Vibration treatment intensification through ultrasonic activation of process particles

The analysis of the existing methods of the combined vibratory finishing treatment allows identifying the factors restraining their effective application. To improve the productivity, a fundamentally new process flowsheet of the composite energy action of the operating environment on the working surface is offered. It provides an injection of the additional ultrasonic energy to the process chamber. The design of the chamber for the vibration abrasive ultrasonic treatment is considered. It is developed on the basis of the ultrasonic magnetostrictor of a cylindrical form which is located in the low activity zone of the vibrating machine working chamber. The integral experimental research of the vibratory ultrasonic treatment effect on the surface quality and the processing rate presenting the advantages of the vibration abrasive ultrasonic treatment versus the traditional vibroabrasive finishing treatment is resulted.
