Abstract: According to the principle of ultrasonic vibration turning, the first step is to study different position changes of surface roughness with cutting parameters under ultrasonic vibration turning of slender shaft by the test of single factor, and determining the extreme position of surface roughness with the slender shaft changes in different cutting conditions. The second step is to study the influence of cutting parameters on the overall average surface roughness of work piece under ultrasonic vibration turning of slender shaft by orthogonal test design, and compared with the conventional turning. The experimental results show that ultrasonic vibration turning slender shaft processing can significantly improve the surface roughness. At the same time, the influence laws of cutting parameters on the surface roughness are investigated, and finding out the optimal cutting experimental parameters. Key words: slender shaft; ultrasonic vibration turning; surface roughness; orthogonal test design.

Abstract: This paper performed a series of experimental investigations for typical die steels with ultrasonic vibration assisted turning. The micro-morphology of rake face and flank face of diamond was detected by scanning electron microscopy, and the roughness of machined surface was measured by Form Talysurf. In order to clarify the influence laws of cutting parameters and tool geometric parameters on tool wear and surface quality. The results revealed that the wear of diamond and surface roughness rely heavily on the feed rate, and have less relativity with the relief angle and the depth of cut to an extent. In addition, the function mechanism of ultrasonic vibration turning had been analyzed, it exhibited that this technological measure has enhanced tool life and improved surface quality to a large extent.

Abstract: Titanium alloys, as difficult-to-cut materials, have poor machinability due to their superior mechanical properties, heat resistance and corrosion resistance. High cutting temperature and great cutting force that will greatly accelerate tool wear often occurs in titanium alloys cutting process. In this paper, an ultrasonic vibration turning method was used to lower diamond tool wear during TC4 titanium alloy turning process. Ultrasonic vibration turning tests were carried out with various cutting parameters. Experimental results indicated that there’s a significant reduction of the wear rate of diamond tools by means of ultrasonic vibration in TC4 turning process. For ultrasonic vibration turning, spindle speed, the amplitude and frequency of vibration of the tool are the greatest impact of tool wear, followed by feed rate, then the cutting depth.

Abstract: The effects of the cutting parameters on residual stresss were investigated in common and ultrasonic vibration hard turning bearing steel GCr15 with PCBN. The residual stresses under the machined surface were measured by X-ray diffraction technique. The results obtained in this study show that residual compressive stress is produced both in common and ultrasonic turning of GCr15 bearing steel. Under the same turning condition the residual compressive produced by the ultrasonic turning is smaller than that by the common turning. Residual compressive stress can improve the fatigue performance and life of workpiece, so the cutting parameters should be optimized to get the best residual compressive stress in ultrasonic turning.

Abstract: Ultrasonic-vibration hard cutting (UVHC) is a advanced technology, where high- frequency vibration is superimposed on the movement of the cutting tool. Compared to conventional turning (CT), this technique allows significant improvements in processing hard-to-cut materials, by producing a noticeable decrease in cutting forces and a superior surface finish. The paper presents a finite-element model of both CT and UVHC. Stresses produced in workpiece and cutting forces acting on the cutting tool in UVHC are studied, and the influence of cutting parameters, such as cutting speed and cutting depth on cutting force are investigated.
