Question

Which one of the following statements is TRUE for the ultrasonic machining (USM) process?

• A. In USM, the tool vibrates at subsonic frequency
• B. USM does not employ magnetostrictive transducer
• C. USM is an excellent process for machining ductile materials
• D. USM often uses a slurry comprising abrasive-particles and water.

Answer 1

The correct option is D USM often uses a slurry comprising abrasive-particles and water.

Ultrasonic Machining uses an abrasive slurry which transfers the impact load provided by the vibrating tool to the work piece.
