Ultrasonic Machining Techniques and Applications

This seminar report summarizes ultrasonic machining. Ultrasonic machining involves vibrating a tool at high frequency against a workpiece with an abrasive slurry in between, allowing material to be removed through erosion. Key points covered include that the tool vibrates at low amplitude but high frequency to impart high velocity to abrasive grains, which are usually boron carbides, allowing this technique to cut hard and brittle materials. Applications include cutting slots, holes, and irregular shapes. Limitations include lower material removal rates compared to conventional machining and difficulties achieving sharp corners or flat bottoms in cavities.

ULTRASONIC MACHINING (UM)

• In UM the tip of the tool vibrates at low amplitude and at high frequency. This
vibration transmits a high velocity to fine abrasive grains between tool and
the surface of the work piece.

• material removed by erosion with abrasive particles.

• The abrasive grains are usually boron carbides.

• This technique is used to cut hard and brittle materials like ceramics,
carbides, glass, precious stones and hardened steel.

• Ultrasonic Machining - Cutting action is accomplished with an abrasive slurry


which is driven by a tool vibrating at high frequency. The tool is the exact
shape of the desired shape to be cut into the work.

• Applications

• slots, blind holes, irregular shapes, and through holes.

• Ultrasonic Machining

• Main uses of USM:

• - Welding plastics (package sealing)

• - Wire-bonding (IC chips)

• - Machining brittle materials

Application

• * State any useful application of USM.

• USM can be used far drilling,grinding,milling on all conducative and non


conductive matrial.

• Mainly used to machined glass,cyramics,minerals stones,centered carbide


and tungeston.

• Can be used pearsing of dyes and far parting off,and far blanking operation.

8
• Can be used to machined semi conductors and ferrites

• USM also used in medical technology.

Limitations

• MRR is law compare to conventional machining.

• The depth of the hole is max. possible as 2.5 times of the dia. Of hole (L\D
ratio).

• Sharp corners are difficult to obtained.

• The bottom of the cavity is not flate.

• Accuracy may be lost, if the tool under goes luteral vibrations.

• Power consumption is high.

• Depth of cut are relatively shallow(25 to 40 mm)
