The surface roughness of machined surface is one of the important indicators to evaluate the workpiece machining quality. In order to clarify the change law of surface roughness in ultrasonic aided high-speed lapping with solid diamond abrasive, a series of ultrasonic and conventional lapping experiments of different engineering ceramics, such as Al2O3, ZrO2 and ZTA, were carried out on precision lathe with self-made high-speed ultrasonic lapping device. The research results show that the value of surface roughness in ultrasonic aided lapping is lower than that in conventional lapping. With the assistance of ultrasonic vibration, the surface quality can be improved obviously. In ultrasonic aided lapping, there is an optimum lapping pressure from which a better surface roughness value can be obtained. Because of different physical and mechanical properties, material removal mechanisms of the three kinds of engineering ceramics present different characteristics, which lead to the different surface roughness even though under the same lapping conditions. The research of the paper is helpful to optimize lapping technique and improve the surface quality.

Machined surface quality has a strong impact on the functionality of silicon carbide-based components and devices. In the present work, we first analytically investigate the complex coupling of motions in annular polishing based on the Preston equation, which derives the influential parameters for material removal. Subsequently, we conduct systematic annular polishing experiments of reaction-bonded silicon carbide to investigate the influence of derived parameters on polished surface quality, which yield optimized polishing parameters for achieving ultralow surface roughness of reaction-bonded silicon carbide.

Because of its high machining efficiency and good machining quality, ultrasonic aided high-speed lapping with solid abrasive is regarded as a good method of cylindrical machining for engineering ceramics. Compared with conventional lapping, ultrasonic aided high speed lapping has unique surface topography distribution characteristics for the difference of the surface formation mechanism and material removal mechanism. In the paper, the surface topography characteristics of engineering ceramics in different lapping mode were researched. Research results show that the lapped surfaces with and without ultrasonic assistance present different surface topography characteristics. Under the same lapping mode, the lapped surface topography is distinctly different for different ceramics. With the assistance of ultrasonic vibration, more ductile material removal can be obtained and the surface quality can be improved correspondingly.

Surface phase structure has an important effect on the surface machining quality. The surface phase transition characteristics of ZrO2 and ZTA ceramics under different machining methods were tested by X-ray diffraction in the paper. Through the qualitative and quantitative phase analyses, the influences of several different precision machining methods on the phase transitions in the machined surface were studied. Research results show that there are more transitions from tetragonal phase ZrO2 to monoclinic phase ZrO2 in the high speed grinding surface; because of the high-frequency vibration of lapping tool in ultrasonic lapping, the stress condition in the grinding area can be improved and the stable tetragonal phase ZrO2 in the ultrasonic lapped surface is easy to get. The research conclusions have important significance on analyzing the surface residual stress and improving the surface machining quality of engineering ceramics.

The surface quality generated when high speed dry end milling (HSDEM) Ti-6Al-4V-ELI titanium alloy with coated and uncoated carbide tools were investigated. Evaluation was conducted using TiAlN+TiN coated and uncoated cemented carbide tools under different high cutting speeds and feed rates conditions. Surface roughness and cutting forces were measured when using new tools. The milled surface quality and corresponding alteration were characterized through electron microscopy. Within the investigated conditions high quality surface finish was obtained on the machined surface. Increasing cutting speed from 200 to 300 m/min during the process improved the surface finished particularly under lower feed rates. In term of generated surface quality, uncoated H25 grade carbide tools out performed coated F40M grade specifically at the higher cutting conditions. The main damages observed after HSDEM on the surface for all machining conditions contain redeposited materials, feed marks, and tool edge marks. Under both tested feed rates the resultant cutting force decreased by increasing the cutting speeds and uncoated carbide tools provide the lower cutting forces compared to coated types.

Ultrasonic lapping can effectively improve machining efficiency and obtain higher machining precision, which can be as the final process. This paper discusses the ultrasonic lapping mechanism through simulating the lapping tracks. Based on the contrast experiments between common and ultrasonic lapping, the influence of different lapping parameters on material removal rate and surface roughness were studied and the surface microstructure of workpiece was analyzed. The experimental results show that material removal rate of ultrasonic lapping is nearly two times that of the common lapping, especially in ultrasonic axial lapping, and the better surface quality can be obtained during ultrasonic lapping. Meanwhile, the reasons for material removal rate increasing and surface quality improving were analyzed.

Among advanced cutting methods, High Speed Milling (HSM) is often recommended to improve the productivity and to reduce the costs of machining parts. As every cutting process, HSM is characterized by some defects like surface roughness and delamination are the main defects generated in composite materials. The aim of this experimental work is the studying of the machining quality of woven Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using the HSM technology. Experiments were done using different machining parameters combinations to make opened holes in CFRP laminates. This study investigated the effect of cutting speed, orbital feed speed, hole diameter on the delamination defect and surface roughness responses generated in the drilled holes. The design of experimental tests was generated using the approach of Central Composite Design (CCD). The characterization of these responses was treated with the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that the surface roughness is highly affected by the orbital feed speed (F) with contribution of 22.45%. The delamination factor at entry and exit of holes is strongly influenced by the hole diameter D (25.97% and 57.43%) respectively. The developed model equations gave a good correlation between the empirical and predicted results. The optimization of the milling parameters was treated using desirability function to minimize the surface roughness (Ra) and the delamination factor simultaneously.
