Effect of Machining Parameters in Vibration-Assisted Micro Milling

Vibration assisted cutting (VAC) is a new metal machining technique in recent years, where high-frequency and low-amplitude vibrations are imposed to the cutting tool or the workpiece. It has many advantages than conventional cutting (CC), especially improvements in surface finish and tool life. Nowadays, the use of VAC is a good strategy for micro-machining due to long tool life and high product dimension accuracy.
This study presents an experimental investigation of the VAC in micro milling. The tool wear, surface roughness, and burr formation are investigated for different cutting parameters under conventional and vibration assisted cutting. When the vibration speed is higher than 3 times of the cutting speed, the tool life can be prolonged in this study. The experimental results show that VAC process has better surface finish (43.51% reduction in value) compared to that in CC, when the cutting conditions are feed of 4 £gm/rev and cutting speed of 3.39 m/min. It is also found that VAC can diminish the formation of burr formation. By introducing MQL to VAC, the tool life is extended because the MQL could reduce the friction between the tool and workpiece.
