Theoretical and experimental investigations on rotary ultrasonic surface micro-machining of brittle materials

Many brittle materials, such as single-crystal materials, amorphous materials, and ceramics, are widely used in many industries such as the energy industry, aerospace industry, and biomedical industry. In recent years, there is an increasing demand for high-precision micro-machining of these brittle materials to produce precision functional parts. Traditional ultra-precision micro-machining can lead to workpiece cracking, low machined surface quality, and reduced tool life. To reduce and further solve these problems, a new micro-machining process is needed. As one of the nontraditional machining processes, rotary ultrasonic machining is an effective method to reduce the issues generated by traditional machining processes of brittle materials. Therefore, rotary ultrasonic micro-machining (RUμM) is investigated to conduct the surface micro-machining of brittle materials. Due to the small diameter cutting tool (<500 μm) and high accuracy requirements, the impact of input parameters in the rotary ultrasonic surface micro-machining (RUSμM) process on tool deformation and cutting quality is extremely different from that in rotary ultrasonic surface machining (RUSM) with relatively large diameter cutting tool (∼10 mm). Up till now, there is still no investigation on the effects of ultrasonic vibration (UV) and input variables (such as tool rotation speed and depth of cut) on cutting force and machined surface quality in RUSμM of brittle materials. To fill this knowledge gap, rotary ultrasonic surface micro-machining of the silicon wafer (one of the most versatile brittle materials) was conducted in this study. The effects of ultrasonic vibration, tool rotation speed, and depth of cut on tool trajectory, material removal rate (MRR), cutting force, cutting surface quality, and residual stress were investigated. Results show that the ultrasonic vibration could reduce the cutting force, improve the cutting surface quality, and suppress the residual compressive stress, especially under conditions with high tool rotation speed.

切削参数对新型光学铝级金刚石车削刀具磨损的影响

光学器件和光学测量系统的关键部件主要通过超精密加工制造。铝合金具有很多优势,通常用于光子产业。光学领域对铝合金使用和需求的不断增加,促进了在铸造过程中采用快速凝固技术对铝合金等级重新改良的发展。优异的微观结构和改进的机械和物理性能是新型铝合金等级的特点。目前主要问题在于采用金刚石车削时,由于在切削性方面缺乏对铝合金性能的充分研究,导致机械加工数据库非常有限。本文通过改变金刚石的切削参数,测量切齿安装距超过4km时金刚石刀具的磨损,研究了快速凝固铝合金RSA 905的切削性能。改变的机械加工参数为切削速度、进给速度和切削深度。结果表明切削速度对金刚石刀具的磨损影响最大。主轴转速为500rpm、进给速度为25mm/min、切削深度为15μm时,刀具磨损达到最大值12.2μm;主轴转速为1750rpm、进给速度为5mm/min、切削深度为5μm时,刀具磨损达到最小值2.45μm。通常,较高的切削速度、较低的进给速度和较短的切削深度的组合可以减少金刚石刀具磨损。建立了模型统计以分析金刚石刀具磨损。通过该模型可以生成磨损图,从而确定切削参数产生最小磨损的区域。结果证明,快速凝固铝是更好的选择,为机械工程师使用这种材料提供了参考。     

Ultrasonic excitation affects friction interactions between food materials and cutting tools

In the food industry, ultrasonic cutting is used to improve separation by a reduction of the cutting force. This reduction can be attributed to the modification of tool–workpiece interactions at the cutting edge and along the tool flanks because of the superposition of the cutting movement with ultrasonic vibration of the cutting tool. In this study, model experiments were used to analyze friction between the flanks of a cutting tool and the material to be cut. Friction force at a commercial cutting sonotrode was quantified using combined cutting–friction experiments, and sliding friction tests were carried out by adapting a standard draw-off assembly and using an ultrasonic welding sonotrode as sliding surface. The impact of material parameters, ultrasonic amplitude, and the texture of the contacting food surface on friction force was investigated. The results show that ultrasonic vibration significantly reduces the sliding friction force. While the amplitude showed no influence within the tested range, the texture of the contact surface of the food affects the intensity of ultrasonic transportation effects. These effects are a result of mechanical interactions and of changes in material properties of the contact layer, which are induced by the deformation of contact points, friction heating and absorption heating because of the dissipation of mechanical vibration energy.     

