Ultrasonic Machine: Defination,working principle,parts,types,application,advantage,disadvantage,limitation
Introduction:-
It is a subtractive manufacturing process that removes material from the surface of a part through high frequency,low amplitude vibration of a tool against the material surface in the presence of fine abrasive particles.
Parts of Ultrasonic Machine:-
- Power Supply
- Electro-mechanical transducer
- Velocity Transformer
- Tool
- Abrasive Slurry
- Abrasive gun
- Workpiece
Types of ultrasonic machining:-
• Roatary Ultrasonic Vibration Machine
•Chemical assisted Ultrasonic machine
Application of Ultrasonic Machine:-
- This process is used for drilling both circular and non-circular holes in very hard materials like carbide, ceramics, etc.
- This process is best suited for brittle materials.
- The machining operation is simple and requires less time.
- This process is economical.
- Glass, Ceramic, tungsten land semi-precious stones can be machined.
- A semi-skilled operator can operate the machine.
- Better efficiency can be achieved.
- Good surface finish.
- It is suitable for both conducting and non-conducting materials.
- High accuracy can be achieved.
Advantage of Ultrasonic Machine:-
•This process is used for drilling both circular and non-circular holes in very hard materials like carbide, ceramics, etc.
•This process is best suited for brittle materials.
•The machining operation is simple and requires less time.

Disadvantage of Ultrasonic Machine:-
- Low material cutting rate.
- High power consumption.
- Low penetration rate.
- The process is limited to the machined surface of a small size.
- Shorter tool life.
- Ultrasonic vibration machining can only be used on materials with a hardness value of at least 45 HRC.
