ULTRASONIC MACHINING

ULTRASONIC MACHINING (USM) is a process that utilizes the ultrasonic (≥20 kHz) vibration of a tool in the machining of hard, brittle, non metallic materials.

• Ultrasonic impact grinding (known as Ultrasonic machining): Involves an

abrasive slurry and the ultrasonic vibration of a non-rotating tool

Slide7

Ultrasonic Machining (USM)

Abrasives contained in a slurry are driven at high velocity against work by a tool vibrating at low amplitude and high frequency

Tool oscillation is perpendicular to work surface

Tool is fed slowly into work

Shape of tool is formed in part

Slide12

Ultrasonic machining

The tool, which is a negative of the workpiece, is vibrated at around 20KHz with and amplitude of between 0.01 mm and 0.05 mm in abrasive slurry at the workpiece surface.

Material removal is by 2 mechanisms:

Hammering of grit against the surface by the tool.

Impact of free abrasive grit particles (erosion).

.

Slide13

Ultrasonic machining (USM)

In USM, high frequency electrical energy is converted in to mechanical vibrations via a transducer which are then transmitted through an energy focusing device, i.e. horn/tool assembly

This causes the tool to vibrate along its longitudinal axis at high frequency (usually ≥ 20 kHz) with an amplitude of 5–50

μ

m

Slide14

Ultrasonic machining

The tool (steel and stainless steel) oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the work surface, and is fed slowly into the work, so that the shape of the tool is formed in the part.

the action of the abrasives (boron nitride, boron carbide, aluminium oxide, silicon carbide and diamond) impinging against the work surface, that performs the cutting

Grit size ranges between 100 and 2000 µm.

The slurry in USM consists of a mixture of water/oil and abrasive particles. Concentration of abrasives in water ranges from

20% to 60%

Slide17

Ultrasonic machining (USM)

A controlled static load is applied to the tool and an abrasive slurry

(comprising a mixture of abrasive material; e.g. silicon carbide, boron carbide, etc. suspended

in water or oil) is pumped around the cutting zone.

The vibration of the tool causes the abrasive particles held in the slurry between the tool and the workpiece, to impact the workpiece surface causing material removal by microchipping

17

Slide18

USM- The machining system

The machining system is composed mainly the convertor (

magnetostrictor

, or piezoelectric) concentrator, tool, and slurry feeding arrangement.

The

magnetostrictor

is energized at the ultrasonic frequency and produces small-amplitude vibrations. Such a small vibration is amplified using the horn (mechanical amplifier) that holds the tool.

The abrasive slurry is pumped between the oscillating tool and the brittle

workpiece

.

A static pressure is applied in the tool-

workpiece

interface that maintains the abrasive slurry.

Slide19

Basic elements of USM head

Fig. shows the basic elements of an USM set up using either a

magnetostrictive

or piezoelectric transducer with brazed and screwed tooling.

The oscillation amplitude at the face of the transducer is too small (0.001–0.1

μ

m) to achieve any reasonable cutting rate, therefore, the horn is used as an amplification device

Magnetostictive transducer

Magnetostictive

transducer

The

magnetostrictor

used in USM, shown in has a high-frequency winding wound on a

magnetostrictor

core and a special polarizing winding around an armature

Magnetostictive

transducers work on the principle that if a piece of Ferro-magnetic material (like nickel alloys) is magnetized, then a change in dimension occurs.

is the incremental length of the

Slide26

Piezoelectric Transducer-USM

The main drawbacks of the

magnetostrictive

transducer are the high losses encountered, the low efficiency (55 percent), the consequent heat up, and the need for cooling. Higher efficiencies (90–95npercent) are possible by using piezoelectric transformers to modern USM machines.

Piezoelectric transducers utilize crystals like quartz whose dimensions alter when being subjected to electrostatic fields.

The charge is directionally proportional to the applied voltage.

Lead

zirconate

titanate

piezoelectric disks are used which convert the electrical energy from the power supply into a mechanical vibration.

To obtain high amplitude vibrations the length of the crystal must be matched to the frequency of the generator which produces resonant conditions

.

Slide27

Material removal mechanism of USM

1. Mechanical abrasion by localized direct hammering of the abrasive grains stuck between the vibrating tool and adjacent work surface.

2. The micro-chipping by free impacts of particles that fly across the machining gap and strike the work-piece at random locations.

Process capabilities of USM

Tolerances that can be achieved by this process range between 5 µm and 10 µm

Holes as small as 75 µm have been drilled.

Linear material removal rate, MRR, (also known as penetration rate) achieved during USM ranges from 0.025 to 25.0 mm/min, and it depends upon various parameters.

Surface finish achieved during the process varies from 0.25 µm to 0.75 µm.

Ultrasonic machining

The cutting action in USM operates on the tool as well as the work. As the abrasive particles erode the work surface, they also erode the tool, thus affecting its shape.

to machine hard, brittle work materials, such as ceramics, glass, and carbides

.

Shapes obtained by USM include non-round holes, holes along a curved axis, and coining operations, in which an image pattern on the tool is imparted to a flat work surface.

