AN EVALUATION OF THE ULTRASONIC MACHINING PROCESS.

Abstract

An evaluation of the ultrasonic machining process was made based on experience with a commercial unit and an intensive literature review. Ultrasonic machining is a practical solution to some machining tasks which are difficult because of workpiece characteristics or because of a requirement for a complex shape or profile in the finished part. However, because of the low machining rates obtainable and other disadvantages of the process, it is limited to machining operations for which no other satisfactory method can be found. (Author)
