Abstract
This research is focused on the drilling of Nickel based super alloy with diamond metal core drill and identified the significant parameters of rotary ultrasonic machining that optimise the machining rate (MR) and surface quality. Four general parameters: workpiece material, workpiece thickness, tool material, and tool size; and four RUM parameters: tool rotational, feed rate, ultrasonic power rating, and abrasive grit size of the tool were tested against and surface quality of the cut. The results indicated that the maximum value of MR of 0.8931mm3/sec is acquired at higher level of tool rotation, feed rate, ultrasonic power and moderate level of abrasive grit size of diamond. The minimum surface roughness (Ra) 0.554 Āµm is observed at higher level of rotational rotation, Moderate value of feed rate, ultrasonic power and diamond abrasive grit size. In addition, for single-objective and multi-objective functions, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach is used to find the optimum values for process parameters. Furthermore, a scanning electron microscope is also utilized to check the machined surface after RUM. It is concluded that microcracks are observed on the machined surface.
