Developmental and Experimental Study of Rotary Ultrasonic drilling process

Abstract

Abstract: The proper selection of machining conditions and machining parameter is an important aspect, before going to machine a brittle material by rotary ultrasonic drilling process Because these conditions will determine such important characteristics as; Material removal rate (MRR) and Surface roughness (SR). The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal values of machining parameters of rotary ultrasonic drilling process. The work has been based on the effect of three design factors: Tool feed rate, vibration frequency and grain size of abrasive particle on such characteristic like material removal rate (MRR). This work has been done by means of the technique of design of experiment (DOE), which provides us to perform the above-mentioned analysis with small number of experiments. In this work, a L9 orthogonal array is used to design the experiment. The adequate selection of machining parameters is very important in manufacturing system, because these parameters determine the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured part. The optimal setting of the parameters are determined through experiments planned, conducted and analyzed using the Taguchi method. Keywords: RUSM, Material removal rate, Drilling, Taguchi method
