Increasing the efficiency of the cutting and processing of gears

The paper presents data on the influence of ultrasonic vibrations on the processes of cutting gears made of difficult-to-cut materials. It is shown that with the introduction of ultrasound into the processing zone, there is a significant decrease in the component of the cutting force Pz, chip shrinkage and the height of the micro-roughness. The wear of the cutting teeth with the imposition of ultrasonic vibrations becomes more stable, and the efficiency of the tooth-working tool increases.
