This paper reviews the fundamental principles of ultrasonic machining; the modes and mechanisms of material removal and the effect of operating parameters on the performance indices-material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness. The issues of production accuracy and precision in drilling deep holes have also been explored. A brief review on process application to the machining of titanium-considered as a tough material has also been presented. It has been concluded from the experimental study that ultrasonic machining could be applied effectively for machining titanium. When applied to titanium, ultrasonic machining results in low material removal rate (MRR), high tool wear rate (TWR) and low surface roughness.

Abstract


This paper reviews the fundamental principles of ultrasonic machining; the modes and mechanisms of material removal and the effect of operating parameters on the performance indices-material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness. The issues of production accuracy and precision in drilling deep holes have also been explored. A brief review on process application to the machining of titanium-considered as a tough material has also been presented. It has been concluded from the experimental study that ultrasonic machining could be applied effectively for machining titanium. When applied to titanium, ultrasonic machining results in low material removal rate (MRR), high tool wear rate (TWR) and low surface roughness.
