This document provides an overview of ultrasonic machining including its history, key parts, working principle, advantages, disadvantages, and applications. Ultrasonic machining uses ultrasonic vibrations and an abrasive slurry to machine hard, brittle materials without causing damage from heat. It has advantages like being able to machine non-conductive materials and producing burr-free parts. However, it has low material removal rates and requires tooling that wears from the abrasive particles. Ultrasonic machining is used for applications like machining ceramics, cutting industrial diamonds, and drilling dental cavities without pain.
