Abstract: The diamond wire saw has been widely used in cutting the hard and brittle materials, such as Si and SiC single crystals, because of its narrow kerf and great flexibility. The ultrasonic vibration has a unique benefit in cutting the ultra-hard and brittle materials. Based on the analysis of vibration model of axially moving string, the expressions of transverse vibration displacement field in which the wire saw is excited in different positions by ultrasonic wave are solved by applying the separation-of-variables method, and the expression of system natural frequency is obtained, too. The effect of wire saw system parameters on natural frequency is discussed. The critical speed of wire saw is analyzed. The relation among the midpoint amplitude of wire saw excited by ultrasonic wave when wire saw reciprocatedly cuts and the parameters of wire saw system is analyzed. It is proposed that the feed speed of workpiece is a decisive factor affecting cutting mode of wire saw excited by ultrasonic wave. Doppler laser vibrometer is used to measure the natural frequency of wire saw, the vibration response frequency of wire saw excited by ultrasonic wave, and the frequencies of wire saw in different positions when wire saw cuts SiC ingot with ultrasonic vibration. Comparative experiments of cutting SiC are carried out with and without ultrasonic vibration.The result shows that cutting forces is reduced by 23%~38% with ultrasonic vibration cutting, and the quality of the cut surface is improved obviously. The measurement and experimental results are consistent with the analysis results of model.
