Rotary ultrasonic texturing （RUT） technique has been proved to be capable of fabricating periodic micro- and nanostructures. In the present study, diamond tools with geometrically defined cutting edges were designed for fabricating different types of tailored surface textures using the RUT method. Surface generation mechanisms and machinable structures of the RUT process are analyzed and simulated with a 3D-CAD program. Textured surfaces generated by using a triangular pyramid cutting tip are constructed. Different textural patterns from several micrometers to several tens of micrometers with few burrs were successfully fabricated, which proved that tools with a proper two-rake-face design are capable of removing cutting chips efficiently along a sinusoidal cutting locus in the RUT process. Technical applications of the textured surfaces are also discussed. Wetting properties of textured aluminum surfaces were evaluated by combining the test of surface roughness features. The results show that the real surface area of the textured aluminum surfaces almost doubled by comparing with that of a flat surface, and anisotropic wetting properties were obtained due to the obvious directional textural features.展开更多

A number of holes are sometimes required to be drilled into super alloys for aircraft at their final stage assembly. In the present study, a hybrid ultrasonic machining method, called rotary ultrasonic machining （RUM）, was successfully used in super alloy drilling. The empirical modeling of the process parameters of RUM was performed for the super alloy （Inconel 718） using an experimental design approach, called response surface methodology （RSM）. Parameters, namely tool rotation, feed rate, ultrasonic power, and abrasive grit size, were selected as input variables. The others were kept constant. The performance was measured in terms of the machining rate and the surface roughness. The developed models were found to be reliable representatives of the experimental results with prediction errors less than 4-5%. Moreover, the feed rate for the quality and productivity aspect was found to be the most critical factor. The optimized values of the machining rate and the surface roughness achieved through a multi-response optimization were 0.9 825 mm3/s and 0.951 i.tm, respectively.展开更多
