Effect and Optimization of the Process Parameters on the Surface Morphology of the 3D Elliptical Vibration Cutting

Abstract

Traditional cutting process reduce cutting force by increasing cutting speed and the sharpness of tip, and elliptical vibration cutting is a new cutting method, not only to overcome the shortcomings of traditional cutting process, but also can enhance the shape accuracy and system stability of the work piece, slow the wear of the tools. This article provide theoretical guidance for the actual processing by explaining the formation mechanism of surface morphology of elliptical vibration cutting, analysing cutting parameters which have significant impact on the morphology of elliptical vibration and optimizing the cutting parameters which highly effect the surface scallop height in elliptical vibration cutting.
