A Study on Ultrasonic Torsional Vibration-Assisted Abrasive Waterjet Polishing of Ceramic Materials

Abstract

Abrasive waterjet machining is considered as a promising technique in hard-brittle material polishing. In this paper, The ultrasonic torsional vibration is considered to apply on the workpiece to improve the abrasive waterjet polishing quality and efficiency. The process parameters in the ultrasonic torsional vibration-assisted abrasive waterjet polishing are optimized. The ultrasonic torsional vibration in the role of the abrasive waterjet polishing is investigated. The results show that the application of ultrasonic torsional vibration can effect of abrasive particle movement and increase the critical depth of the ceramic materials.
