5. Conclusions
- Because of the effect of ultrasonic vibration, the cutting force of UAMAF is increased greatly, and is 2 to 4 times greater than that of MAF in the range of the ultrasonic amplitude of 6μm to 14 μm. Moreover, the cutting force of UAMAF is increased approximately linearly with the increase in ultrasonic amplitude.
- The cutting force is decreased rapidly with the increase in the machining gap, due to the energy loss of ultrasonic vibration transmission between the end face of the magnetic pole and the magnetic abrasive, and between magnetic abrasives, and the ultrasonic force is decreased by about 60% in every layer in UAMAF.
- The wave crest removal is lower, the surface area of the workpiece is larger, and there are more effective abrasives involved in machining as the feed rate is increased gradually; thus, the cutting force is increased with the increase in the feed rate in UAMAF and MAF. At the same time, due to the effect of ultrasonic vibration, the cutting force and material removal efficiency are greater, and therefore, the cutting force of UAMAF is increased faster than that of MAF relative to the feed rate.
- The amount of magnetic abrasives that are thrown out is increased gradually as the spindle speed increases, due to the increase in centrifugal force during machining. As a result, the number of magnetic abrasives participating in machining is decreased, and the cutting force of UAMAF and MAF is reduced gradually with the increase in spindle speed.
- Due to the vertex effect of UAMAF, the surface roughness decreased rapidly at the beginning of machining, then decreased more and more slowly, and finally, remained basically unchanged with the increase in machining time.
- Because of the increase in cutting force, the material removal rate of UAMAF is greater than that of MAF. It can realize the rapid removal of the wave crest on the surface of the titanium alloy and the rapid reduction of the surface roughness. Therefore, the machining efficiency of UAMAF can be increased by about four times, compared with MAF.
- The amount of diamond grits on the surface of the magnetic abrasive is decreased gradually with the increase in machining time, and the main wear type of the magnetic abrasive is that the diamond grits fell off from the magnetic abrasive in both UAMAF and MAF.
- Due to the effect of ultrasonic vibration, the spatial position in the machining gap and the attitude of the magnetic abrasive are more easily changed in UAMAF. Therefore, the probability of all magnetic abrasives in the machining gap and diamond grits on the magnetic abrasive directly participating in machining is increased greatly, the uniform wear of the magnetic abrasive is realized, and the utilization ratio of the magnetic abrasive is improved greatly.
