Chapter Three

Machining processes utilizing mechanical energy

Abstract

Detail discussion on various advanced machining processes utilizing mechanical energy namely, Ultrasonic machining (USM), Abrasive jet machining (AJM), Water jet machining (WJM), and Ion beam machining (IBM) have been included. The fundamentals, material removal mechanism and related modeling, setup details, effects of process parameters on different outcomes, advantages and limitations of these processes have been presented in this chapter. The stationary ultrasonic machining (USM) as well as rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) processes are applied for machining of hard and brittle materials like glass and ceramics with high accuracy those are highlighted. Rotary ultrasonic ...
