Abstract
In this paper, surface/subsurface damage mechanism of engineering ceramics under ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding was studied by experiment based on its theoretical study. The study shows: under the same grinding conditions, ultrasonic grinding can realize plastic grinding and low crack damage surface grinding in a larger range of cutting depth than that under common grinding, that can improve processing efficiency and reduce workpiece grinding damage. Meanwhile, ultrasonic vibration grinding process can be seen as periodical loading and unloading process of abrasive on the workpiece. Crack is formed and extends initially on loading, the speed of crack expansion slows down, and its direction offsets to workpiece free surface on unloading as the change of ultrasonic force direction. So cracks can not expand to material deep and shallow sub-surface cracks are left in workpiece sub-surface layer. This phenomenon may be one of the main reasons that subsurface damage is reduced on ultrasonic grinding.
