Abstract

Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) has got increasing importance in many fields of industry, especially in the aerospace. However, due to the special properties, the conventional machining methods are generally very challenging for CMC. The rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is a high efficiency processing technology for these advanced materials. This paper carried out research on the rotary ultrasonic facing milling of C/SiC and developed the cutting force simulation software to optimize the cutting parameters. Verification experiments were conducted showing that the efficiency improved by RUM is 5.8 times while the surface quality is improved by 54.4% compared with the conventional milling.
