1. Introduction
 The roots of ultrasonic technology can be traced
back to research on the piezoelectric effect
conducted by Pierre Curie around 1880.
 Also Known as Ultrasonic Impact Grinding
 The Ultrasonic waves are sound waves of
frequency higher than 20,000 Hz.
…
 Vibrating tool at ultrasonic frequency.
 Use of abrasive slurry.
 Conversely, mechanical vibrations are obtained by
applying electrical oscillations to the same
crystals
2. Ultrasonic machine parts
3. Working
4. Advantages
 It can be used machine hard, brittle, fragile and non
conductive material.
 No heat is generated in work, therefore no significant
changes in physical structure of work material
 It is burr less and distortion less processes
…
 Non-metal (because of the poor electrical conductivity)
that cannot be machined by EDM and ECM can very
well be machined by USM.
 It can be adopted in conjunction with other new
technologies like EDM,ECG,ECM.
 Disadvantages
Low Metal removal rate
Tool wear rate is high due to abrasive particles. Tools
made from brass, tungsten carbide, MS or tool steel will
wear from the action of abrasive grit with a ratio that
ranges from 1:1 to 200:1.
USM can be used only when the hardness of work is
more than 45 HRC.
 Applications
Used to machine fragile components in which otherwise
the scrap rate is high.
Used for multistep processing for fabricating silicon
nitride (Si3N4) turbine blades
Used for machining hard, brittle metallic alloys,
semiconductors, glass, ceramics, carbides etc.
…
 Ferrites and steel parts , precision mineral stones can
be machined using USM
 USM can be used to cut industrial diamonds
 USM is used for grinding Quartz, Glass, ceramics
 Cutting holes with curved or spiral centre lines and
cutting threads in glass and mineral or metal-ceramics
…
Used in machining of dies for wire drawing, punching and
blanking operations
USM has been used for piercing of dies and for parting off and
blanking operations.
USM enables a dentist to drill a hole of any shape on teeth
without any pain
USM can perform machining operations like drilling, grinding
and milling operations on all materials which can be treated
suitably with abrasives.
