With the development of advanced manufacturing technology, ceramic matrix composite materials, a typically hard and brittle material, have been widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace manufacturing. Due to the anisotropy of materials, the quality of conventional processing workpieces is poor, and the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee. In this experiment, ceramic matrix composite materials are machined by ultrasonic vibration grinding with the CBN grinding rods. The influence of amplitude on the grinding force and the surface quality of the workpiece in the grinding process are analyzed by a series of experiments on ceramic matrix composites. The results show that, compared with the conventional grinding process, in the ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding process, the grinding force is reduced by about 60%, and the surface quality is also improved significantly,the surface roughness Sa is reduced by about 25%.
In this paper, through a series of grinding experiments with different machining parameters on the surface of the workpiece, the surface roughness under different machining parameters are obtained The surface roughness prediction model is constructed by the response surface method. The effects of feed rate, amplitude, and spindle speed on the surface roughness are analyzed. The results show that the surface quality of ultrasonic-assisted grinding is better than that of conventional grinding. Amplitude has the most prominent effect on the improvement of surface quality, followed by the spindle speed. The feed rate has little effect on the surface roughness. The model can predict 93.71% of the experimental results and the prediction error of the model is lower than 5%.
7075 aluminum alloy is widely used due to its great performance, especially in aerospace area. In this paper, ultrasonic-assisted grinding technology is used to process 7075 aluminum alloy. The data is obtained through experiments, and the surface roughness and morphology of ultrasonic assisted grinding and conventional grinding under different spindle speeds, feed rates, and amplitudes are analyzed. Research has found that the increase in spindle speed and amplitude will improve the quality of the machined surface and reduce the surface roughness by 82.1% and 36%. However, with the increase of feed rate, the surface quality decreased significantly, and the surface roughness increased by 55.6%. The surface micro-morphology of the machined workpiece is observed, and the effects of different processing parameters on the surface micro-morphology are obtained.
