ABSTRACT Honing process is widely used to improve the surface finish
of hardened gears. The existing challenging for this
manufacturing process includes its low efficiency and excessive
forces exerted on both of engaged gears and tools. Ultrasonic
assisted honing has a number of superior advantages over the
traditional methods. This paper presents a new theoretical
method for the parameter determination of non-resonant gear
transformer, which is the key component of ultrasonic assisted
honing systems. A mathematical model for the ultrasonic
assisted honing system is first established and solved with
different design parameters by using the numerical method. The
numerated results then are verified by the FEM analysis and
experiments. It is found that the proposed method is effective
and useful. The details will be addressed in the paper.
1 INTRODUCTION
Carburized and quenched gears have been widely employed
in automobiles, tractors and machine tools due to their high
bearing capacity, longer operational life, compact size, and low
volume to weight ratio[1,2]
. A number of manufacturing
processes including honing are used to fabricate gears. Honing
operation for gear fabrication is mainly used to improve the
surface finish of the gear teeth. However the existing gear
honing process is of excessive machining forces, low efficiency
and frequent jam of honing wheels[3]
. It is known that
ultrasound assisted machining has many superior advantages for
the hard and brittle materials[4]
. These advantages include: (1)
higher material removal rates due to the strong impacting
acceleration of abrasives that is thousands times higher than the
acceleration of gravity; (2) the explosion machining action
produced by ultrasonic cavitations effect on machining fluids;
(3) the better cleaning action on honing wheels created by
cavitation effect; (4) the lower machining force due to
lubrication effect of ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, the
ultrasound assisted gear honing has the potential to make up the
shortcomings of conventional gear honing.
In this research, a carburized and quenched gear is the
object to be machined. It is attached to the ultrasonic vibration
system. Conventional gears are simplified as a thin annular
plate because of its relatively large diameter compared to its
thickness. In an ultrasound-assisted honing process, since a gear
is to be machined, its size is not determined by the design
frequency of ultrasonic vibration system, but decided by the
application requirements of the gear. It is known that the
adjustable frequency of actual ultrasonic vibration system
consisting of a transducer and an ultrasonic generator etc. is
limited to a certain range, so it is difficult to assure that the
resonant frequency of arbitrary size gear matches the range of
ultrasonic vibration system. Therefore, the gear is considered to
be a non-resonant load, the transformer consisting of the gear

ultrasonic vibration system with arbitrary size gears.
