Ultrasonic Vibration-Enhanced Nanolubricants Grinding Fiber-reinforced Composites: From Mechanisms to Machinability

Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are critical engineering materials in the aerospace, automotive, marine, and renewable energy industries due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, and fatigue performance. However, their structure presents challenges during grinding, often resulting in excessive cutting forces, elevated temperatures, rapid tool wear, poor surface integrity, and defects. To address these limitations, ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (UVAG) combined with nanolubricants emerges as an advanced hybrid machining technology capable of improving machining performance while reducing friction and heat generation. Recent advances in nanoparticle-enhanced lubrication systems and ultrasonic-assisted machining have further expanded the potential of this technology for sustainable and high-precision manufacturing. Understanding the material removal mechanisms and their influence on machinability may optimize process parameters, improve product quality, and enable the efficient machining of advanced FRC materials. Ultrasonic Vibration-Enhanced Nanolubricants Grinding Fiber-reinforced Composites: From Mechanisms to Machinability explores the integration of UVAG and nanolubricant technologies to improve the machining performance of FRCs. It examines the underlying material removal mechanisms, lubrication effects, and their impact on machinability indicators such as grinding forces, surface integrity, tool wear, temperature, and machining efficiency. This book covers topics such as nanoscience, surface quality, and materials science, and is a useful resource for engineers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
