Effect of Vibration Direction on Vibration-Assisted Fixed Abrasive Polishing

Abstract

In order to study the effect of vibration direction on vibration-assisted fixed abrasive polishing and explore the influence rule of vibration direction on material removal rate and workpiece surface quality, a single abrasive particle vibration-assisted fixed abrasive polishing model was established to study the effect of axial and radial vibration on workpiece profile depth, surface morphology, etc. And the experiments of vibration-assisted fixed abrasive polishing in different vibration directions were carried out. The results show that axial vibration auxiliary polishing can greatly advance the processing efficiency, and improve the workpiece material removal rate by 27.6%; radial vibration auxiliary polishing can achieve better surface quality, and reduces the surface roughness by 59.8%.
