Abstract

With the rapid development of processing technology, increasing processing efficiency is no longer the only goal but also the utilization of green and clean manufacturing procedures is required. Consequently, the development of an efficient processing strategy for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) is of great importance. In this work, the orthogonal test of single-grain scratches was conducted under different lubrication modes. From the acquired results, the utilization of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) from vegetable oil showed the best results, with the average scratch force of 44.4 N and the average surface elevation of 26.893 μm. The reduction compared to dry lubrication was 48.3% and 48.4%, respectively. The reason is the ability to form a pure lubricant film in the contact area between the workpiece and the tool. In addition, the response surface method was used to demonstrate that the scratch depth and scratch angle are the key factors affecting the machining quality, and the optimal combination of scratch parameters was obtained. The dominant mode of material removal of the SiCf/SiC composites was a brittle fracture, and the damage characteristics mainly included natural fiber fracture, matrix breakage, fiber pullout, and fiber exposure. The increase of the processing ratio of 0° and implementation of vegetable oil for MQL was proven as one of the best methods.
