Study on the Specific Energy Characteristics of the Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Sawing Ceramic

Abstract:

Ultrasonic vibration improved the machining performance of a variety of brittle materials, and achieved good results in brittle materials machining applications. In this paper, the experiment about precision sawing engineering ceramic by using a thin diamond blade with and without ultrasonic vibration conditions was investigated. It is aimed to explore the effect of ultrasonic vibration on specific energy. The results show that ultrasonic vibration makes specific sawing energy having a significant reduction during material removal process. Under the ultrasonic vibration condition, the engineering ceramic’s materials removal way is changed. It changed from plastic removal to the removal of brittle fracture, which reduced the energy consumption of material removal.
