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.
