Abstract:As a new high-temperature material,Cf/SiC ceramic matrix composites has a wide applications range in aerospace field, but its difficult processing characteristics brings new challenges. A laser-assisted high-speed micro-turning machine was used to perform external cutting on the Cf/SiC ceramic matrix composite material, with the main cutting force Fz as the target, the cutting parameters of Cf/SiC ceramic matrix composites were optimized.Single factor test and multi-factor orthogonal test were used to study the influence of workpiece speed n, cutting depth ap, feed speed vf and power density q on the cutting force in the three directions of x, y and z.Through variance analysis method, the primary and secondary order of the influence of each processing parameter on Fz and the optimal parameter combination were pointed out. The results show that: compared with conventional high-speed micro-turning, using laser-assisted high-speed micro-turning technology can improve the cutting force in all directions, and the maximum cutting force is reduced by 81.436%; the influence of each test factor on Fz from large to small is q>n>ap>vf; the optimal combination of processing parameters is:q=400 W/mm2,n=4 000 r/min, ap=20 μm, and vf=20 mm/min, the best Fz is 1.831 N.
