INFLUENCE OF VIBROSHOCK INTERACTION BETWEEN A CUTTING TOOL AND THE PROCESSED BILLET ON THE CONDITIONS OF FORMATION OF ITS ROUGHNESS IN MECHANICAL SAWING OF BRITTLE AND HARD MATERIALS
M. G. Kiselev and A. V. Drozdov UDC 621.9.048.4 A modernized unit of the ShP-2 sawing machine for vibroshock sawing of hard and brittle materials in three modes of vibrodrive operation has been described. The mechanism for forming the roughness of the sawn surface is presented. The data that allow judgment on the effect of the vibroshock mode of processing brittle materials on the parameters characterizing initial roughness of the sawn surface are obtained from results of the experiments. Based on these data, formation of the topography of the processed parts of billets made from a hard material is analyzed. Belorussian National Technical University, 65 F.
