超声波振落的原理English:The principle of ultrasonic vibration is based on the phenomenon of the piezoelectric effect. Piezoelectric materials, such as quartz crystals or certain ceramics, can convert electrical energy into mechanical vibrations and vice versa. When an alternating current is applied to the piezoelectric element, it causes the crystal lattice to vibrate at a specific frequency, producing sound waves in the ultrasonic range. These sound waves are then transmitted through a medium, such as air or water, and can be used for various applications.Ultrasonic vibrations have several unique properties that make them useful in different fields. One important property is the high frequency range they operate in, typically above 20 kHz. This high frequency allows for precise control and fine detailing in applications like ultrasonic cleaning, cutting, or welding. Another property is the directionality of ultrasonic waves. They can be focused into a narrow beam, allowing for precision targeting in medical imaging or non-destructive testing. This focused energy can also be used to break down particles or remove dirt through a process known as cavitation.Cavitation occurs when the high-frequency sound waves create alternating pressure waves in a liquid or fluid medium. As the pressure decreases during the rarefaction cycle, the liquid can vaporize and form small gas-filled bubbles or cavities. When these bubbles collapse, they produce intense heat and shock waves, creating tiny shockwaves that dislodge particles or dirt from surfaces. This phenomenon is commonly used in ultrasonic cleaning devices or medical procedures like lithotripsy, where the shockwaves are used to break down kidney stones.The translation in Chinese: 超声波振落的原理基于压电效应。

Manufacture of Overhanging Sharp Corner by Means of 6-Axis Control Machining with the Application of Ultrasonic Vibrations feliciano H.JAPITANA**,koichi MORISHIGE**,shugo YASUDA** and yoshimiTAKEUCHIThe study proposes a new machine method to creat an create an overhanging sharp corner. Sharp corners on overhanging surfaces are difficult to machine in conventional way or even in 3 to 5-aixs EDM especially if the surfaces have different angles. This is due to the limitation of the feed direction and the structure of the electrode wherein it must be symmetrical with the target shape. In present research, we try to machine the sharp corner with overhanging surfaces using the new machining method. The 6-axis control machining is applied to set a non-rotational tool at an arbitrary position with arbitrary position with arbitrary attitude against the workpiece. During cutting, the ultrasonic vibration is applied on the cutting edge of the tool, while the tool travels along the feed direction. As the cutting is performed, the 6-axis (X,Y,Z,A,B and C) move simultaneously, depending on the tool attitude at a certain cutting point. Form the experimental results, it is shown that the 6-axis control ultrasonic vibration cutting is capable of producing a sharp overhanging surface.Key Words: 6-axis Controlled Cutting, CAD/CAM System, Bore Byte Tool, Overhanging Sharp Corner, Ultrasonic Vibration Cutting Tool1.introductionThe flexibility of products may be extended greatly if the restriction in manufacturing process can be minimized or eliminated. If rotational tools such as ball end mills or square end mills are used in the production of a mould with an overhanging sharp corner (OHSC), it seems difficult to clearly obtain the target shape with sharp edge lines. This is due to the result of processing with the rotational tools, Which are symmetrical with the rotation. The arc-like radius remains are produced on adjoining surfaces, as shown in Fig.1 Conventionally, most of overhanging or inclined surface can be machined by setting the workpiece at a certain angle in the vise, swivelling the universal vise, or by setting the tool head to a certain angle and feeding the cutting tool head, as shown in Fig.2(a). In this process, the overhanging surfaces and the sharp edges at the bottom are produced. However, if the target is an OHSC consisting of two overhanging side surfaces, and theinclination angle of surface is not uniform, the processing of the target shape is difficult to achieve since the cutting direction in the process is fixed and limited only to linear cutting. Thus ,it needs a lot of jigs and fixtures to hold a workpiece ,to position correctly with respect to a machine tool and to support it during machining.Fig.1 5-axis control machining using rotational toolFig.2 method of producing sharp corner with overhanging surfacesThe other possible method to produce such a shape is multi-axis Electric Discharge Machining (EDM), as shown in Fig.2(b).However, even using this method ,it is difficult or impossible to produce an OHSC with different angle .It needs 6 degrees of freedom to fully execute the machining of the required shape.In the previous researches, ultrasonic vibration (USV) was applied in turning of ductile material and milling of glassfiber-reinforced plastic. The cutting force with USV is considerably reduced. However , in the former process ,the workpiece is rotated or moves to towards the cutting tool, and in the latter, machining is limited only to 2 or 3 axis control one. In the other field of research, multi-axis control machine tool is used to complete a machining in one setup, which leads to the production of workpiece with high accuracy and quality and to the reduction in machining time.In this study, 6-axis control cutting using a non-rotational cutting tool with the application of ultrasonic vibration (USV) is used, as shown in Fig.2(c).It is applied to scrutinize the validity of the method in the fabrication of OHSC, The C-axis rotates the non-rotational tool simultaneously together with X,Y,Z,A or B axis during machining .The movement of the axes is based on the tool attitude and the cutting point generated by a developed CAM software. The CAM program generates a collision free tool path to assure the safety of the process. The 6-axis control machine tool provides easily the machining capability of OHSC, since 6degrees of freedom make the machining execute fully the required product shape. Also, with the application of USV, a bore byte tool is utilizded, considering its size and stiffness during machining operation since the cutting force is greatly reduced.2.Experimental procedureThe experiment steup is shown in Fig.3, wherein the workpiece is mounted on the table of the 6-axis control machining center. The bore byte tool is mounted in the USV tool using an adaptor. The USV tool is turn mounted on the main spindle of the 6-axis control machining center.2.1Multi-axis control machine tool and bore byte toolThe 6-axis control machining center used in the study is shown inFig.4. The machining center provides multi-axis CNC machine tools.The 6-axis control machine tool has 3 rotational axes A,B and C. It is constructed by adding the rotational function C on the main spindle of a 5-axis control machining center which has 2 rotational axes,namely;A, which is a rotary tilting table and B, which is the rotary index table. The, and that of rotational one A,B minimum unit for translation movement X,Y and Z is 1mand C is 0.36 arc second. In the case of cutting of OHSC, A axis is used for determination of side surface and the inclination angle of sharp corner ,B axis for workpiece rotation ,C axis for determination of cutting tool direction, X and Y axis for the determination of feed direction of feed direction while the depth of cut is determined by Z axis. Fig 5 shows the non-rotational cutting tool (bore byte tool) used in the study. It is made of tungsten carbide usually used here in 6-axis control cutting. The total length and diameter of the tool are70mm and 6mm respectively.2.2Ultrasonic vibration toolFif.6 is a commercially available USV tool (SB-150:Taga Electric Co). used in the study. The USV is applied on the cutting edge of the tool.In order to perform an efficient and effective vibration cutting, the vibration direction must be set parallel to the cutting direction. Since the vibration direction is not always parallel with the feed direction, the tool attitude of the bore byte tool is subjected to arrangement. As illustrated in fig.7(a), the tool axis vextor T and the tool direction vector D and modified by arranging the rolling and the inclination angle respectively. These are converted into modified tool axis vector T and modified tool direction vector D, as shown in fig.7(b). The transformation of the tool axis vector and the tool direction vector are carried out in cutter location (CL) conversion.2.3CAD/CAM systemThe configuration of 6-axis CAD/CAM system is shown in fig.8, where 3D-CAD data of the target shape is generated . The type of bore byte tool must be selected, based on the target shape. The main processor generates the collision free CL data on the bases of tool information and tool orientation as well as 3D-CAD data of the target shape.The post processor converts CL data generated by the main processor into 6-axis control NC data suitable for the coordinate system of the machining center with reference to the structure information of the machining center, setting information, cutting condition and vibration condition. In addition, so-called linearization operation is dine in order to keep the feed rate to the machining center structure constant and to minimize the tool path deviation. It leads to assure the smoothness of the product surface especially in dealing with curve surfaces.Before converting CL data into NC data, CL data must be firstly checked for collision to assure the safety of the machining process .If the collision is detected in this stage, the modification of CL data is carried out, using the main processor.3.Manufacture of Sharp Corner with Overhanging Surface3.1Determination of tool attitudeIn order to expresshe entire tool attitude for 9-axis control ultrasonic vibration cutting, the tool attitude of the bore byte tool, as shown in Fig.9, is appointed by the coordinates P for cutting point, the tool axis vector T and the tool direction vector D. These PTD coordinates are converted to NC data, and are in turn used in machining operation. In6-axis control cutting with application of ultrasonic vibration, the movement and the attitude of the tool must be determined in consideration of the vibration direction. Since the cutting direction