Ultrasonic assisted grinding (UAG) has been a promising solution for the machining of brittle materials. The vibration amplitude in UAG has significant influence on the machining process. In this paper, the experiments which apply UAG process on K9 glass were conducted to investigate the effect of amplitude upon grinding force and surface roughness. Theoretical calculation was done to explain the phenomenon observed and to analyze how vibration affects the grinding process. The conclusion is reached that the vibration amplitude should be cogitatively set to achieve better surface quality while realizing the reduction of the grinding force.

7075 aluminum alloy is widely used due to its great performance, especially in aerospace area. In this paper, ultrasonic-assisted grinding technology is used to process 7075 aluminum alloy. The data is obtained through experiments, and the surface roughness and morphology of ultrasonic assisted grinding and conventional grinding under different spindle speeds, feed rates, and amplitudes are analyzed. Research has found that the increase in spindle speed and amplitude will improve the quality of the machined surface and reduce the surface roughness by 82.1% and 36%. However, with the increase of feed rate, the surface quality decreased significantly, and the surface roughness increased by 55.6%. The surface micro-morphology of the machined workpiece is observed, and the effects of different processing parameters on the surface micro-morphology are obtained.

In the present work, ultrasonic assisted grinding (UAG) and conventional grinding (CG, without ultrasonic) tests of Carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix (C/SiC) composites were conducted. In addition, analysis was done by comparing the machining quality, grinding force, and specific grinding energy between the two processes. The results showed that material removal mode of carbon fiber both in CG and UAG were brittle fracture, and fracture size had no obvious difference. Compared with CG, brittle fracture area of SiC increased during UAG. In comparison with CG, the normal grinding force and tangential grinding force for UAG were reduced maximally by 45%, 39% respectively of those for CG. Accordingly, specific grinding energy was also reduced by UAG. Therefore, UAG can improve the grinding performance of C/SiC composites significantly.

This study investigates surface formation characteristics in elliptical ultrasonic assisted grinding (EUAG) of monocrystal sapphire. During EUAG process, the workpiece is imposed to ultrasonically vibrate in two directions, i.e., vertical and parallel to work-surface, by using an elliptical ultrasonic vibrator. In our previous work, the vibrator has been produced by bonding a piezoelectric ceramic device (PZT) on a metal elastic body. When two alternating current voltages with a phase difference are applied to the PZT at the same frequency that is close to the resonant frequency of the longitudinal and bending mode of the vibrator, two dimensional ultrasonic vibrations are generated simultaneously, resulting in an elliptical motion on the end face of the vibrator. In this paper, to clarify the work-surface formation characteristics in EUAG of sapphire material, grinding experiments are carried out involving sapphire substrate. In experiments, work-surface roughness is measured, and the ground work-surface morphology is examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental results are summarized as: (1) Compared with conventional grinding (CG), the elliptical vibration leads to a decrease of surface roughness up to 25% in EUAG; (2) The surface roughness has a monotonously increasing trend with the increasing wheel depth of cut in both EUAG and CG, but has little variation with the worktable feed rate. As the wheel speed increases, the surface roughness decreases until it reaches a minimum, and then increases in a monotonous trend in both EUAG and CG; (3) The surface quality in EUAG has a significant improvement, and it is prone to achieve the ductile regime grinding of sapphire compared with CG. These indicate that the elliptical ultrasonic assisted grinding is an efficient technique for high performance machining of monocrystal sapphire.

In this work, grinding test was performed in terms of machining parameters, such as grinding speed, feed rate, etc., in order to study effect of ultrasonic vibration in grinding. The design of experiment (DOE) approach was used for an optimal condition of ultrasonic assisted grinding, which can minimize the grinding forces. In DOE, ultrasonic amplitude power, feed rate, and rotation speed of spindle were chosen as the major machining factors. The grinding forces were measured and compared between the conventional grinding and ultrasonic assisted grinding. From the experiment, it was found that the grinding forces decreased as the ultrasonic vibration power and the rotation speed of spindle increased while the grinding force was reduced as the feed rate increased. In addition, regression model was formulated for obtaining optimal grinding condition.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.
