Experiments were carried out to study the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the surface roughness and subsurface damage (SSD) in rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of glass BK7. As a comparison, some conventional grinding (CG) experiments were also performed under the same process parameters with there of the RUM ones. The surface roughness of the RUM/CG samples was measured with a surface profilometer. The SSD of these specimens was assessed and characterized by a measuring microscope with the help of the taper polishing method. Also, the influence of process parameters (cutting depth, feed speed, and spindle speed) on the surface/subsurface quality was discussed. As a result, both the surface roughness and the SSD depth of the RUM/CG specimens were reduced with the increased spindle speed, while increased with the increasing of feed speed and cutting depth of the diamond tool. Compared with the CG process, the introduction of ultrasonic vibration resulted in the higher surface roughness and SSD depth, due to the fact that the max cutting depth of the abrasive in the RUM process increased by an amplitude compared with that in the CG process.

An approach to modeling the material removal rate (MRR) during rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of ceramics is proposed and applied to predicting the MRR for the case of magnesia stabilized zirconia. The model, a first attempt at predicting the MRR in RUM, is based on the assumption that brittle fracture is the primary mechanism of material removal. To justify this assumption, a model parameter (which models the ratio of the fractured volume to the indented volume of a single diamond particle) is shown to be invariant for most machining conditions. The model is mechanistic in the sense that this parameter can be observed experimentally from a few experiments for a particular material and then used in prediction of MRR over a wide range of process parameters. This is demonstrated for magnesia stabilized zirconia, where very good predictions are obtained using an estimate of this single parameter. On the basis of this model, relations between the material removal rate and the controllable machining parameters are deduced. These relationships agree well with the trends observed by experimental observations made by other investigators.

Aerospace, automotive and sporting goods manufacturing industries have more interest on carbon fiber reinforced plastics due to its superior properties, such as lower density than aluminum; higher strength than high-strength metals; higher stiffness than titanium etc. Rotary ultrasonic machining is a hybrid machining process that combines the material removal mechanisms of diamond abrasive grinding and ultrasonic machining. Hole-making is the most common machining operation done on carbon fiber reinforced plastics, where delamination is a major issue. Delamination reduces structural integrity and increases assembly tolerance, which leads to rejection of a part or a component. Comparatively, rotary ultrasonic machining has been successfully applied to hole-making in carbon fiber reinforced plastics. As reported in the literature, rotary ultrasonic machining is superior to twist drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics in six aspects: cutting force, torque, surface roughness, delamination, tool life, and material removal rate. This paper investigates the effects of tool end angle on delamination in rotary ultrasonic machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics. Several investigators have cited thrust force as a major cause for delamination. Eventhogh, it is found on this investigation, tool end angle has more significant influence on the delamination in rotary ultrasonic machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastics comparing to cutting force and torque.
