The present research paper is based on a comparative study of stationary tool micro-
ultrasonic machining (STMUSM) and rotary tool micro-ultrasonic machining (RTMUSM) …

Miniaturization of products has become a major technological challenge in production
industries. Material removal in microscopic and sub-microscopic level has become a …

The present paper reports on a recently developed rotary tool micro-ultrasonic drilling (RT-
MUSD) process. The RT-MUSD process was utilized for machining of micro-holes in …

Ultrasonic machining is a non-traditional, non-thermal material removal method; used to
fabricate channels and drill holes in brittle materials such as glasses and wafers by using …

Owing to its vast applications in machining and manufacturing of brittle materials, ultrasonic
machining has emerged as a promising nonconventional machining technique. A wide array …

During micro-ultrasonic machining of brittle materials, lateral vibration of the tool and errors
due to the placement of the workpiece leads to overcut and surface damage. Hence, this …

The rotary tool micro-ultrasonic machining (RT-MUSM) process is a newly developed variant
of conventional micro-USM. It is preferred over conventional micro-USM due to its ability to …

In the current scenario, silicon is extensively used as raw material in microelectromechanical
systems and microelectronic devices. But, it has low fracture toughness that renders it …

The tool wear affects the efficiency of micro-USM process and the quality of machined micro-
features. In this research endeavor, wear mechanism of soft/ductile and hard/brittle tool …
