Ultrasonic Machining with a Diamond Impregnated Tool

Experimental investigations on core drilling by ultrasonic-vibration-assisted grinding for hard-to-machine materials - a review

“…In the literature, vibration amplitude is expressed by μm or power percentage. 2-16 μm (Prtrukha, 1970), 3-15 μm (Markov, 1977), 10-50 μm (Kubota et al, 1977), 23-33 μm , 2-5 μm (Ya et al, 2001), 10-23 µm (Dam et al, 1993), and 20-50% (Churi et al, 2005(Churi et al, , 2009 were reported.…”

“…The following ultrasonic vibration frequency values were reported in the literature: 24.5-43.5 kHz (Prtrukha, 1970), 42.5 kHz (Markov, 1977), 17.4-40 kHz (Kubota et al, 1977), 20 kHz Ya et al, 2001), 16-24 kHz (Legge, 1964), 16, 20, 40 kHz (Cusumano et al, 1974, and 19.5-20.5 kHz (Dam et al, 1993).…”

“…If it is too low, the grinding efficiency will be reduced (Web, http1://www.diamondbladeselect.com). In reported investigations on UVAG of brittle materials, the concentration used ranged from 50 to 200 (Cusumano et al, 1974;Markov, 1977;Kubota et al;1977;Prtrukha, 1970;Tyrrell, 1970).…”

“…For example, mesh 60-800 (Kubota et al, 1977), mesh 100-240 (Hards, 1966), mesh 280 (Anantha Ramu et al, 1989), mesh 80 (Ya et al, 2001), mesh 325, mesh 500, mesh 600, mesh 800 (Wang and Lin, 1993), mesh 40/50, mesh 40/170, mesh 60/80, mesh 80/100 (Churi et al, 2007d), mesh 270/325 , mesh 315/400 (Markov, 1977), 50-220 μm (Prabhakar, 1992), 50-250 μm (Prtrukha, 1970), and 181 μm (Dam et al, 1993).…”

“…Diamondtools with metal bonds are used in UVAG (Prabhakar, 1992;Markov, 1977;Kubota et al, 1977;Hards, 1966;Ya et al, 2001;Legge, 1964). Bronze-bonded, steel-bonded, brass-copper alloy and iron-nickel alloy were reported.…”
