Abstract
This article presents experimental results of precision machining of steel alloys with polycrystalline diamond tools. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting was tried out for expanding the application of diamond tools for high-precision and high-quality machining of ferrous materials. The experimental results show that compared with conventional turning, the cutting performance, in terms of cutting force, surface finish, and tool life, was improved by applying ultrasonic vibration to the cutting tool. The cutting forces and tool wear measured in vibration cutting are much lower than those in conventional cutting. The tool wear mechanism was discussed on the basis of the observation of wear zone.Keywords
