Tool wear mechanism and experimental study in longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic vibration-assisted milling of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V

  • 摘要: 文章针对钛合金(Ti-6Al-4V)超声辅助铣削中刀具磨损问题,系统分析纵扭超声振动系统运动特性解析刀具切削刃轨迹,利用Matlab软件基于纵扭超声运动方程结合实测超声振幅模拟刀具铣削运动轨迹,分析轨迹特征探究超声振幅对刀具磨损的影响机制。通过纵扭超声铣削实验,结合磨损形貌分析,超声振动显著调控磨损行为但存在振幅临界阈值。超声振幅扭振幅值达到2.252 μm、纵振幅值达到1.803 μm时抑制刀具磨损效果最好,后刀面磨损量(VB值)为37.829 μm,相比常规铣削降低41.340%。对刀具、刀尖和刀刃区域进行磨损特征分析,超声纵扭振动可以有效减少切屑黏刀现象,超声振幅过高导致运动耦合不稳定诱发刀尖应力集中,导致崩刃和涂层剥落,磨损量反增。通过合理选择超声振幅可以有效抑制刀具磨损,适当的超声振幅下超声振动能够减少切削热积累并抑制黏着磨损,可延长刀具寿命和提升加工效率。为超声辅助铣削在钛合金Ti-6Al-4V领域的应用提供关键参数依据,对降低难加工材料制造成本具有重要工程价值。

     

    Abstract: This study addresses the issue of tool wear in ultrasonic-assisted milling of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). It systematically analyzes the motion characteristics of a longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic vibration system to understand the trajectory of the tool cutting edge. Using Matlab software, the tool milling trajectory was simulated based on the longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic motion equations combined with measured ultrasonic amplitudes. The trajectory characteristics were analyzed to investigate the influence mechanism of ultrasonic amplitude on tool wear.Through longitudinal-torsional composite ultrasonic milling experiments and wear morphology analysis, it was found that ultrasonic vibration significantly regulates wear behavior but exhibits a critical amplitude threshold. The optimal suppression of tool wear occurred when the torsional amplitude reached 2.252 μm and the longitudinal amplitude reached 1.803 μm, resulting in a flank wear (VB value) of 37.829 μm—a 41.340% reduction compared to conventional milling.Analysis of wear characteristics at the tool tip and cutting edge revealed that longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic vibration effectively reduces chip adhesion. However, excessively high ultrasonic amplitudes cause unstable motion coupling, inducing stress concentration at the tool tip and leading to chipping and coating delamination, which conversely increases wear. By rationally selecting ultrasonic amplitudes, tool wear can be effectively suppressed. Under appropriate amplitudes, ultrasonic vibration reduces heat accumulation during cutting and inhibits adhesive wear, thereby extending tool life and improving machining efficiency. This study provides key parameter guidelines for the application of ultrasonic-assisted milling in Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy processing, offering significant engineering value for reducing manufacturing costs of difficult-to-machine materials.
