| Summary: | In this paper, ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) was introduced for the machining of
Aluminium 6061-T6. In this technique, ultrasonic vibration which excess 20kHz is combine with
conventional turning process to achieve combined advantages of both techniques in machining
process. UAT control system is developed using function generator to generate required frequency
and output voltage direct connected to piezo actuator. While piezoelectric actuator PPA10M is the
main device used to convert electrical energy to vibration energy, where the vibration transmitted to
the cutting tip and perform in mechanical energy to remove unwanted material and produce precise
dimension of work material. The characteristic of this machining process in theoretically capable to
reduce tool wear, cutting force and based on current experimental analysis had shown significance
improvement on surface finishing and reduction in tool wear. In the present work, comparison data
had been done based on conventional and advanced machining process in the scope of wet and dry
machining on AL6061-T6. While, the results had shown significance improvement in UAT wet
machining, for the surface roughness quality and tool wear condition. |
