ABSTRACT
Traditional cutting process reduce cutting force by increasing cutting speed and the sharpness of tip, and elliptical vibration cutting is a new cutting method, not only to overcome the shortcomings of traditional cutting process, but also can enhance the shape accuracy and system stability of the work piece, slow the wear of the tools. This article provide theoretical guidance for the actual processing by explaining the formation mechanism of surface morphology of elliptical vibration cutting, analysing cutting parameters which have significant impact on the morphology of elliptical vibration and optimizing the cutting parameters which highly effect the surface scallop height in elliptical vibration cutting1.
INTRODUCTION
3D elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) relative to the one-dimensional vibratory cutting and two-dimensional EVC, not only have the advantage of inhibiting sharply wear of the tool and inhibiting the broken of tool in order to get the excellent processing quality, but also can get higher machining efficiency by improve the minimum thickness of transformation of hard and brittle materials to plastic materials in cutting process [1], which makes the application scope of 3D EVC cutting in precision machining and ultra-precision cutting getting gradually broadened [2-4].

In ultra-precision machining, selecting the optimum cutting parameters plays a very important role to ensure product quality, increase productivity, reduce cost of production[5]. Therefore, many scholars consider the constraints in production, single process cutting, Franci [6] et al. proposed different cutting parameter optimization model and solution methods. In addition, many scholars adopt different optimization algorithms to optimize the cutting parameters in turning process, such as genetic algorithms and simulated annealing algorithms, Ant Colony algorithms, neural network algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm in the optimization of cutting parameters in the process are being applying.
THE ANALYSIS ON INFLUENCE OF 3D EVC PROCESS PARAMETERS ON SURFACE TOPOGRAPHY
3D EVC is based on elliptical vibration cutting, to achieve elliptical vibration cutting in space by using auxiliary in cutting device. The moving trajectory of the tool relative to the workpiece was shown in Figure 1 (elliptical vibration cutting). Because of the vibration inydirection during the cutting process, so that to make chatter markRth to exist on the machined surface in the direction of cutting.
Meanwhile, there still are lines in the feed direction, the lines of two directions woven into forming a unique surface morphology of elliptical vibration cutting.
From considerations of geometric, in which the solid line shows microcosmic surface morphology forming by the elliptical vibration cutting, dotted line represents microcosmic surface morphology forming by general cutting. Assumed the height difference of the lowest point B and the highest point D that form by cutting into the
micro-surface is HEVC, then

The above shows thatRth in cutting direction have relevant with elliptical
vibration amplitude, frequency and speed of the workpiece.
