The micro-jet is the main mechanism of cavitation on materials. More and more ultrasonic assisted machining uses effect in industrial field. In this paper, impact considered micro-cutting process. To deeply analyze micro-jet, size materials was considered, force model established solved based spherical indentation test theory strain gradient plasticity theory. results showed that pressure with ...

Titanium has a wide variety of applications, particularly in the aerospace industry. However, because of its low thermal conductivity and high strength, machining of titanium is very difficult. The heat generated in machining can dramatically shorten the tool life. Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is a non-traditional machining process, and has been used to machine various difficult-to-machine...

Elliptical vibration cutting technology is well-known for its excellent performance in ultraprecision machining of steel materials with single crystal diamond tools. This paper presents two approaches to attain high-performance microand macro-scale sculpturing for steel materials by utilizing elliptical vibration cutting. In order to attain free-form sculpturing in macro-scale, a 4-axis control...

In Electrical Discharge Machining, oxides (or debris) are created and accumulated in the sparking gap between an electrode and a work piece. If the debris density becomes too great in certain points in the gap, there is a reduction in the resistance, which encourages the formation of abnormal discharges, results in significant electrode damage and slows down the material removal rate. To enhanc...

the micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro wire-edm) process is a modern machining process with various applications in manufacturing micro-parts. the recast layer remaining on the machined surfaces is an inevitable complication of this process. this layer can subsequently affect the machined parts performance. to optimize the recast layer in the micro wire-edm of the molybdenum micro...

This paper presents a new statistical-based method of tool life monitoring for turning process, called Integrated Kurtosis-based Algorithm for Z-filter Technique, I-kaz, which was based on statistical analysis. The I-kaz method calculates the related coefficient for the measured machining signals. The input data of the I-kaz was acoustic signal that was generated during machining process, which...

In micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), dielectric plays a significant role during the machining process as different types of dielectrics have different chemical compositions, cooling rates and dielectric strengths. For this, dissimilar process responses are accounted when machining in EDM at micron level. The present paper investigates micro-EDM characteristics such as material r...
