Ultrasonic vibration-assisted hard turning of AISI 52100 steel: comparative evaluation and modeling using dimensional analysis

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV MATERIAL SCIENCE Том 23 № 3 2021 EQUIPMEN . INSTRUM TS Vol. 5 No. 4 2023 first set, UVAHT experiments are performed using constant frequency of 20 kHz with a vibrational amplitude of 20 µm. To understand UVAHT better, a theoretical model for power consumption and flank wear were developed using dimensional analysis. The second set of experiments was performed to calibrate the developed model considering the effect of cutting speed, frequency, and amplitude of vibrations. The cutting conditions used for comparative evaluation and theoretical modeling are depicted in table 2.

A Dino-Lite digital microscope with a magnification of up to 240X was used to measure tool wear. A clamp meter, which looks like a clothespin, was used to measure the current carried by a live wire. A clamp meter detects the magnetic field created by a flowing current in a wire. The power consumption during turning is given by the product of voltage and measured current. The actual set of machining conditions as per the design of experiment is shown in table 3. In the case of conventional turning, frequency and amplitude were considered to be zero, and in the case of ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning, frequency and amplitude were kept constant at 20 kHz and 20 µm respectively.
