The invention relates to an ultrasonic
torsional vibration auxiliary milling method and device for an aluminum-based
composite material. Ultrasonic frequency
torsional vibration in the axial direction of the
milling cutter is introduced in the conventional milling process, high-frequency micro-amplitude
torsional vibration is overlaid while the
milling cutter rotates at a high speed, and therefore periodic intermittent
cutting is achieved, and the plastic deformation degree of materials and the abrasion rate of the cutter are effectively reduced. An adopted device comprises an
ultrasonic vibration generator, an ultrasonic
transducer, an amplitude-change pole and a
milling cutter assembly. The ultrasonic
transducer and the amplitude-change pole are integrally designed, the amplitude-change pole is of a conical structure, spiral inclined grooves are evenly distributed in the periphery of the amplitude-change pole, the amplitude-change pole serves as an ultrasonic cutter
handle, one end of the amplitude-change pole is connected with a milling cutter, and stable excitation and efficient transmission of torsional vibration are achieved. According to the device, under the condition of optimized process parameters, the
cutting force can be remarkably reduced, the
chip forming mechanism is improved, breakage and pulling-out of a reinforced phase material are effectively restrained, and the integrity of the
machined surface and the overall process stability are improved.
