Abstract

The purpose of present work is to study process capability of ultrasonic machining (USM). Relationships between tool wear rate (TWR) and other controllable machining parameters (like: power rating; tool type; slurry concentration; slurry type; slurry temperature and slurry size) have been deduced. The results of study suggest that optimum TWR result based upon Taguchi model for USM process is under statistical control.