changes rapidly, the tool attitude changes a lot to keep the tool angle constant to the surface shape.3.2Generation of tool pathThe tool path generating method for OHSC can be described as follows; the OHSC is composed with two ridgelines, as illustrated in Fig.10. The intersecting line is called as a bottom ridgeline and the cross section line is called as a side ridgeline .Finishing the side ridgeline as well as the bottom ridgeline is required to make a sharp corner.3.2.1Generation of tool path for side surfaceThe surface that makes a side ridgeline is composed with left and right surfaces respectively. In producing a side ridgeline of the sharp corner, machining of left and right surfaces is necessary. The outline of the tool path generation method for side surfaces of the OHSC is described in Fig.11.The side to be machined and the tool feed direction must be selected at first, based on the type of bore byte tool and the target shape. The adjoining surfaces that make a side ridgeline, is expressed with parameters u and v. The fix curve , which is equal to parameter v, is generated on the side from the upper part of the surface to the bottom. The division number of surface is input to sequentially generate the number of cutting points. Each cutting point on a reference line are generated, using the value of parameter u, so that the distance between the cutting points may settle below in the specified value.Changing the tool attitude at every point of the cutter location ,the tool moves sequentially on each cutting point from the start point until the side ridgeline is formed. Although the cutting point is connected each other in order to acquire the tool path, it is difficult to process both adjoining sides by one direction due to the tool structure and the target product shape. In addition , the collision may take place between the tool and the workpiece. In this situation, the tool starts from the start point of the tool path to process the left side surface, and ends at the corner where the ridgeline is to be formed. Thus is repeated until it reaches to the bottom surface. The depth of cut is based in the division number of the total length of curve for curve surface. The same thing is done on the right side surface since there is still an arc-like remain at the corner part of the side surface. The procedure is almost the same as with the processing of the left side surface, however thecutting end point is the same with the end point of the left side processing, to form the clear ridgeline .Processing of the right side surfaces is also done using the left hand tool.The tool direction vector D during the tool path generation for side surfaces is rotated by 10degrees to make the vibration direction parallel to the feed direction vector F. The tool path is generated by connecting the cutting points in order from the starting point to the end point. The tool attitude during cutting is determined from the normal vector N and the tool feed direction vector F at the cutting point. The tool feed direction vector D and the tool axis vector T can be expressed as D=F*N and T=N respectively.3.2.2Generation of tool path for bottom surfaceFigure 12 describes that tool path generating method for bottom surface that makes the bottom surface that makes the bottom ridgeline of the OHSC. After generating the tool path for side surfaces, the tool path for bottom ridgeline is successively generated, where the tool is inclined to the bottom surfaces. There are two methods of generating a tool path for bottom surfaces; one is one-path method shown on the upper left part, and the other multi-path method shown in the upper right part of the figure. In one –path method ,the cutting tip of the tool directly makes contact with the location of the bottom ridgeline. In this operation, the tool inclination angle is necessary to fully remove the arc-like remains on the bottom surface and to form a clear ridgeline. During the tool path generation, the tool axis vector T is inclined, based on the calculated inclination angle against the bottom surface and the clearance angle of the cutting tool, which is 5 degrees.The method of determining the cutting start point as well as the cutting end point is the same as that of generating a tool path for side ridgeline.In multi-path method, the pitch from the bottom surface is expressed by use of parameters u and v. The generation range of a cutting reference line is determined from the shortest distance between the arc-like remains after rouging and the reference line of thebottom ridgeline. Cutting points is generated on the basis of parameter v in each reference line. The systems determines the tool attitude during cutting from the tool axis vector N at the bottom surface and the tool feed vector F at cutting point along a cutting reference line. The tool axis vector T and the tool direction vector D can be express as T=N and D=N*F respectively. The cutting start point is assumed near the arc-like radius remains and it ends at the last point of the generated cutting point in the reference line. Moving the tool along each neighboring cutting point can make the tool path.4.Experimental Results4.1Effect on cutting forceThe cutting force was measured by use of piezoelectric dynamometer (9257B,Kistler Co,Ltd), thus averaging the measured cutting force and processing it in the root mean square(rms) manner.table1 measured cutting forceMachining was conducted both with USV and without USV. The cutting conditions used are as follows: feed speed of 400mm/min and different depth of cut of 0.1,0.2,and 0.3mm respectively. The vibration conditions are in the following; frequency of 19kHz,and rolling angle of 10 degrees. The acquired result is shown in amplitude of 36mTable1. It can be seen that the cutting force in cutting with USV is much smaller as compared to cutting without USV. Since the cutting force was greatly reduced, the stiffness of the tool can be maintained all throughout the process.4.2Machining of OHSCThe cutting experiment was also made in order to scrutinize the validity of the new machining method. The workpiece size used for the experiment is 100×100×20 mm and the material is an aluminimu alloy(JIS A5052), which is also commonly used for low cost mould with low molding pressurre such as blow moulding, vacuum forming, rubbermoulding,etc.Two types of OHSC model were tired in the experiment, one is OHSC with plane surface and the other is OHSC with curve surface. The side surfaces consist of different inclination angle. The inclination angle o the surface at the cutting start point is not the same as the inclination angle at the cutting end point. In this condition, the inclination angle is not uniform all thoughout.Shown in Fig.13(a) is the machining model for OHSC with plane surfaces, rugh cutting must be at firdt done in order to perform an effcient cutting by 5-axis control machining, using the rotational ball end mill with a radius of 3mm and 1.5mm respectively. Machining is carried out until the target product shape is almost obtained. Since the target sharp corner is not clearly obtained due to the arc-like remains, as shown in Fig .13(b), finishing will be performed, using the 6-axis control cutting with the application of theUSV. with plane surface. Inthis process ,the left side or right side surface is firstly machined, depending on the choice.Let us assume that the left side surface is machined. The cutting and vibration conditions listed in Table 2 were used in machining on the basis of NC instructions generated by the developed CAM program. After machining the side surface, the bottom surfaces is machined in the next step, using the one path method. The cutting conditions listed in Table 2 were also used except for the inclinations angle of 9 degrees and the depth of cut of about 1.5mm. The depths of cut were based on the arc-like remains of the ball end mill used during roughing.Machining of the left side surfaces is done, using the right hang tool.After finishing the machining of the left side surface, the right side is processed in the next step under almost the same conditions as the processing of the left side except that the tool used is a left hand too. Shown in Fig.13(d) is the result of machining experiment.The machining model for OHSC with curve surfaces is shown in Fig.14(a). In machining OHSC with curve surface, roughing must also be performed, as shown in Fig.14(b). The sequence of operation from roughing to finishing is almost the same as described previously. However, so-called linearization operation is required to make the product surface smooth. To process the bottom surface that makes the ridgeline, the multi-path method was emplyed since the method is suitable in curved surfaces. Table 2 lists the cutting and vibration conditions used in the process. Also, shown in Fig.14(c) and Fig.14(d) are the actual machining and the product after finishing process respectively. The total machining time with this experiment is 112 minutes including rough cutting time. Only one machine was used as well as one steup of the workpiece in the entire process.The cutting effciency has been drastically improved due to the increase of cutting speed by applying of ultrasonic vibration since the normal cutting speed of non rotational cutting tools is equal to the feed rate.ConclusionThe experimental results show that the usage of bore byte tool is maximized and that the tool stiffness is enough to carry out machining due to the significant reduction of cutting force by applying the ultrasonic vibrations. It is found that only one machine can cope with machining of the product from roughing to fingshing , which leads to the potential of cost saving since the extra process like set-up from one machine to another can be eliminated. As a result, the validity of the developed CAM to machine OHSCs with plane and curve surface is experimentally confirmed throughout the study.AcknowledgementThe authors would like to express their sincere appreciation to Mr.Crisanto de laCruz(MIRDC-DOST) and Mr.Tohru Ishida (The University of Elector-Communications) for their valuable support and information.A part of the study is funded by the grant in aid for Scientific Research of the Ministry of Education (B12450057).references(1)Cecil, J A Clamping Design Approach for Automated Fixture Design, The InternationalJournal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, V ol.18, No.11(2001),pp.790-793.

