Experiments of ultra-precision turning of SiCp/Al composites
/Al composites is investigated experimentally. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to examine the machined surfaces
chips
chip roots and tool wear lands
and a surface profiling instrument is taken to measure the surface profile roughnesses in different turning conditions. The results show that the machined surface remains a lot of defects such as pits
voids
microcracks
grooves
protuberances
matrix tearing
etc
. The tool geometries
cutting speeds
feed rates
particle reinforcement sizes and the volume fractions are the significant influence factors of surface roughness. Generally
a segmental chip is formed in turning composites due to the effect of dynamic microcrack behavior. The tool-workpiece relative vibration and the removal modes of SiC particles are the main mechanisms of surface generation. The microwear
chipping
peeling and the abrasive wear are the main wear patterns by using the Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) tool
while Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tool mainly suffers from the abrasive wear on the rake face and the adhesive wear on the flank face. The experimental result indicates that the SiC
p
/Al composites has a relatively bad machinability. However
when the cutting parameters are rationally chosen
a surface roughness
R
a
of 24.7 nm can be obtained for SiC
p
/2024Al(in a volume fraction of 15%).
