 Abstract:

       The present situation of ultrasonic vibration-assisted machining of typical aviation difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloy, nickel-base superalloy and carbon fiber reinforced composites is summarized. Applying one-dimensional or two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration to the cutting tool can improve the machinability of aviation difficult-to-machine materials, which is manifested in reduction of cutting force, improvement of surface roughness and reduction of tool wear. It is found that two-dimensional ultrasonic vibration is more effective in cutting aviation difficult-to-machine materials. The experiment shows that in the future, the combination of ultrasonic vibration machining and other methods will be an effective means to further improve the machinability of aviation difficult-to-machine materials.