Results from experimental trials to evaluate the influence of applying US vibration when creep feed grinding Inconel 718 with an open structured, alumina based grinding wheel (POROS 2) are then presented. A full factorial experimental array comprising 18 runs was conducted involving variation in wheel speed (30, 35 and 40m/s), table speed (200, 250 and 300mm/min) and grinding condition (with and without vibration). For tests with US vibration, the workpiece was actuated at a constant frequency (~20kHz)via a specially designed block sonotrode attached to a 1kW piezoelectric transducer-generator system. Reductions in vertical (F V )and horizontal (F H ) grinding force components of up to 23% and 43% for F V and F H respectively and surface roughness (S a ) of the ground slots by up to 45% were observed in the majority of tests when utilising US assisted operation. In terms of surface quality,SEM micrographs revealed greater side flow/ploughing and overlapping grit marks in slots machined with the workpiece vibrated in comparison to standard creep feed ground specimens. Three dimensional topographic measurement of grinding wheel surface replicas indicated that US vibration led to an increase in the number of active cutting points on the wheel.© 2012 Published by Elsevier BV. Selection and/or peer-review under responsibility of Prof. Konrad Wegener Keywords: Grinding; nickel; ultrasonics; vibration.1. IntroductionThe use of ultrasonic actuation as a method formaterial removal was first proposed in a paper by R.W.Wood and A.L. Loomis in 1927, with the first patent granted to L. Balamuth in 1945 [1]. Developments sincethen have seen ultrasonic machining (USM) applied to the cutting of hard but brittle materials such as glass, ruby and ceramics. Traditional USM operation involves a horn and tool arrangement vibrated at frequencies of20kHz with relatively small amplitudes of ~10-20μm,that is used to impact against an abrasive slurry betweenthe tool and workpiece causing localised fracture. The scope of the technology was further expanded to encompass ultrasonic vibration as an assistive mechanism in a ‘hybrid’ configuration with conventional metal cutting (turning, drilling, milling & grinding) aswell as metal forming processes.Some of the earliest work relating to ultrasonic assisted grinding (UAG) dates back to the mid-1950’s [2] and highlighted benefits such as reductions ingrinding temperature and workpiece tensile residual stresses, albeit at a cost of lower G-ratios due to a greater degree of wheel breakdown. Several years later, a project undertaken by the United States Air Forcereported work on excitation of the grinding wheel in a radial direction by attaching the transducer to a half-wave bar (the wheel hub) [3]. A novel technique involving the use of US vibration to clean and prevent loading of pores in a grinding wheel was proposed by Kaliszer and Limb [4], which utilised a special coolantactivator oscillating along its axis and radial to the wheel © 2012 The Authors.

The ultrasonically cleaned wheels exhibited greater permeability, higher G-ratio and reduced chatter vibrations in comparison to the non-ultrasonically treated wheels.The majority of published work on UAG over the past ~20 years can be broadly divided into two sub-categories, depending on whether the vibration was applied to the grinding wheel or workpiece. Nakagawa et al. [5] studied the effects of vibrating a cast iron fibre bonded diamond wheel during the grinding of alumina, silicon nitride and tungsten carbide. They found that larger depths of cut were possible leading to higher material removal rates (MRR) and improved dimensional accuracy, together with a 60-70% reduction in normal grinding force. A similar system was also shown to be capable of fabricating precision micro cylindrical tools and micro drills [6], as well as producing machined features having non-circular cavities and blind holes with sharp corners [7]. While not generally recommended for ferrous alloys, Hara et al. [8] demonstrated that it was possible to produce mirror surfaces when grinding die steel (NAK80) with diamond electroplated tools vibrating at a frequency of 60kHz and an amplitude of 4μm. Use of a vibrating CBN wheel for grinding small holes in stainless steel was also found to reduce both normal and tangential forces as well as workpiece surface roughness by ~20% [9].Research involving vibration of the workpiece has been more extensive, primarily due to the comparatively simpler experimental setup. Spur and Holl [10] utilised a workpiece based US assisted creep feed grinding system to achieve a 50% reduction in normal force when machining sintered silicon nitride and alumina, but at the expense of a marginal increase in wheel wear due to higher amounts of micro-splintering of grits under the hybrid configuration. A similar wear mechanism was observed by Uhlmann [11], whose study also revealed that vibration rendered an intermittent cutting action together with higher mechanical but lower thermal loads on the grits. Several investigations with nano-zirconia based ceramics revealed that the material removal mechanism changed from fracture in conventional grinding to a ductile regime when using UAG [12-13].Wu et al. [14] detailed the development of an innovative elliptic ultrasonic vibrating shoe (instead of two separate transducers) for centreless grinding, which was subsequently utilised in fabricating microscale cylindrical tungsten carbide components with a diameter of 60ȝm over a length of 15mm (aspect ratio of 250) [15]. In an attempt to minimise/eliminate the need for coolant, ultrasonic assisted operation was implemented to investigate the feasibility of dry surface grinding soft steels including 100Cr6 [16-17] and 42CrMo4 [18]. Significant reductions in normal and tangential forces (~30-50%) were obtained when applying ultrasonic actuation, which also decreased thermal damage/ grinding burn, thereby improving workpiece surface finish.The body of research on UAG to date has mainly focussed on the surface grinding configuration of materials such as ceramics, glass and various grades of steel (stainless, plain carbon, alloyed etc.), but little information is available on ultrasonic assisted grinding of advanced aerospace materials such as nickel based superalloys. The aim of the current work was to investigate the effect on grinding forces (vertical and horizontal), workpiece surface roughness/quality (2D and 3D topographical parameters) and wheel wear (G-ratio), when employing ultrasonic vibration during creep feed grinding (CFG) of Inconel 718with an alumina wheel.2.Experimental detailsThe experimental trials were conducted on a Bridgeport FGC1000 flexible grinding centre, with a maximum spindle speed of 6000rpm and power rating of 25kW. Rectangular blocks of solution treated and aged Inconel 718 (hardness of ~44±1HRC) measuring 110×50×10mm were used as the workpiece material. These were clamped onto a specially designed aluminium table/block sonotrode (similar to the one detailed by Azarhoushang and Tawakoli [19]) mounted on the machine worktable, which was connected to a 1kW piezoelectric transducer-generator system, see Fig.1. The transducer was attached to transmit the US vibration in a direction parallel to grinding feed. The alumina grinding wheels known commercially as POROS 2, had a plain geometry, vitrified bond, open structure (specification: 25A601 I 74 VPMCNN), a diameter of 220mm and a width of 25mm.The full factorial experimental array comprised 18 tests involving variations in wheel speed (30, 35 and 40 m/s), table speed (200, 250 and 300 mm/min) and grinding condition (with and without vibration). Depth of cut/pass was fixed at 1.0mm with all trials performed in a down grinding creep feed mode without spark-out. The experimental array is shown in Table 1. Each test involved a single pass of the workpiece (50mm cut length).Dressing of the POROS 2 wheel (after each trial) was carried out using a diamond roller dresser (ĭ 105mm) with an average grain size of ~800μm and spacing of ~1.5mm. Two high pressure pumping systems were used to supply fluid for wheel cleaning (70bar) and into the grinding zone (28bar) via laminar flow nozzles having rectangular cross-sectioned orifices measuring 0.5×20mm and 2×20mm respectively (25mm wide nozzles were not available).

