The mechanism and major influence factors for the formation of micro-texture by this method were explored in this study. It was found that the generation of micro-texture was mainly caused by cutting and extrusion from the flank face of the milling tool under ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, a novel 3D tool model that considered the relief angle, end cutting edge angle and the blade profile was established in simulation analysis. The good agreement between simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the influence of the flank face on the micro-texture was mainly attributed to the relief angle of the milling tool. It was the first time to report that both the height and the profile shape of the micro-texture unit were affected by the overlap and extrusion between the flank surface and the micro-texture. But this influence diminished with the increase of spindle speed. 3D sinusoid-shaped micro-texture with minimum width of 20 μm and height of 2 μm (fully reproduced the ultrasonic amplitude) was realized with the relief angle of 40 o and spindle speed of 4000 rpm. Other typical textures of weave, shell, scale and corrugation were also presented to show the effective regulation of texture patterns in AUVAM. This work provides both theoretical and practical basis for such a low-cost, efficient and controllable 3D micro-texture preparation method.
