Investigation into machining characteristics of silicon carbide ceramics using ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding method

Abstract

Difficult-to-machining materials are widely used in industry, due to their excellent material properties. However, the ultra-precision machining of difficult-to-machining is difficulty issue, due to their properties of super hard and super brittle. Ultrasonic assisted machining has a prominent role in processing difficult materials, because it combines the advantages of traditional processing and ultrasonic vibration. In this paper, ultrasonic assisted grinding processing method was used to machining silicon carbide material, using a self-made machining equipment, to explore the processing characteristics of ultrasonic assisted grinding in the processing of difficult-to-machining materials.
