Ultrasonic Machining with a Diamond Impregnated Tool

The new ultrasonic machining is studied experimentally and its characteristics are found out. Experiments are performed in three ways: 1. Glass plate drilling by an ultrasonic machine tool with a turn table. 2. Glass rod turning by a lathe with an ultrasonic vibrating tool on the carriage. 3. Glass plate drilling by an ultrasonic vibrating rotor tool. Influences of working conditions such as grain size, tool amplitude, relative motion speed, and working pressure on the removal rates are obtained. The result of the experiment enables' to make a new ultra-sonic machining rotor tool for an NC milling machine. In conclusion : 1. Relative motion of the tool and the work with a suitable speed is necessary for this process. 2. Stock removal rate depends on the working conditions and in case of glass plate drilling it reaches to 50 mm/min. 3. Tool wear is only 0.01% in length.