The maximum amplitude recorded was 4.2μm, depending on the positions of the nodes and anti-nodes on the surface of the sonotrode.The block sonotrode exhibited multi-modal vibration in all 3-axes.Vertical (perpendicular to feed direction) and horizontal (parallel to feed direction) grinding forces were measured using a Kistler 9257A 3-component piezoelectric dynamometer coupled to charge amplifiers and a PC running Dynoware software. In order to determine the G-ratio, wheel diameters were measured before and after each grinding trial using a DEA Swift manual coordinate measuring machine (CMM)connected to a computer programmed with Delcam Power Inspect software. The wheels were assessed at 30different points around the periphery, each at 5 different levels of the wheel width.Both 2D and 3D topographical profiles of the ground workpiece surfaces were recorded using a Taylor Hobson Form Talysurf 120L, with 2D assessment involving a 0.8mm cut-off. Micrographs of the ground surfaces were taken using a JEOL 6060 scanning electron microscope (SEM). Due to space restrictions inthe SEM chamber, wheel surface topography was assessed by producing negative and positive replicas using a graphite block and rubber-resin compound respectively. For the former, the worn wheel was used to grind a graphite block at a wheel speed of 15m/s, table speed of 150mm/min and depth of cut of 1.0mm. Theresulting surface profiles were then traced, which represented negative profiles of the wheel surface (assumed zero wear from grinding of graphite block). In contrast, positive replicas of the wheel surfaces were obtained using a synthetic rubber and resin replicating compound (Microset), after which 3D surface profiles were measured using the Form Talysurf system. 3. Results and discussion 3.1. Grinding forces, radial wheel wear and G-ratio Figure 2 details the vertical (F V ) and horizontal (F H )grinding forces both with and without US vibration. It was observed that when operating without ultrasonics,grinding forces generally increased as the table speed was varied from 200 to 300mm/min due to a corresponding rise in the undeformed chip thickness.Conversely, no such trend was apparent with theincrease in wheel speed from 30 to 40m/s. TheD . Bhaduri et al. / P rocedia CIRP 1 ( 2012 ) 359 – 364362application of US vibration however led to lowergrinding forces in the majority of tests, although reductions in F H was more prominent and varied between 26 to 43%. This was most likely due to the intermittent cutting action of the abrasives under vibration leading to reduced frictional forces in the contact zone between the grits and workpiece as well as smaller average chip thicknesses, despite the modest amplitude generated by the ultrasonic transducer-generator system.Fig. 2. Vertical (F V ) and horizontal (F H ) forces under different grinding conditionsThe effects of operating conditions on radial wheel wear and G-ratio are shown in Fig 3. In general, radial wheel wear (RWW) decreased as the table speed increased from 200 to 300mm/min when operating under standard CFG mode. This was attributed to the shorter contact time between the wheel and workpiece material.Fig. 3. Radial wheel wear and G-ratio under different grinding conditionsWith the hybrid configuration, wheel G-ratio was seen to improve by between 7 to 45% in 5 of the 9 trials (Tests 2, 4, 6, 14, 18), although it was also found to decrease in 3 of the remaining 4 experiments (Tests 10,12, 16). The reason for the latter is unclear, but the highly porous and open structure of the alumina wheel could have led to errors during measurement of wheel diameters using the contact based CMM probe. 3.2. Workpiece surface topography and quality Fig. 4 details the 3D surface topographical parameters (S a , S t , S z ) measured for all tests, while Fig. 5 shows representative 3D topographies of the workpiece surfaces ground with and without ultrasonic assistance respectively. Average surface roughness (S a ) was generally lower when employing US vibration except for tests at the highest parameters (40m/s, 250mm/min and 40m/s, 300mm/min). This was possibly due to the increased incidence of overlapping cuts/greater number of active cutting points per revolution of the wheel compared to when machining under normal grinding conditions, see Fig. 6(a) & 6(b). Conversely, peak to peak (S t ) and 10-point average roughness (S z )parameters were generally higher with surfaces machined under US assisted mode. This was thought to be due to the vibration along the Z-axis of the sonotrode,i.e. in a direction radial to the wheel surface.Furthermore, greater levels of smearing and side flow/ploughing of the workpiece material were evident from the majority of samples analysed when operating with US vibration, which also suggested increased plastic deformation occurred [10], see Fig. 6(c).Fig. 4. 3D topographical parameters of ground workpiece surfacesV w V c G r i n d i n g f o r c e s (N )V c V w G-ratioR a d i a l w h e e l w e a r (μm )V c V w 3D t o p o g r a p h y p a r a m e t e r s , S a , S t , S z (μm )D .

SEM micrographs of representative ground workpiece surfaces machined; (a) without ultrasonics, (b), & (c) with ultrasonics3.3. Grinding wheel surface evaluationThe average surface roughness (S a ) of the graphite blocks and density of peaks (S ds ) from the resin replicas are shown in Fig. 7. The former value is representative of the post-grinding wheel surfaces, whereas the S ds parameter provides an indication of the static cutting edge density, according to Blunt and Ebdon [20].In general, S a increased as V w was incremented from200 to 300mm/min, irrespective of the wheel speed.Although not shown here, this trend corresponded to equivalent 2D roughness parameters of the ground workpiece surfaces. However following activation of US vibration, the roughness of the graphite replicas/wheel surface decreased in most cases compared to plain grinding, which suggested greater uniformity of the resulting grit heights. This was most likely caused by the ‘conditioning effect’ as a result of the vibration, which also translated to the lower workpiece surface roughness (S a ) detailed in the previous section.Fig. 7. S a of graphite replicas and S ds of resin replicas of the grinding wheel surfaceThe density of peaks (S ds ) of the resin (positive)replicas was found to increase in the majority of tests where vibration was applied (see Fig. 8), although slight reductions were observed in the 3 trials operating at a table speed of 250mm/min (Tests 4, 10 & 16).Fig. 8. Representative 3D topographical plots of wheel surfacesfollowing grinding; (a) with ultrasonics, (b) without ultrasonicsV c V w S ds of resin replica (pks/mm 2)S a o f g r a p h i t e r e p l i c a (μm )D. Bhaduri et al. / P rocedia CIRP 1( 2012 )359 – 364 364It has been reported that a decrease in wheel S ds is generally allied to a rise in workpiece surface roughness, and vice versa [21]. This was in line with results detailed in Fig. 4 & 7 where an increase in S ds (under vibration) corresponded to a lower workpiece surface roughness (S a). This was attributed to the greater number of active cutting points per grain (due to grit fracture) generated with use of US vibration. Butler et al. [21] further suggested that a decrease in S ds value signalled loss of grain sharpness, implying that wheels became sharper when using ultrasonic assisted grinding. In addition, no wheel loading was observed in any of the tests.4.Conclusions•The use of ultrasonic assisted operation typically resulted in the reduction of grinding forces and associated workpiece surface roughness when creep feed grinding Inconel 718 superalloy. Similarly, a corresponding reduction in radial wheel wear and improvement in wheel G-ratio of between 7 to 45%was obtained when grinding in the hybrid configuration.•In terms of surface quality, SEM micrographs revealed greater side flow/ploughing in slots which were machined with the workpiece vibrated in comparison to standard creep feed ground specimens. Furthermore, larger numbers of overlapping grit marks were visible on surfaces subject to ultrasonic assisted grinding.•Three-dimensional topographic measurements of grinding wheel surface replicas indicated that use ofUS vibration generally led to an increase in the number of active cutting points on the wheel. This subsequently resulted in a decrease of correspondingaverage workpiece surface roughness (S a).AcknowledgementsWe are indebted to Dr. A.C. Mathieson and Prof. M.

摘要摘要随着矿产资源勘探深度的增加,复杂地层与难钻地层钻遇率升高,硬岩层所占比例越来越大,现有钻探技术已不能完全满足当今钻井作业需求。
尤其是在硬岩地层的钻进中,常规钻探方法存在钻头寿命短、钻进效率低、钻探成本高的技术问题。
因此,亟须研究一种高效碎岩技术来解决这一钻进难题,从而提高钻进效率,降低钻进成本。
本文针对上述钻进难题,提出采用超声波振动辅助碎岩的方法。
超声波振动的频率较高,可以达到硬岩的固有频率,岩石在共振条件下会产生较大的振幅,此时岩石内部裂纹裂隙极易发育、扩展及贯通,造成岩石破碎难度的大幅度下降。
但是,随着岩石力学性能劣化现象的产生,其固有频率的下降规律以及其本身的固有频率范围还有待测试研究。
因此,进行超声波振动频率对硬岩破碎规律的研究很有意义,通过研究岩石的破碎规律,一方面可以估算硬岩的固有频率,另一方面可以确定岩石频率的改变规律,用以确定超声波振动频率的加载范围及加载方式,为超声波振动辅助硬岩钻进提供理论指导及技术支持。
本文的研究对象为花岗岩,以试验研究为基础,辅以理论分析及数值模拟分析的研究手段,开展超声波振动频率对硬岩破碎规律的研究。
本论文的主要研究内容及成果如下:(1)结合断裂力学理论和共振碎岩理论,从理论上分析超声波振动下岩石破碎的机理。
建立超声波振动力学模型,开展超声波振动频率对岩石破碎影响规律的分析。
研究结果表明在固有频率范围之内对岩石进行振动加载能更有利于岩石的破碎,系统的阻尼越强则对振动的抑制效果越强。
(2)采用ANSYS/WORKBENCH软件对模型进行了有限元模拟分析。
研究岩石内部裂纹参数对模型模态频率、谐响应频率、应力强度因子以及应力应变变化规律的影响。
研究发现裂纹的走向、尺寸、数量均会造成岩石颗粒模型的模态频率降低的现象,并且岩石应力、应变的峰值随着振动频率的增加呈现先增大后降低的趋势,在振动频率为35KHz时出现最大值。
(3)研制了超声波振动试验台,对花岗岩样品进行超声波振动试验,并对试验前、后的花岗岩样品进行核磁共振检测以及单轴抗压强度测试。

