Abstract
Abstract
Ultrasonic drilling enables drilling in difficult-to-machine materials, including ceramics and composites, with greater accuracy and precision. The localized and controlled energy application of ultrasonic frequency minimizes the risk of material fracture, cracks, or delamination. This capability ensures that the drilled hole maintains its intended dimensions, shape, and integrity, resulting in improved hole accuracy and overall drilled hole condition. Ultrasonic drilling is an advanced machining technique that utilizes high-frequency vibrations to improve the drilling process. In this designed voice-activated module, electrical energy has been converted into mechanical vibrations through piezoelectric transducers, generating ultrasonic waves in the range of 20 kHz to 80 kHz. Experiments has been conducted considering different process parameters with the changing different orientations of the emitters-horizontal and vertical positions and comparison was done with no vibration conditions. It has been observed that with the application ultrasonic vibration frequency the surface roughness improved by 45% in horizontal position, 28% in vertical position compared with no vibration conditions-conventional techniques. It has also been observed that the circularity index of the drilled holes also improved by 31% for horizontal and 7.6% for vertical position.
