Based on ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) model, kinematical formulas of elliptical vibration cutting(EVC) is established, the paper presented relationship of vibration parameters effecting on surface roughness, machining accuracy and machining efficiency, revealed UEVC characteristics of high frequency and small amplitude are more conducive to improve surface roughness, advance EVC machining efficiency. Experiences of cutting the weak rigidity workpiece by the designed adjusting frequency elliptical transducer is proved that compared conventional turning, increasing vibration frequency and decreasing amplitude are result in improve surface roughness, and compared low frequency EVC, decrease amplitude are result in reduce the height of vibration ripples in cutting direction, and advance machining efficiency. So high frequency and small amplitude EVC is more conducive to precision machining and ultra-precision machining.

Based on analysis of the micro-surface and kinematical formulas of elliptical vibration cutting(EVC), the paper presents that frequency and amplitude of vibration parameter affect surface roughness, forming accuracy and machining efficiency of weak rigidity workpiece: increase vibration frequency are result in lower vibration cutting duty cycle , lower cutting force, advancer critical speed, so advance forming accuracy and machining efficiency; decrease amplitude are result in reduce the height of vibration ripples in cutting direction , so improve surface roughness. Experiences of cutting the weak rigidity workpiece by the designed double bending hybrid vibration high transducer, verified that the high frequency elliptical vibration cutting are proved more conducive to machining weak rigidity workpiece.

Abstract The ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) technique has been found to be a promising technique for ultraprecision machining of microstructural functional surfaces. However, the current UEVC technique can’t achieve higher frequency ultrasonic cutting due to its rigid orthogonal vibration transmission. To further study the cutting mechanism and removal characteristics in high frequency UEVC of microstructural surface, the UEVC based on flexible guided wave transmission is proposed which can achieve 96.8 kHz. The influence of bending vibration of guided wave band on longitudinal vibration is elaborated with the model of the bending vibration dynamic model of the guided wave. The model of elliptical trajectory deflection of tool tip is established. Based on the theoretical modeling and finite element simulation, the residual height and material removal characteristics of elliptic trajectory with variable deflection angle are simulated and analyzed. The results show that when the deflection angle is between 10° and 70°, the tangential force is small and stable. Finally, the cutting experiments of micro-pyramid reflective mold in guided wave UEVC and conventional cutting (CC) are carried out. Compared with CC, high-frequency UEVC can obtain micro-pyramid elements with average roughness of 5.21 nm, that verifies the applicability of high-frequency UEVC in precision machining of microstructure.

Ultraprecision machining of hardened steel by the conventional cutting (CC) technique using diamond tools is impossible because of highly chemical affinity between carbon and iron at higher temperature during machining. An intermittently cutting technique, namely, ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) technique has been being applied for high-quality machining of various difficult-to-cut materials for the last decade. However, study on machining of hardened stainless steel using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools applying this cutting technique has not been reported yet. This study presents an experimental study on UEVC of hardened stainless steel (a typical Stavax of 49 HRC) using PCD tools. Face cutting experiments have been carried out to investigate the effects of conventional machining parameters: depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle rotational speed on the performance parameters such as cutting force, tool flank wear, surface roughness and chip formation. A minimum surface roughness Ra value of 10 nm, measured by a stylus profilometer, was achieved. It can be concluded that, while applying UEVC technique, the inexpensive PCD tools compared to the single crystal diamond tools can be effectively applied to obtain optical surface for producing precise dies and molds from hardened steel.

Abstract Ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) technique, as an advanced cutting method, has been successfully applied to machine difficult-to-cut materials for the last decade. In this study, the mechanism of the elliptical vibration locus caused by the “asymmetric structure” of the horn was analyzed theoretically firstly, and the corresponding relationship between the degree of asymmetry and the elliptical vibration locus was determined based on finite element method (FEM). Then an efficient single-excitation UEVC device with “asymmetric structure” was developed and optimized. The resonant frequency of the device was 40.8 kHz, and the amplitude reached 12.4 µm, which effectively broke the limitation of cutting speed in UEVC. Finally, the UEVC device's performance was tested, and the advantages in improving the tungsten alloy surface quality and reducing diamond cutting tool wear validated the technical capability and principle of the proposed device.