Among all kinds of cladding materials, Fe-based alloys are most similar to steel materials in composition, and their cost is relatively low compared with that of Ni-based and Co-based alloys. In recent years, Fe-based alloys have been widely used in the fields of surface strengthening and remanufacturing of equipment parts. Based on the latest studies in China and abroad, the research progress of laser cladding Fe-based alloy coatings is reviewed from the aspects of material system, process parameter, and application of external field auxiliary technology. Cladding materials play a crucial role in the properties of the coatings. The compatibility, wettability, chemical composition, and physical property differences between the cladding materials and substrate materials should be fully considered on the basis of working condition and performance requirement for selection of cladding materials. The characteristics and applications of various materials including Fe-based self-fluxing alloy powder, stainless steel powder, amorphous alloy powder, and Fe-based composite powder are summarized. The process parameters during the laser cladding process also play a significant role in the deposition rate, forming quality, phase composition, microstructure, and comprehensive properties of the coatings. The effect mechanisms of process parameters such as laser power, scanning speed, laser spot diameter, and powder feeding rate on the forming quality, microstructure, and properties of Fe-based coatings are systematically discussed. It is worth noting that actual laser cladding process is the interaction between multiple parameters, which can lead to a complex nonlinear relationship between the process parameters and quality of the cladding layers. Thus, the application of process parameter optimization in the preparation of high quality coatings is also introduced.Moreover, reasonable cladding material design and optimization of laser cladding process parameters can reduce the number of defects in the coating to a certain extent, but it is still difficult to completely eliminate the cracks in Fe-based coatings with high hardness. Meanwhile, the solidification characteristics of laser cladding through rapid heating and cooling can result in insufficient diffusion of elements in the molten pool, resulting in poor microstructure uniformity of the cladding layer, which ultimately affects its performance. Therefore, the applications of external field auxiliary technologies including ultrasonic vibration field, electromagnetic field, and temperature field in the laser cladding of Fe-based alloy coating are discussed in detail. The mechanism of external energy field on the melting pool and solidification structure during the laser cladding process is illustrated. Finally, the future development direction of laser cladding Fe-based alloy coating is prospected.KEY WORDS: laser cladding; Fe-based coating; research progress; material system; process parameter; external field auxiliary激光熔覆是一种先进的表面改性和修复技术,它利用高能量密度的激光束作为热源,通过将熔覆材料和基体材料快速熔化并凝固,在基体表面形成具有耐磨损、耐腐蚀等性能的强化层[1-2]。

It has been confirmed from the studies that these materials result in properties suitable for microwave applications. The structural properties have con- firmed the formation of cubic spinel ferrite and the substitutions of non magnetic ions have resulted in increase of unit cell dimensions and hence the grain size with increase in dopant content. An IR study asserts the same. Electrical Prop- erties show increase in dc resistivity and decrease in dielectric loss tangent with increase in dopant concentration. Keywords: Electronic Materials; Magnetic Ceramics; Electrical Characterization; Powder Diffraction1. IntroductionLi ferrite is becoming increasingly attractive for micro- wave applications replacing garnets and other spinel fer- rites [1-3]. Microwave devices such as circulators, isola- tors, magnetostatic resonators, filters, switches, limiters and tunable electroptic modulators are the microwave applications of Li ferrites [4]. Recent exponential growth in microwave communication through mobile and satel- lite communications has further stressed the worldwide need for extremely low-loss and economical microwave devices using ferrite materials. In preparation of micro- wave ferrite materials, particular attention should be given to the purity of the raw materials, stoichiometry of the composition and porosity as well as grain characteris- tics of the final product. Characteristics of various mi- crowave ferrites have been minutely reported by Voron- kov et al. [5]. The emergence of Li ferrite as a competent material in microwave devices has resulted from some appropriate chemical substitutions made in it, which in turn result in low dielectric loss tangent, a low magnetic loss tangent at the operating bias field, a low coercive force and a large remanence ratio [6-8]. Low dielectric and magnetic losses are the essential requisites for mi- crowave applications Small amounts of Mn3+ is added to microwave Li ferrites to ensure an acceptably low di- electric loss tangent [9]. Moreover, manganese addition also alter the hysteresis property, reduces magnetocrys- talline anisotropy and magnetostriction in ferrites [9]. Non magnetic ions like Cd2+ and Ti4+ substitutions have been found to be most suitable to obtain high resistivity [10,11]. The site occupancies of the various cations known from earlier works are given as follows. Li1+ has strong preference for B-Site [12], Cd2+ has strong preference for A site [1], Ti4+ also has strong preference for B-site [13], Fe2+ has strong preference for B-site [1] and Mn3+ has strong preference for B-site [14]. From the above survey, it can be envisaged that investigations on the electrical properties of composite non-magnetic ions doping in Li-Mn ferrite may lead to more interesting results as the studies on their independent doping in Lithium ferrites have al- ready resulted in properties suitable for microwave ap- plications [10,11].In this view, the present paper aims to communicate structural and electric properties in Li0.35Cd x Ti x Mn0.1 Fe2.55–2x O4 where x varies from 0 to 0.5.2. ExperimentalSix samples of different compositions were prepared by standard ceramic technique using pure metal oxides in the form of a series Li0.35Cd x Ti x Mn0.1Fe2.55–2x O4 with x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. AR grade chemicals of Li2CO3, CdO, TiO2, Mn2O3 and Fe2O3 were used for the preparation of various compositions in the above ferrite series. These oxides were weighed in the required mole proportions using a single pan balance having least count 0.001 gm and mixed thoroughly in the agate-mortar in acetone for about 2 hrs. The mixture was sieved using a*Corresponding author.Influence of Composite Non Magnetic Ions (Cd-Ti) Doping on Structural and Electrical Properties of Li-Mn Ferrite 145sieve of mesh size 200 micron. The mixture of each com- position was preheated in platinum crucible and were presintered at 300˚C for 2 hours and followed by 600 Influence of Composite Non Magnetic ions (Cd-Ti) Do- ping on Structural and Electrical Properties of Li-Mn Ferrite for 4 hrs and finally sintered at 1000˚C for 8 hours.X-ray Diffractograms of various compositions were obtained using X ray diffractometer Model PW 3710. The various parameters used for X ray diffraction were Target—Cu Kα; Wavelengths λ1 = 1.54056 Å and λ2 = 1.54439 Å; Rate of Scanning—2˚/min and scanning an-gle range 2θ—20˚ to 90˚. Micrographs of various sam- ples were obtained using the scanning electron micro- scope SEM (model JSM-6360A). IR absorption peaks of various compositions were studied using PerkinElmer IR spectrometer (Model 783) with KBr as a solvent. DC resistivities of various prepared samples were studied using two probe set up. Dielectric constant and loss tan- gent in the frequency range 100 Hz - 1 MHz were also measured using HP LCR meter 4284A model.3. Results and DiscussionThe X-Ray diffraction patterns for Li0.35Cd x Ti x Mn0.1 Fe2.55–2x O4 system show sharp peaks indicating formation of single phase spinel ferrite for all compositions. How- ever trace amount of α-Fe2O3 phase is found for x = 0.3 sample. Hence the XRD of x = 0.3 composition is given in the Figure 1. The α-Fe2O3 phase is formed because at higher sintering temperature (>500˚C) there is possibil- ity for a fraction of ferric oxide to get converted into α-Fe2O3. The presence of such a phase in different ferrite is already reported by earlier workers [15].The lattice parameter increases with increasing the content of Cd2+and Ti4+ ions and is shown in Figure 2. This is in accordance with Vegard’s law. The Cd2+ ions have larger ionic radius (0.97 Å) as compared to Fe3+Figure 1. Fe2O3 pattern XRD of Li0.35Cd0.3Ti0.3Mn0.1 Fe1.95O4.Figure 2. Variation of lattice parameter with Cd and Ti content [x] in Li0.35 Cd x Ti x Mn0.1Fe2.55–2x O4 series.(0.65 Å), Ni2+ (0.74 Å) and Li1+ (0.71 Å) ions. The Cd2+ ions successively replace Fe3+ ions on A-site this results in an increase of lattice parameter with Cd content. Same is true for Ti ions at B-sites. Similar results were ob- tained when Cd and Ti were separately doped in Li fer- rite [10,11]. The compositional variations however sug- gest that the lattice parameters for composite non-mag- netic ions doping is increased to larger extent in com- parison to their separate doping in ferrites.The SEM technique was studied to understand the surface morphology of the samples. All compositions have grains with sharp boundaries indicating that grains are fully developed, well packed, crack free with clear grain boundaries. The grain boundaries are district and grains are closely packed in some cases which suggest that compositions exhibit high density values. The SEM images denoted by a, b, c, d, e, and f shows micrographs for compositions x = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. With the addition of Cd-Ti ions the average grain size in- creases as shown in the Figures3(a)-(f). The increase in grain diameter with Cd and Ti content is attributed to the smaller solid solubility of lithium in the samples. It is obvious from the generic formula.The IR spectra of one representative member of ferrite series i.e. x = 0.3 is shown in Figure 4. The IR absorp- tion bands were observed in the range 600 cm–1 to 400 cm–1. The absorption bands obtained in the present investi- gation are found to be in the range reported for many other lithium containing ferrites [16,17]. The difference in band position ν1 and ν2 is expected because the Fe3+-O2–distance for B site (0.199 nm) is different from that of A site (0.189 nm). The tetrahedral vibrations are of bond stretching type while octahedral vibrations are of bond bending type. These