Abstract
The paper deals with the behavior of the rotary ultrasonic machining process at different cutting speeds of ceramic materials. This process is relatively new; therefore, there are gaps in information about its behavior at near-critical parameters. We adjusted cutting speeds 10 times lower and 10 times higher than the recommended one. The observed parameters were machine load, tool wear, and surface roughness. Alumina and zirconia ceramics were used as materials. The results will help with the optimization of the cutting parameters of the rotary ultrasonic machining process.
Highlights
Our goal is to determine the behavior of selected ceramic materials when machined at very high and very low cutting speeds
High cutting speeds are suitable for rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of zirconia
Medium cutting speeds achieve very good results as well—the lowest spindle load and torque and tool wear, low machine loads, and the worst surface roughness were reached; the value for parameter Ra was under 1 μm, which is still considered a smooth surface
Summary
Our goal is to determine the behavior of selected ceramic materials when machined at very high and very low cutting speeds
