMEG.

The effects of ultrasonic frequency on the grinding force and surface quality were analyzed from the grinding experiment on ZTA nano-composite ceramics. The results indicate that, in the same parameters, ultrasonic normal grinding force is about 65 to 85 percents of the ordinary grinding condition, and the surface quality is better than that of ordinary grinding condition, as the frequency increasing, this trend will be more evident. The reasons for it were also discussed from microscopic and the nonlocal theory in this paper.

In this research, the main purpose was to study the applicability of a machining method on microscale medical-equipment manufacturing. The characteristics of wire electrochemical micromachining (WECMM) against NiTi 50-50 wire was investigated. The study utilized a tungsten wire 0.03 mm in diameter as an electrode to cut a fine slot into the nickel–titanium wire. In order to reach a high-precision WECMM finish, an ultrashort pulse power generator was used as a power source to minimize the stray current effect, thus improving the machining accuracy. During the process, various machining parameters were tested for their effects on machining characteristics. In addition, ultrasonic-vibration-aided WECMM was investigated to determine whether it benefited the machining characteristics. The experiment’s results showed that under such an experiment setting, microslots can be successfully manufactured. Furthermore, with the advance adjustment of experimental parameters, the machining accuracy was improved. Finally, a fine slot was manufactured under the optimum experiment parameters and aided by ultrasonic vibration.

Abstract In this article, the laser-assisted ultrasonic vibration dressing technique was applied to the cubic boron nitride (CBN) grinding wheel to study the effect of various process parameters (namely, laser power, dressing depth, feed rate, and grinding wheel speed) on the grinding force, surface quality, and morphological evolution of CBN abrasive particles. The results showed that abrasive particles’ morphology mainly undergoes micro-crushing, local crushing, large-area crushing, macro-crushing, and other morphological changes. The dressing force can be effectively reduced by controlling the dressing process parameters. Besides, grinding tests are performed on the grinding wheel after dressing to reveal specimens’ surface quality. Excellent grinding characteristics and grinding quality of the grinding wheel were obtained by the proposed technique with the optimized process parameters.
