Abstract

Silicon carbide particle-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (SiCp/Al) find diverse applications in engineering. Nevertheless, SiCp/Al exhibit limited machinability due to their special structure. A pulsed laser ultrasonic vibration assisted cutting (PLUVAC) method was proposed to enhance the machining characteristics of SiCp/Al and decrease surface defects. The finite element model was constructed, considering both the thermal effect of the pulsed laser and the location distribution of SiC particles. The model has been developed to analyze the damage forms of SiC particles and the formation mechanisms for the surface morphology. The influence of pulsed laser power on average cutting forces has also been analyzed. Research results indicate that PLUVAC accelerates the transition from the brittleness to the plastic of SiC particles, which helps to reduce surface scratching caused by fragmented SiC particles. Furthermore, the enhancement of surface quality is attributed to the decrease in surface cracks and the beneficial coating effect of the Al matrix. The accuracy of the simulation is verified by experiments, and the feasibility of PLUVAC method to enhance the surface quality of SiCp/Al is confirmed.

通过有限元模拟和实验研究对 SiCp/Al 复合材料进行脉冲激光超声振动辅助切割

碳化硅颗粒增强铝基复合材料（SiCp/Al）在工程领域有着广泛的应用。然而，由于其特殊的结构，SiCp/Al 的机加工性能有限。为了提高 SiCp/Al 的加工性能并减少表面缺陷，我们提出了脉冲激光超声振动辅助切削（PLUVAC）方法。考虑到脉冲激光的热效应和 SiC 颗粒的位置分布，建立了有限元模型。该模型用于分析 SiC 颗粒的损伤形式和表面形貌的形成机制。此外，还分析了脉冲激光功率对平均切割力的影响。研究结果表明，PLUVAC 加快了 SiC 颗粒从脆性到塑性的转变，有助于减少碎裂的 SiC 颗粒造成的表面划伤。此外，表面质量的提高还归因于表面裂纹的减少和铝基体的有利涂层效应。实验验证了模拟的准确性，并证实了 PLUVAC 方法在提高 SiCp/Al 表面质量方面的可行性。