Condition monitoring of turning process using infrared thermography technique – An experimental approach

In metal cutting machining, major factors that affect the cutting tool life are machine tool vibrations, tool tip/chip temperature and surface roughness along with machining parameters like cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool geometry, etc., so it becomes important for the manufacturing industry to find the suitable levels of process parameters for obtaining maintaining tool life. Heat generation in cutting was always a main topic to be studied in machining. Recent advancement in signal processing and information technology has resulted in the use of multiple sensors for development of the effective monitoring of tool condition monitoring systems with improved accuracy. From a process improvement point of view, it is definitely more advantageous to proactively monitor quality directly in the process instead of the product, so that the consequences of a defective part can be minimized or even eliminated.In the present work, a real time process monitoring method is explored using multiple sensors. It focuses on the development of a test bed for monitoring the tool condition in turning of AISI 316L steel by using both coated and uncoated carbide inserts. Proposed tool condition monitoring (TCM) is evaluated in the high speed turning using multiple sensors such as Laser Doppler vibrometer and infrared thermography technique. The results indicate the feasibility of using the dominant frequency of the vibration signals for the monitoring of high speed turning operations along with temperatures gradient. A possible correlation is identified in both regular and irregular cutting tool wear. While cutting speed and feed rate proved to be influential parameter on the depicted temperatures and depth of cut to be less influential. Generally, it is observed that lower heat and temperatures are generated when coated inserts are employed. It is found that cutting temperatures are gradually increased as edge wear and deformation developed.

Morphology and distribution of subsurface damage in optical fused silica parts: Bound-abrasive grinding

The depth and morphology of subsurface damage (SSD) in fused silica samples ground with diamond grinding wheels were investigated. The factors possibly influencing the SSD depth of ground samples were examined. The results demonstrate that the SSD depth is most responsive to diamond grit size while the processing parameters (i.e. depth of cut, feed rate, and wheel peripheral speed) have marginal effects on the SSD depth. The SSD depth decreases with the abrasive/grit size of diamond wheels and slightly diminishes with the decrease of cutting depth but little influenced by feeding rate and wheel speed. The morphology inspection shows that the density of subsurface cracks in ground fused silica samples decays exponentially with the depth from the ground surface into the bulk and the cracks vanish at a certain depth that depends on the mechanical and physical properties of samples and diamond abrasives/grits.     

Laser cutting of polymeric materials: An experimental investigation

The CO₂ laser cutting of three polymeric materials namely polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is investigated with the aim of evaluating the effect of the main input laser cutting parameters (laser power, cutting speed and compressed air pressure) on laser cutting quality of the different polymers and developing model equations relating input process parameters with the output. The output quality characteristics examined were heat affected zone (HAZ), surface roughness and dimensional accuracy. Twelve sets of tests were carried out for each of the polymer based on the central composite design. Predictive models have been developed by response surface methodology (RSM). First-order response models for HAZ and surface roughness were presented and their adequacy was tested by analysis of variance (ANOVA). It was found that the response is well modeled by a linear function of the input parameters. Response surface contours of HAZ and surface roughness were generated. Mathematical model equations have been presented that estimate HAZ and surface roughness for various input laser cutting parameters. Dimensional accuracies of laser cutting on polymers were examined by dimensional deviation of the actual value from the nominal value. From the analysis, it has been observed that PMMA has less HAZ, followed by PC and PP. For surface roughness, PMMA has better cut edge surface quality than PP and PC. The response models developed can be used for practical purposes by the manufacturing industry. However, all three polymeric materials showed similar diameter errors tendency in spite of different material properties.     

