Simulation and experimental study on cutting force during three-dimensional ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning of 304 stainless steel

Key Points

• Cutting force is significantly altered during ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning, which optimizes material removal.
• Experimentation revealed a decrease in cutting force by up to 20% under ultrasonic vibration conditions.
• Simulation analysis demonstrated precise modeling of cutting forces during the turning of 304 stainless steel.
• Understanding cutting force behaviors may enable improved machining processes and tool lifespan.
