Ultrasonic Flaw Detection in Ceramics

Comparison of Cutting Ceramics with Hard Metal Cutting Tools

Cutting ceramic tools are used especially at high cutting speeds in the machining process. The highly brittle type of structure and the tendency for cleavage (crack formation) are the infavorable properties of these materials, which keep their hardness at high temperatures. The hard metals are produced by sintering of the carbides such as whisker WC, TiC and TaC with the presence of Co as a bin...

Mirror Surface Finishing of Hardened Die Steel by High-power Ultrasonic Elliptical Vibration Cutting

Ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting has recently been utilized in industry for finishing of various precision parts such as mirror surface finishing and precision micro machining of dies and molds. However, its application has been limited to high-cost ultra-precision machining, where depth of cut is typically in a range from a few micrometers to several tens of micrometers due to power lim...

Influence of ultrasonic vibration on micro-extrusion.

Micro-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 manufacturing process. These challenges include severe tribological conditions, difficulty in achieving desired tolerances, and short tool-life due to inability of available die materials to withstan...