Autoresonant control of nonlinear mode in ultrasonic transducer for machining applications

Experiments conducted in several countries have shown that the improvement of machining quality can be promoted through conversion of the cutting process into one involving controllable high-frequency vibration at the cutting zone. This is achieved through the generation and maintenance of ultrasonic vibration of the cutting tool to alter the fracture process of work-piece material cutting to one in which loading of the materials at the tool tip is incremental, repetitive and controlled. It was shown that excitation of the high-frequency vibro-impact mode of the tool-workpiece interaction is the most effective way of ultrasonic influence on the dynamic characteristics of machining. The exploitation of this nonlinear mode needs a new method of adaptive control for excitation and stabilisation of ultrasonic vibration known as autoresonance. An approach has been developed to design an autoresonant ultrasonic cutting unit as an oscillating system with an intelligent electronic feedback controlling self-excitation in the entire mechatronic system. The feedback produces the exciting force by means of transformation and amplification of the motion signal. This allows realisation for robust control of fine resonant tuning to bring the nonlinear high Q-factor systems into technological application. The autoresonant control provides the possibility of self-tuning and self-adaptation mechanisms for the system to keep the nonlinear resonant mode of oscillation under unpredictable variation of load, structure and parameters. This allows simple regulation of intensity of the process whilst keeping maximum efficiency at all times. An autoresonant system with supervisory computer control was developed, tested and used for the control of the piezoelectric transducer during ultrasonically assisted cutting. The system has been developed as combined analog-digital, where analog devices process the control signal, and parameters of the devices are controlled digitally by computer. The system was applied for advanced machining of aviation materials.     

An approach based on tool mode control for surface roughness reduction in high-frequency vibration cutting

The presented research work, aimed at deeper understanding of vibrational process during high-frequency vibration cutting, is accomplished by treating cutting tool as an elastic structure which is characterized by several modes of natural vibrations. An approach for surface quality improvement is proposed in this paper by taking into account that quality of machined surface is related to the intensity of tool-tip (cutting edge) vibrations. It is based on the excitation of a particular higher vibration mode of a turning tool, which leads to the reduction of deleterious vibrations in the machine-tool-workpiece system through intensification of internal energy dissipation in the tool material. The combined application of numerical analysis with accurate finite element model as well as different experimental methods during investigation of the vibration turning process allowed to determine that the most favorable is the second flexural vibration mode of the tool in the direction of vertical cutting force component. This mode is excited by means of piezoelectric transducer vibrating in axial tool direction at the corresponding natural frequency, thereby enabling minimization of surface roughness and tool wear.     

Numerical–experimental identification of the most effective dynamic operation mode of a vibration drilling tool for improved cutting performance

This study is concerned with application of numerical–experimental approach for characterizing dynamic behavior of the developed piezoelectrically excited vibration drilling tool with the aim to identify the most effective conditions of tool vibration mode control for improved cutting efficiency. 3D finite element model of the tool was created on the basis of an elastically fixed pre-twisted cantilever (standard twist drill). The model was experimentally verified and used together with tool vibration measurements in order to reveal rich dynamic behavior of the pre-twisted structure, representing a case of parametric vibrations with axial, torsional and transverse natural vibrations accompanied by the additional dynamic effects arising due to the coupling of axial and torsional deflections ((un)twisting). Numerical results combined with extensive data from interferometric, accelerometric, dynamometric and surface roughness measurements allowed to determine critical excitation frequencies and the corresponding vibration modes, which have the largest influence on the performance metrics of the vibration drilling process. The most favorable tool excitation conditions were established: inducing the axial mode of the vibration tool itself through tailoring of driving frequency enables to minimize magnitudes of surface roughness, cutting force and torque. Research results confirm the importance of the tool mode control in enhancing the effectiveness of vibration cutting tools from the viewpoint of structural dynamics.
