Experimental Investigation on Ultrasonic Assisted Grinding of High Volume Fraction SiC Particles Reinforced Al Matrix Composites

Abstract:

The surface integrity of the machined components of the high volume fraction SiC particle reinforced Al composites (SiCp/Al) is important as it influences the performance of the part. The grinding experiments of 55% volume fraction SiC particles reinforced Al composite with and without ultrasonic-assisted were performed. The grinding forces were tested, on which the effects of the grinding parameters were analyzed. The surface topography of SiCp/Al after ultrasonic assisted grinding were observed, based on which the material removal mode was discussed.
