Abstract: Ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding (UVAG) technology, by superposing high-frequency and micro-amplitude ultrasonic vibration on the conventional grinding operation, has significant advantages and broad application prospects in the high-efficiency and high-quality manufacturing area of aviation and aerospace, advanced machine tools, high-speed railway, energy and power technologies owing to the low grinding force and temperature, high materials removal rate and improved ground surface quality. At present, lots of research work on UVAG technology and equipment has been carried out, and the relevant results have been applied in the machining of various difficult-to-machine materials and key parts. Based on the overview of the basic operating principle, working advantages and main classifications of UVAG technology, this paper systematically reviews the achievements of UVAG equipment, material removal mechanism and surface topography generation mechanism in the past decades. Finally, the future development trend and important research issues of UVAG technology are provided.

Key words: ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding, ultrasonic equipment, material removal mechanism, surface topography generation mechanism
