Strategies for Improving Performance of Ultrasonic Micromachining Process

Advanced materials are not easy to machine due to technological and industrial development and which discover extensive applications in nuclear engineering, aviation industries, etc. The manufacture of complex shape with high-quality surface finish and superior accurateness can be easily obtained by nonconventional machining processes. This manuscript covers the significant issues about the performance improvement of ultrasonic micromachining process. This book chapter also focuses on accuracy of ultrasonic micromachining process with process development. The two types of ultrasonic micromachining processes, i.e., stationary USM and rotary USM, are also discussed. Novel development for accuracy on ultrasonic micromachining (USMM) process has been emphasized and discussed. Strategies for development of ultrasonic micromachining system for performance enhancement are discussed for both stationary and rotary ultrasonic micromachining in this chapter. Micro-type tools developments for ultrasonic micromachining process with various strategies have been presented. In this section, influences of process parameters of USMM on different responses have been studied.
