“…The 1D UVA cutting was initially proposed in the 1950s to reduce cutting forces, extend tool life and improve accuracy, dealing with metal components such as aluminium, brass, mild steel and cast iron [9,14,[19][20][21][22][23]. Further studies reported that it was also effective in the cutting of other types of materials such as glass and ceramics [1,[24][25][26].…”

Ultrasonic vibration-assisted (UVA) machining is a process which makes use of a micro-scale high frequency vibration applied to a cutting tool to improve the material removal effectiveness. Its principle is to make the tool-workpiece interaction a microscopically non-monotonic process to facilitate chip separation and to reduce machining forces. It can also reduce the deformation zone in a workpiece under machining, thereby improving the surface integrity of a component machined. There are several types of UVA machining processes, differentiated by the directions of the vibrations introduced relative to the cutting direction. Applications of UVA machining to a wide range of workpiece materials have shown that the process can considerably improve machining performance. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive discussion and review about some key aspects of UVA machining such as cutting kinematics and dynamics, effect of workpiece materials and wear of cutting tools, involving a wide range of workpiece materials including metal alloys, ceramics, amorphous and composite materials. Some aspects for further investigation are also outlined at the end.

“…Ultrasonically assisted machining was first introduced in the late 1960s by Skelton (Skelton, 1968). A significant improvement in surface roughness (Maurotto et al, 2012) and substantial reduction in cutting forces was observed in UAT (Muhammad et al, 2013a).…”

Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication.A definitive version was subsequently pub- enhanced machinability generating short chips during metal cutting, which prevents entanglement with cutting tools improving productivity. To further enhance the machinability of this material, a novel hybrid machining technique called ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) was used. Experimental investigations were carried out to study the machinability, chip shapes, cutting forces, temperature in the process zone and surface roughness for conventional and ultrasonically assisted turning of both alloys. UAT shows improved machinability with reduced nominal cutting forces, improved surface roughness of the machined workpiece and generation of shorter chips when compared to conventional machining conditions.

“…The first vibration-assisted machining technique was used in the 1960s by Skelton (Skelton, 1968). This novel technique offered a significant improvement in processing of modern alloys by reducing the level of cutting forces considerably, and provide a better surface finish of machined components (Moriwaki et al, 1992).…”

Recently, a non-conventional machining technique known as ultrasonically assisted turning (UAT) was introduced to machine modern alloys, in which low-energy, highfrequency vibration is superimposed on the movement of a cutting tool during a conventional cutting process. This novel machining technique, results in a multi-fold decrease in the level of cutting forces with a concomitant improvement in surface finish of machined modern alloys. Also, since the late 20 th century, machining of wear resistant materials that soften when heated have been carried out with hot machining techniques. In this paper, a new hybrid machining technique called Hot Ultrasonically AssistedTurning (HUAT) is introduced for the processing of a Ti-based alloy. In this technique,UAT is combined with a traditional hot machining technique to gain combined advantages of both schemes for machining of intractable alloys. HUAT of the Ti alloy was analysed experimentally and numerically to demonstrate the benefits in terms of reduction in the cutting forces and improvement in surface roughness over a wide range of industrially relevant speed-feed combinations for titanium alloys.
