The aerospace, defense and petrochemical industries in which hard-to-handle materials (titanium,
hastelloy, inconel etc.) have been used in recent years are in serious growth. Machining of these
materials in conventional processes is very difficult. Ultrasonic assisted machining is a suitable and
advanced manufacturing method for machining hard and brittle materials with periodic cutting
mechanism. In a typical ultrasonic assisted machining process, high-frequency electrical energy is
converted into mechanical vibrations by means of an amplifier or transducer. Ultrasonic assisted
machining provides the best cutting performance by applying vibration to cutting tool or workpiece in
a certain ultrasonic range (at a certain frequency and amplitude).