Slide51

Ultrasonic machining (USM)

Ultrasonic machining (USM) is a non-conventional mechanical material removal process generally associated with low material removal rates, however its application is not limited by the electrical or chemical characteristics of the workpiece materials.

It is used for machining both conductive and non-metallic materials; preferably those with low

ductility and a hardness above 40 HRC , e.g. inorganic glasses, silicon nitride,

nickel/titanium alloys, etc

USM does not generate significant heating which might otherwise lead to the development of a thermally damaged layer/zone or residual stress.

51

Slide52

Ultrasonic machining-applications

UM effectively machines precise features in hard, brittle materials such as glass, engineered ceramics,

SiC

, quartz, single crystal materials, PCD, ferrite, graphite, glassy carbon, composites and

piezoceramics

.

A nearly limitless number of feature shapes-including round, square and odd-shaped thru-holes and cavities of varying depths, as well as OD-ID features-can be machined with high quality and consistency

52

Slide53

Ultrasonic machining-advantages

Parts are burr-free with no residual stresses, distortion or thermal effects.

There are no changes to the metallurgical, chemical or physical properties of the

workpiece

.

Good for machining very brittle materials.

USM) is a non-thermal, non-chemical and non-electrical machining process that leaves the chemical composition, material microstructure and physical properties of the

workpiece

unchanged

UM is a mechanical material removal process that can be used for machining both conductive and non-metallic materials with

hardnesses

of greater than 40 HRC (Rockwell Hardness measured in the C scale).

The UM process can be used to machine precision micro-features, round and odd-shaped holes, blind cavities, and OD/ID features.

Multiple features can be drilled simultaneously, often reducing the total machining time significantly

The process offers good surface finish and structural integrity

The process is free from burrs and distortions.

Slide54

Ultrasonic machining-disadvantages

USM has low material removal rate.

Tool wears fast in USM.

Machining area and depth is restraint in USM.

The USM process consumes higher power and has lower material-removal rates compared to traditional fabrication processes

Soft materials like lead and plastics are not suitable for machining by the USM process, since they tend to absorb the abrasive particles rather than to chip under their impact

While producing deeper holes through USM method, there is ineffective slurry circulation leading to presence of a fewer active grains under the tool face. Due to this, the bottom surfaces of blind holes tend to become slightly concave.

Slide55

The economics-Limitations

Suitable for low production rates only.

Special tooling required for each job. High tooling costs.

Multiple cuts required for progressively better finish.

Tool wear is a problem requiring frequent changes.

Slide56

Rotary Ultrasonic Machining

Slide57

Rotary Ultrasonic Machining

Rotary ultrasonic machining is similar to the conventional drilling of glass and ceramic with diamond core drills, except that the rotating core drill is vibrated at an ultrasonic frequency of 20 kHz.

Rotary ultrasonic machining does not involve the flow of an abrasive slurry through a gap between the

workpiece

and the tool.

Instead, the tool contacts and cuts the

workpiece

, and a liquid coolant, usually water, is forced through the bore of the tube to cool and flush away the removed material.

57

Slide58

Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM)

Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is a hybrid machining process that combines the material removal mechanisms of diamond grinding with ultrasonic machining (USM), resulting in higher material removal rates (MRR) than those obtained by either diamond grinding or USM alone

In rotary ultrasonic machining, a rotating core drill with metal-bonded diamond abrasives is ultrasonically vibrated in the axial direction while the spindle is fed toward the work piece at a constant pressure.

By using abrasives bonded directly on the tools and combining simultaneous rotation and vibration, RUM provides a fast, high-quality machining method for a variety of glass and ceramic applications.

58

Slide59

Illustration of rotary ultrasonic machining

Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is a hybrid machining process that combines the material removal mechanisms of diamond grinding and of ultrasonic machining.

The drilling tool is a core drill made of metal-bonded diamond abrasives.

The rotating tool is ultrasonically vibrated and fed toward the work piece.

Meanwhile, coolant is pumped through the hole in the middle of the drill to flush away the debris.

Important process variables are tool rotation speed, tool feed rate or pressure, vibration amplitude, abrasive grain size, and abrasive concentration.

59

Slide60

RUSM

The amplitude of vibration in rotary ultrasonic machining is usually about 0.025 to 0.05 mm and the longitudinal extension and contraction of the drill tip improves drilling performance by:

• Reducing the friction between the tool and the material at the point of cutting

• Eliminating seizure of the core piece by allowing greater coolant flow in the bore of the tool

• Preventing the diamond tool from loading with removed material

• Increasing drilling speed with less pressure on the tool and reduced tool wear

60

Slide61

RUM vs. USM

One of the major differences between USM and RUM equipment is that USM uses a soft tool, such as stainless steel, brass or mild steel, and a slurry loaded with hard abrasive particles, while in RUM the hard abrasive particles are diamond and are bonded on the tools.

Another major difference is that the RUM tool rotates and vibrates simultaneously, while the USM tool only vibrates.

These differences enable RUM to provide both speed and accuracy advantages in ceramic and glass machining operations.
