Suppression of burrs in turning with ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting

The approximate cutting force models in three-dimensional separating type ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting are proposed in present paper. The theoretical models of the stresses of deformation zone on the workpiece edge in burr formation in ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting are derived based on three-dimensional cutting model, and the reason for the burr being suppressed by applying ultrasonic elliptical vibration is clarified theoretically. Finally, the effect of ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting on the burr is verified experimentally.
