Abstract
The effect of workpiece and tool materials, a cutting fluid and ultrasonic surface plastic
deformation on tool wear and the quality of the part surface is studied. It is revealed that tool wear
adversely affects microgeometric and physical-mechanical characteristics of the surface layer. The
materials of high hardness (in particular, hardened steel) have the highest abrasive ability during
surface plastic deformation by an ultrasonic tool. The lowest wear of the tested tool steels and the
VC and TC hard alloy groups have the VK8 and VK4M hard alloys. The machining modes,
namely, the speed, the static load and the vibration amplitude affect tool wear significantly. The
dependence of hard alloy tool wear on the speed is extreme regardless of the static effort and
vibration amplitude. The speed corresponding to the minimal wear is basically determined by the
vibration amplitude and practically does not depend on the static load. An increase in the vibration
amplitude and the static load leads to wear intensification. Based on these studies, some
technological recommendations on the use of deformer materials for surface plastic deformation of
machine parts made from various materials by an ultrasonic tool are given.