types of vibrations also affect the absorption frequency. The octrahedral complex band is found to be suppressed with increase in composite non- magnetic ions content in the ferrite. This can be attri- buted to increase in the lattice parameter and average grain size with increase in Cd-Ti content.Influence of Composite Non Magnetic Ions (Cd-Ti) Doping on Structural and Electrical Properties of Li-Mn Ferrite 146(a) (b) (c)c(d) (e) (f)Figure 3. SEM of series Li0.35Cd x Ti x Mn0.1Fe2.55–2x O4 with x = 0 to 0.5.Variation of logρ vs 103/T for the samples Li0.5Cd x Ti xMn0.1Fe2.55–2x O4 and Li0.35Cd x Ti x Mn0.1Fe2.55–2x O4 with x =0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 are shown in Figure 5. Allthe plots exhibit a linear relationship suggesting that theresistivity obeys a relation ρ =ρ0 exp(ΔE/kT) and cha-nge in slope is observed in case of all the compositions.From figure, it is seen that the variation is almost linearup to Curie temperature where a break occurs indicatinga change of magnetic ordering from ferrimagnetic to para-magnetic. The temperatures where breaks occur coincidewith the Curie temperature determined by permeabilitymeasurements which is not reported here. The exponen-tial increase in resistivity on decrease in temperature isdue to decrease in thermally activated mobility of thecharge carrier. The change in slope is attributed to thechange in the activation energy due to phase transition ofthe material from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic state.This anomaly strongly supports the influence of magneticordering upon the conductivity process in-ferrites. Manyworkers have studied logρ vs (1/T) and observed similarbehaviour suggesting that resistivity obeys the Arrheniusrelation [11,18]. Resistivity studies show that resistivity(ρdc) of the samples in the compositions increase as theCd2+, Ti4+ concentration increases similar to that reportedin 10 and 11 D.C. resistivity of Li-Cd-Ti ferrite can beexplained on the basis of a model based on phonon as-sisted electron hopping. Trace amount of Fe2+ ions arepresent in the present ferrites. The electrons are known toparticipate in the exchange process by the following re-action Fe2+↔ Fe3+ + e. Hence these electrons arestrongly coupled to the lattice and tunnel from one site tothe other due to phonon induced transfer mechanism.Ti4+ ions, being tetravalent, localize Fe2+ ions in the sys-tem and tunneling of electrons by transfer mechanism isretarded due to the reduction of Fe3+ ions which enhancesthe resistivity. The activation energy is estimated to be0.21 eV, which in turn confirms the conduction in pre-sent ferrites are due to small polarons [18].The dielectric constant decreases with increase in fre-quency showing dielectric dispersion as depicted in Fig-ure 6. The decrease in ε with frequency is natural be-cause of the fact that any species contributing to polar-izability is found to show lagging behind the appliedLi-Cd-Ti ferrite can be explained on the basis of a modelbased on phonon assisted electron hopping. Traceamountof Fe2+ ions is present in the present ferrites. The electronsare known to participate in the exchange process by thefollowing reaction Fe2+↔ Fe3+ + e. Hence these elec-trons are strongly coupled to the lattice and tunnel fromone site to the other due to phonon induced transfermechanism. Ti4+ ions, being tetravalent, localize Fe2+ions in the system & tunneling of electrons by transfermechanism is retarded due to the reduction of Fe3+ ionswhich enhances the resistivity. The activation energy isestimated to be 0.21 eV, which in turn confirms the con-duction in present ferrites are due to small polarons [18].Influence of Composite Non Magnetic Ions (Cd-Ti) Doping on Structural and Electrical Properties of Li-Mn Ferrite 1474. ConclusionThe Li 0.35Cd x Ti x Mn 0.1Fe 2.55–2x O 4 system has been suc- cessfully prepared with standard ceramic technique. The most intense (311) peak in XRD pattern confirms the formation of cubic spinel ferrite. The SEM micrograph shows the agglomerated grain structure with sharp grainboundaries due to high sintering temperature. The IR studies show the absorption bands which are in good agreement to the studied literature. The electrical proper- ties study shows the Li-ferrites are the n-type semicon- ductors. The dielectric constant shows usual dispersionbehaviour.Figure 4. IR spectra of Li 0.35Cd x Ti x Mn 0.1Fe 2.55–2x O 4 with x = 0.3.123456789101111.522.533.5Figure 5.

提出用超声振动辅助钎焊的工艺方法制备钎焊CBN 工具,借助超声波在钎焊过程中的空化效应和振荡作用减少钎料合金内部的气孔,同时细化晶粒,以大幅提升磨粒的把持强度。
结果表明:相比于普通钎焊工艺,采用超声振动辅助钎焊工艺的钎料合金铺展更均匀,区域内部气孔尺寸变小,相同面积上气孔数量减少了75%,单颗CBN 磨粒的剪切力提高了27.7%。

Influence of ultrasonic vibration on micro-extrusionCristina Bunget,Gracious Ngaile ⇑Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department,North Carolina State University,Raleigh,NC 27695,USAa r t i c l e i

Tribologya b s t r a c tMicro-forming is a miniaturization technology with great potential for high productivity.Some technical challenges,however,need to be addressed before micro-forming becomes a commercially viable manu-facturing process.These challenges include severe tribological conditions,difficulty in achieving desired tolerances,and short tool-life due to inability of available die materials to withstand the forces exerted on miniature dies and punches.Some of these problems can be mitigated using ultrasonic technology.The principal objectives of this work were to investigate the possibility of applying ultrasonic vibra-tions in the micro-forming process,to design a set of tooling for ultrasonic micro-extrusion and to observe experimentally how ultrasonic oscillations influences the forming load and the surface finish.The test results showed a significant drop on the forming load when ultrasonic vibrations were imposed,and also a significant improvement in the surface of the micro-formed parts.Based on the preliminary test results,the study demonstrated high potential for using ultrasonic oscillations as a way to overcome the difficulties brought by the miniaturization.Ó2011Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionThe production of micro-parts has become more important in fields such as electronics,computers,communication,biotechnol-ogy,medicine,optics and environmental monitoring.Typical example for such parts are pins for IC-carriers,fasteners,micro-screws,lead frames,sockets,and any kind of connecting element (Fig.1).Traditionally these precision mechanical parts are fabri-cated by machining.The net shape or near net shape processes,such as metal forming processes,are best suited for miniaturiza-tion because of the higher productivity and accuracy.Despite the advantages of micro-forming,full utilization of this process has not been realized.Besides the problems that appear in conventional forming processes,like tool design and wear,there are also specific problems related with the miniaturization itself,such as material behavior,higher friction and fabrication of tools.When the process is scaled down,the microstructure and the sur-face topography remain unchanged resulting in different material flow as compared to conventional process.A series of tests in sheet micro-forming has shown that flow stress of material decreases with miniaturization and also tribological conditions are more se-vere at the micro-scale level.The influence of size on flow stress has thoroughly been investigated and well understood [2,3].The tribological effects are,however,not well understood.The dou-ble-cup extrusion test was used to study lubrication conditions for different specimen sizes ranging from 4mm down to 0.5mm diameter.The results showed an increase in apparent friction fac-tor by a factor of 20when the specimen size decreased to 0.5mm diameter [4].The authors formulated a mechanical–rheological model which assumes that the friction stress is affected by minia-turization.This approach was based on the generalized friction law given in Eq.(1).s f ¼f Áa RC Ák ;ð1Þwhere s f is the friction factor,k is the shear yield strength of the material,f is the friction factor,and a RC is the real contact area ratio.They showed that both f and a RC are not constant,but they are size dependent and become larger as the process is scaled down.Another approach of investigating the effect of miniaturization on friction was proposed by Bunget [5].Finite element analysis was used to simulate backward-cup extrusion tests for the same specimen size and different dimensions of the punch,going from 6mm (macro-forming)down to 0.5mm in the cup wall thickness (micro-forming).The ratio of the frictional energy to the total energy at different percent of the stroke was calculated.A compar-ative analysis between deformation in macro-forming and micro-forming can be drawn by considering the deformation energy associated with metal forming as expressed by the functional [6]:Y¼I 1þI 2ÀI 3¼ZVr d _ edV þk ZV_eV d _e V dV ÀZSFF i d u i ds ð2Þwhere

