Rotary ultrasonic machining of ceramics: Characterization and extensions

Advanced ceramics are attractive for many engineering applications due to their superior special properties. One of the reasons hindering their market expansion is the high cost of machining with current technology. There is a crucial need for the development of machining processes which are capable of achieving high material removal rate while maintaining the surface/subsurface damage to the machined parts at an acceptable level. Rotary Ultrasonic Machining (RUM), a hybrid machining process combining the material removal mechanisms of diamond grinding and ultrasonic machining, has the potential to do so.
