EFFECT OF THERMOPLASTIC ULTRASONIC TREATMENT ON LEVEL OF TURNED SURFACE ROUGHNESS

摘要

Results are presented for experimental study of a new method for turning workpieces of thermoplastic polymers (caprolon and fluoroplastic), including workpiece advance treatment with ultrasonic vibration. The expediency of using this method is confirmed since advance ultrasonic treatment makes it possible to provide a reduction in the level of workpiece surface roughness, and this is indicated by roughness parameter values and forms of shaving obtained.