=0.1–0.15),which could result to non-defective parts,the ratio between frictional energy and deformation energy (R macro =I 3/I 1)associated with classic macro-forming is usually of the order of 0.1or less.With micro-forming,however,the ratio of friction energy to defor-mation energy increases significantly (Fig.2).This dramatic in-crease implies that much better lubrication is imperative in micro-forming because the interface friction can become dominant in the process.Furthermore,the typical lubricants used in cold macro-forming,such as zinc phosphate +metal soap,become inef-fective for micro-forming because the lubricant film thickness (e.g.,20l m)may exceed the tolerance level of the micro-parts.The investigations have also shown an increase in scattering with miniaturization [3],and therefore difficulty in achieving de-sired tolerances.Other problems that appear in micro-forming are the fabrication of the tools,which need to be very small with very close tolerances and a good surface quality.The fact that mi-cro-forming tools are also subjected to forces that may exceed the capacity of available die materials presents a great challenge as these tools are prone to short tool life.New manufacturing meth-ods have been developed,such as micro-electrical discharging machining:micro-wire EDM,micro die sinking,electrical dis-charge drilling,micro-electrical discharge milling and grinding,but the problem of the high forces exerted on the tools still needs to be resolved [7].There is a great potential to overcome some of the drawbacks of the miniaturization by applying the ultrasonic vibration during mi-cro-forming process.The application of ultrasonic vibration in me-tal forming at macro-scale has been discussed for many years and some benefits were observed,such as a reduction in the flow stress and a considerable reduction of the external friction between tool and workpiece.The flow stress was observed experimentally to be considerably lowered by the ultrasonic oscillations superimposed on the compressive forming process [8].This phenomenon was attributed to dynamical effects of stress,velocity and acceleration due to vibration,and also thermal effects due to heat generation.Earlier studies of the effects of the longitudinal oscillations im-posed on the wire drawing revealed two possible effects of the ultrasonic oscillations superimposed on the forming process:vol-ume effects and surface effects [8–10].The volume effects are re-lated with a decrease in the flow stress.The surface effects are related with the changing of the frictional conditions at the die/specimen interface.The application of longitudinal,radial and tor-sional oscillations in rolling processes resulted in changes in the apparent friction coefficient,as a result of the pumping of the lu-bricant phenomenon,softening or melting the asperities,separa-tion of the surfaces,allowing a re-distribution of the lubricant [11].Investigations on superimposing ultrasonic oscillations on the tube drawing showed a significant reduction in the flow stress [12].Other investigations were carried out to study the effect of the shape and length of the concentrator,or the tool attachment,an important part in the ultrasonic system.The concentrator shapes that were found to be more effective were conical,stepped and exponential [13].Most studies on the applications of ultra-sonic vibrations on metal forming seem to reach the same conclu-sions regarding the benefit of ultrasonic oscillations:reduction of the forming forces,reduction of the flow stress,reduction of the friction between die and workpiece and production of better sur-face qualities and higher precision.Despite these benefits wide application of this technology is still limited.This is due to high cost of designing a ultrasonic system and the cost associated with energy that is required to induce the vibrations [14].The objectives of this study are to investigate the possibility of applying the ultrasonic vibrations in the micro-forming process and to investigate their influence on material flow,forming load and tribological characteristics.It is anticipated that ultrasonic technology can overcome some of the difficulties brought by miniaturization.2.Ultrasonic micro-extrusion process mechanismThe following sections examine the physics of the extrusion process when longitudinal ultrasonic oscillations are superim-posed on the dies.Three different extrusion processes will be dis-cussed:forward-rod extrusion,double-cup extrusion,and forward-rod-backward-cup extrusion.A schematic diagram of the ultrasonic forward-rod extrusion pro-cess is shown in Fig.3.The punch pushes down the billet,forcing it to go through the die cavity,in order to form a rod with a reduced diameter.The workpiece goes through three zones:the guiding zone (Zone I ),the deformation zone (Zone II ),and the exit zone (Zone III ).All three zones are characterized by sliding friction,but the deformation zone also experiences plastic deformation.In the ultrasonic extrusion process,the ultrasonic oscillation can be im-posed on the die or on the punch.It is usually more practical to oscillate the dies,since the purpose is to have a large relative mo-tion between the die and workpiece.In this case,the ultrasonic oscillations are imposed on the die,and it is assumed that the vibratory motion is not transmitted to the punch.The material will enter with velocity v 0,given by the punch,but will exit with adif-Fig.1.Extruded micro-parts [1].15%20%25%30%35%40%n e r g y / T o t a l E n e r g y[%]Wall thickness 0.5Wall thickness 2.551(2011)606–616607ferent velocity,v e .The die will vibrate with an oscillatory velocity v D ,and an amplitude a (Fig.3).This velocity is larger than the velocity of the material to be deformed.Because of the relative velocity between the die and material,micro gaps between die and material are created and closed at every cycle of oscillation.This changes the contact pressure characteristics at the interface.It can be observed that under ultrasonic oscillations the direction of the friction force reverses for every period of oscillation,thus changing the friction characteristic at the tool-workpiece interface.Therefore,with proper design of an ultrasonic micro-forming sys-tem,tribological performance can be enhanced.The schematic of ultrasonic double cup backward extrusion pro-cess is shown in Fig.4.The billet is placed in the die,between the two punches.The lower punch is stationary and the upper punch is moving down,forcing the workpiece material to flow and to form the two cups.There are three distinctive zones:zones I and III where the lower and upper cups are formed respectively,characterized by sliding friction and Zone II where plastic deforma-tion occurs.The application of ultrasonic oscillations can be accomplished in a similar manner as forward-rod extrusion dis-cussed above.In the classical double-cup extrusion process,the material flows easier in the upper cup in the presence of friction.But the periodic change in direction of the friction force causedIn examining various extrusion processes,emphasis was on identifying changes pertaining to the relative velocities between the die and the workpiece that are associated with the introduction of ultrasonic oscillations.Altering relative motion in time and space from motions that could be observed in classical metal form-ing without ultrasonic necessarily affects friction characteristics,interface pressure characteristics,and other process variables.These changes/transformations can be exploited to enhance the process by carefully designing an ultrasonic forming system.Other key aspects pertaining to the application of ultrasonic technologies include;(a)the ultrasonic oscillations are brought in the deforma-tion zone through a concentrator connected to a transducer as shall be discussed in the next section,(b)the ultrasonic oscillations could be imposed on the die or the punch,and in rare cases on the workpiece because the workpiece undergoes changes in dimensions and shape during the deformation process.In general,it is preferred to impose the oscillations on the dies,(c)Because of high relative velocity between the die and deforming billet a signif-icant heat can be generated at the interface.The increase in the temperature at the die-specimen interface will influence the behavior of the lubricant,and (d)for classical metal forming,the application of ultrasonic oscillations is practical only when the sav-ings in the energy required for providing the forming load is larger Fig.3.Ultrasonic forward-rod extrusion process schematic.Fig.4.Ultrasonic double cup backward extrusion process

made from aluminum,brass and copper materials with billet dimension rang-ing from 0.5to 2mm diameter and 1to 5mm length,(c)conceive a design that will attain maximum relative velocity at the die-work-piece interface and that the transmission of the oscillations to the rest of the structure should be minimal,(d)the setup should be de-signed for 2kW ultrasonic generator at frequencies between 20kHz and 21kHz,(e)the setup should be designed for an ultra-sonic transducer which operates at a natural frequency of 20kHz and oscillation amplitude of 10l m,and (f)the set-up should pro-duce useful mode shapes,i.e.longitudinal and radial-torsional at a natural frequency of 20kHz.In order to fulfill the above design requirements a preliminary design shown in Fig.6was conceived.The main parts of the ultra-sonic micro-extrusion system are,the ultrasonic generator which is connected to the ultrasonic transducer,the concentrator which takes the oscillations from the transducer and transmits them to the lower forming unit,the upper and lower forming units,and the hydraulic actuation cylinder which provides the forming load tothe upper part of the forming unit.The actuation cylinder is con-nected to the pump and the control system.Fig.7a shows a concentrator assembly which is comprised of several parts;die,punch,outside cone,inside cone,lock nut and the concentrator body.A simplified model of the concentrator is shown in Fig.7b.The simplified model shows that a longitudinal wave transmitted by the piezoelectric transducer at the base of the concentrator attains maximum amplitude at the deformation zone.The figure also shows that a radial wave transmitted into the disc attains zero amplitude at the clamping zone.As shown in Fig.7b,the geometric parameters to be established for the con-centrator are L i ,L m ,L o ,/d ,/i ,/m ,/o ,and t .Some of the concentrator dimensions are imposed by the practical aspects of the design such as dimensions of the dies and punches,provision for clamping the concentrators,etc.Table 1shows material properties and other parameters that were used for the design.It can be seen from Table 1that a wave length of 260mm will be exhibited at the desired fre-quency of 20,000Hz.To attain zero displacement amplitude at the clamping zone (Fig.7b)the diameter of the disc should be equal to the wave length.All other geometric parameters were iterated with the aid of the finite element method as discussed in the next section.3.1.Modal analysisIn the course of optimizing the ultrasonic micro-extrusion sys-tem,finite element analysis was carried out.In order to ensure that the natural frequency is close to the excitation frequency given by the transducer,several finite element iterations were carried out to determine the remaining dimensions of the system.Fig.8shows the boundary conditions used in the modal analysis.At location A,all nodes on the bottom surface of the base plate were con-strained in all degree of freedom.The model was also constrained at location B.This is the location where the ultrasonic transducer will be connected.In order to mimic the type of the boundary con-ditions resulted from the application of the ultrasonic oscillations all nodes on the connection surface were constrained in the axial direction.Several useful mode shapes were found in the range between 19,000Hz and 21,000Hz:Fig.9a shows a radial mode shape at 20,176Hz,and Fig.9b shows a longitudinal mode shape at 20,354Hz.Both mode shapes may result in enhancement of the tribological conditions at the die-workpiece interface.Some of the benefits of longitudinal mode shape are due to the fact that this mode shape will result in friction force reversal and formation of gaps,particularly,for forward extrusion and forward-rod-back-ward-cup extrusion processes.The benefit emanating from radial mode shape includes enhancing uniform distribution of lubricant at theinterface.Fig.5.Ultrasonic forward

