Ultrasonic machining
Ultrasonic machining is a precise manufacturing process that uses high-frequency sound waves to remove material from a workpiece. A tool vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies is immersed in an abrasive slurry, and the vibrations help break down the material of the workpiece through gentle, microscopic impacts. This method is ideal for shaping hard or delicate materials like ceramics and glass without causing cracks or damage. It offers high accuracy and can create intricate, detailed features, making it valuable in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and jewelry manufacturing.
