    Ultrasonic machining involves vibrating an abrasive slurry between a tool and workpiece without direct contact to machine extremely hard materials like ceramics. Very little heat is produced during this process as the tool bends slightly with each grain impact, removing small pieces of the brittle workpiece material through plastic deformation and erosion. Key factors that determine the machine time include the vibration frequency, grain size and hardness relative to the workpiece, and viscosity of the slurry fluid used to carry away debris.

    Ultrasonic machining

    Schematic of the ultrasonic machining operation

    Ultrasonic machining, also known as ultrasonic impact grinding,[1] is a machining operation in which an abrasive slurry freely flows between the workpiece and a vibrating tool.[2] It differs from most other machining operations because very little heat is produced.[2] The tool never contacts the workpiece and as a result the grinding pressure is rarely more than 2 pounds,[1] which makes this operation perfect for machining extremely hard and brittle materials, such as glass, sapphire,ruby, diamond, and ceramics.[3] Surface finish The surface finish of ultrasonic machining depends upon the hardness of the workpiece/tool and the average diameter of the abrasive grain used. Up close, this process simply utilizes the plastic deformation of metal for the tool and the brittleness of the workpiece. As the tool vibrates, it pushes down on the abrasive slurry (containing many grains) till the grains impact the brittle workpiece. The workpiece is broken down while the tool bends very slightly. Commonly used tool material consist of nickel and soft steels. Machine time

    Machine time depends upon the frequency at which the tool is vibrating, the grain size and hardness (which must be equal or greater than the hardness of the workpiece), and the viscosity of the slurry fluid. Common grain materials used are silicon carbide and boron carbide, because of their hardness. The less viscous the slurry fluid, the faster it can carry away used abrasive. Mechanics of ultrasonic machining The physic of ultrasonic machining is neither complete nor uncontroversial. The reason of material removal during USM are belived to be. 1.The hammering of the abrasive particles on the work surface by the tool 2.The impact of the free abrasive particles on the work surface. 3.The erosion due to cavitation,and 4.The chemical action associated with the fluid used.
