| Summary: | Ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding (UVAG) of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites was carried out using a monolayer brazed diamond tool. Effects of the fiber orientation and vibration velocity on grinding forces and surface quality were analyzed. The maximum vibration velocity was varied by adjusting the grinding tool length. The results reveals that the grinding force is decreased with the increase of vibration velocity. The maximal grinding force is obtained with the fiber orientation at 135°, while the minimum grinding force is produced when the fiber orientation is 45°. Surface damages, such as groove scratch, fiber breakage are reduced with the increase of vibration velocity. Additionally, the fiber orientation plays a critical role in the surface morphology.