Rs(top surface of die holder)for three input displacements are plotted in Fig.10.The maximum displacement is reached at the resonance frequency of20,400Hz,and all the mode shapes cor-responding to the three input displacement were longitudinal. Fig.10shows that for input displacement of1l m,5l m and 10l m,the die exhibited longitudinal displacement amplitudes of 47l m,237l m and474l m respectively.3.3.Conceived tooling setupFig.11shows the developed ultrasonic micro-extrusion set-up. Before carrying out the experiment the actual displacement of the die due to ultrasonic vibration had to be established.Strain gauges were mounted on the top part of the die holder(outer cone,see Fig.7a)and on the top head of the piezoelectric transducer.The strain gauges provided local elongation and contraction of the die holder as the wave propagated.These values were later correlated with harmonic response analysis.Fig.12shows displacement amplitude at the location where the strain gauges were mounted for the outer cone and the transducer head.The gauge on the trans-ducer shows a displacement of1.3l m and the strain gauge on the die holder shows an average displacement of10l m.Harmonic analysis was then carried out for transducer input displacement of1.3l m.The frequency response curve for the top surface of the die holder and the displacement map are shown in Fig.13.A maximum displacement of61.6l m is observed.From the values given on the displacement map scale,local elongation of the die holder can be determined.For example,by subtracting the top two displacement values on the scale(61.626–54.094=7.5l m) we can obtain local elongation of the die holder.This implies that, the top5mm length of the die holder exhibited a maximum elon-gation of about7.5l m.The strain gauges mounted at this location gave an average of10l m.Since these two values are close,we could assume that the displacement values obtained from har-monic analysis are reasonable.I.e.,the die can therefore be as-sumed to oscillate at maximum amplitude of61.6l m.During the experiment the tooling exhibited a resonance frequency of 20,490Hz.As shown from Fig.13the resonance frequency fromharmonic analysis was 20,400Hz.Only a slight difference of 90Hz is observed between experiment and simulation.3.4.Experimental set-up and test proceduresThe developed test set-up discussed above was used to study the influence of lubricant on the ultrasonic vibrations for forward extrusion (FE),double-cup extrusion (DCE)and forward backward extrusion (FBCE)processes.As shown in Fig.11,the main compo-nents of the test set-up are;punch and die assemblies,lever for actuating the forming load,2kW ultrasonic generator and 20kHzHarmonic response analysis for a 1.3l m transducer displacement input (frequency response is taken at the top surface of the die holder).Fig.14.Dies and punches for (a)FE and (b)DCE.Table 2Test matrix and lubricant types.LubricantNumber of experiments FEDCE FBCE Lub 1[Polymeric lubricant]6138Lub 2[Dailube DR-38]344Lub 3[Lubsol W-72SK]111116Polymeric lubricant (C –84%,O –15%,Na –0.2%,Si –0.05%,P –0.3%,S –0.45%).Dailube DR-38.Lubsol W-72SK (C –84.74%,O –12.75%,Na –1.25%,Si –0.08%,P –0.22%,S –0.98%).612 C.Bunget,G.Ngaile /Ultrasonics 51(2011)606–616tools are a combination of those used in the other two tests.Thematerials used for the experiments were aluminum(AA1100) and brass.The samples were cut from a long wire of2mm diame-ter in small pieces of5mm length for forward-rod extrusion,4mm for forward-rod-backward-cup extrusion tests,and3mm length for double-cup extrusion test.Table2presents the test matrix, specifying the number of experiments carried out for each case and the three lubricants used in the experiments.Before the test,the diameter and length of each billet were measured.After that,the billet is dipped in the lubricant.In order tofind thefilm thickness,the billet is weighed before and after lubricant application.Table3presents the lubricantfilm thickness for some of the billets.Just before the forming load is applied, ultrasonic vibration is activated from the generator.As discussed in Section3.3the ultrasonic amplitude applied to the die for all the tests was61l m.The time for application of the ultrasonic oscillations is10s.Fig.15presents the micro-parts obtained from the experiments.After the experiments,micrographs were taken using scanning electron microscopy(HITACHI S3200NSEM)which was used to study the influence of the ultrasonic oscillations on the surface quality.Table3Film thickness for different lubricants and specimens.Lubricant Billet size(mm)Weight lubricant(g)Surface billet(mm2)Film thickness(g/mm2) Lub1£1.91Â5.110.00636.370.1650Â10À3Without Ultrasonic With UltrasonicWithout UltrasonicWith UltrasonicWithout Ultr asonicWith Ultr asonicC.Bunget,G.Ngaile/Ultrasonics51(2011)606–616613614 C.Bunget,G.Ngaile/Ultrasonics51(2011)606–616cants in all tests was enhanced by ultrasonic vibrations.The lubri-cant found more effective was lubricant1for DCE test,and lubri-cant3for FE and FBCE tests.4.2.Influence of ultrasonic oscillations on surfacefinishUsing scanning electron microscope,a comparison between the surfacefinish of the specimens obtained after the tests with and without ultrasonic oscillations was carried out.This aspect of the surface is a key factor in understanding the lubrication mechanism. Micrographs were taken for all types of tests and all lubricants.The surface quality was observed to be improved in all ultrasonic tests.Fig.20brings together the micrographs for forward-rod extru-sion tests and forward–backward-cup extrusion with and without ultrasonic oscillation[6].Sample locations where micrographs were taken are also shown.Fig.20shows a significant improve-ment in the surface quality when ultrasonic vibration was used.The differences between the surfacefinish obtained after classic double-cup micro-extrusion test and the ultrasonic test are pre-sented in Fig.21[6].Micrographs were taken in different zones. The surfaces obtained in non-ultrasonic conditions presents scars which indicate sticking conditions and localized smearing with subsequent shearing of the junctions.The surfaces obtained when ultrasonic oscillations were used show a significant improvement in the lubrication regimes.There are some isolated scars in zone 1.Zone3does not show much scars,rather this zone exhibit roughening and formation of tiny lubricant pockets,indicating a much more favorable lubrication condition.The differences in the surface quality are attributed to various factors,some of which can be understood by studying the possible lubrication mechanisms in non-ultrasonic and ultrasonic test. Ultrasonic oscillation results in high instantaneous relative veloci-ties at the tool/workpiece interface.This leads to reduction of adhesive bond formation and hence better lubrication conditions.At the same time,because of the change in the direction of the rel-ative movement,there is a change in the direction of the friction force that helps the material toflow easier than in the classic test.Also because of the relative velocity,the pockets formed by the surface roughness trap the lubricant and keep it in the deformation zone.The lubricant is better distributed at the interface and keeps up with the expansion of the surface and the generation of the new surface during the deformation process.Due to these changes,the lubrication conditions are improved leading to reduction in the friction coefficient at the tool-workpiece interface.5.ConclusionsIn this paper the influence of ultrasonic vibration on micro-extrusion processes is investigated.An ultrasonic micro-forming tooling was developed and micro-extrusion experiments were con-ducted.The forming load and the surfacefinish after deformation were some of the aspects studied.Based on results of the tests, the following conclusions were reached:Ultrasonic oscillations influence significantly the friction and lubrication mechanism at the die/workpiece interface.Higher instantaneous sliding velocities help to shift a boundary lubri-cation regime to a mixed-film regime and sticking conditions to a boundary regime.Better lubrication conditions and better surfacefinish with ultrasonic oscillations suggest that ultrasonic micro-forming isa viable process for difficult-to-lubricate materials.The magnitude of the ultrasonic oscillations effects depends on the type of the extrusion process,but is also influenced by the lubricant composition.The reduction in friction will result in a reduction in load,thus in less energyconsumption.In conclusion,the study has demonstrated that there is high po-tential for using ultrasonic vibration as a way to overcome some the difficulties brought by the miniaturization.
