Abstract
By studying the movement of ultrasonically assisted abrasives, combined with simulation experiments of abrasive flow in internal flow channels, the study on ultrasonic assisted abrasive flow machining of internal flow channels in additive manufacturing is carried out. Simulations were performed on the channels of AlSi10Mg aluminum alloy printed components, yielding the optimal process parameters for abrasive flow machining: a processing pressure of 10 MPa, abrasive particle size of 270 mesh, and abrasive concentration of 60%. By comparing the surface morphology of the combined straight and curved flow channels before and after applying ultrasonically assisted abrasive flow machining, it was evident that the application of ultrasonic assistance yielded superior removal of surface defects on additive manufacturing parts. However, its ability to remove the spheroidization effect in deeper concave areas is limited. The efficiency of abrasive flow machining and the surface quality of the parts were enhanced with the incorporation of ultrasonic vibration. Under the optimal polishing process parameter combination of an ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz, a tool head amplitude of 30 μm, and a processing time of 360 s, the surface roughness (Ra) of the straight section reduced to 0.165 5 μm, while the surface roughness (Ra) of the curved section reduced to 0.371 8 μm.
