High frequency ultrasonic elliptical vibration turning studty for weak rigidity precision workpiece

Based on analysis of the micro-surface and kinematical formulas of elliptical vibration cutting(EVC), the paper presents that frequency and amplitude of vibration parameter affect surface roughness, forming accuracy and machining efficiency of weak rigidity workpiece: increase vibration frequency are result in lower vibration cutting duty cycle , lower cutting force, advancer critical speed, so advance forming accuracy and machining efficiency; decrease amplitude are result in reduce the height of vibration ripples in cutting direction , so improve surface roughness. Experiences of cutting the weak rigidity workpiece by the designed double bending hybrid vibration high transducer, verified that the high frequency elliptical vibration cutting are proved more conducive to machining weak rigidity workpiece.
