Abstract

We designed and fabricated suitable vibrational equipment for ultrasonic assisted oblique turning process to enable researchers to perform experimental tests with the operating conditions closest to common assumptions of cutting mechanics theories. Applying ultrasonic vibrations to the tool cutting edge along tangential direction and in the presence of inclination and tool cutting edge angles necessitates a novel design and fabrication of vibrational horn with special oblique geometry. In this vibrational horn, the natural frequency of longitudinal vibration mode is forced to be in a certain frequency range of the ultrasonic power supply. The novel tool-workpiece assembly was designed using modal analysis to provide the most conformity of cutting geometry and process parameters between theory and practice. Three-dimensional cutting forces were measured experimentally in vibrational oblique turning process carried out by the mentioned horn. The most suitable conditions to profit from ultrasonic vibrations in oblique turning process were determined, and these experimental results were in agreement with modal analysis results.
