13. Transducer
convert the high
frequency
electrical energy
into Mechanical
Vibrations
Oscillator convert the
Low frequency electrical
energy into high
frequency electrical
energy
20 – 30 HZ
Vibrations are
transferred to
tool material
Abrasive Slurry
Passed
Between the
vibrating tool
and work piece
The
refrigeration
system used
to cool the
abrasive
slurry to 5 –
6 Degree
celcius
17. MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSDUCER
.
Change in length is independent of
the direction of the magnetic field
But depend only on the
magnitude of the field and
Nature of the material
19. MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSDUCER
LT battery used to
heat the filament
So electrons are
produced
Those electrons
are accelerated
by HT Battery
So AC current
Produced in the
circuit
20. So Rod start
to vibrate
due to
magnetostric
tive effect
This vibrations rod
create Ultrasonic
Waves , which sent out
MAGNETOSTRICTIVE TRANSDUCER
22. Resonance
Frequency of the
oscillatory circuit
Frequency of Vibrating
Rod
=
Resonance will occur when
At resonance , the rod vibrates vigorously and ultrasonic
waves are produced at high frequencies
27. Definition - Piezoelectric
• Piezoelectric transducers are a type of electro
acoustic transducer that convert the electrical
charges produced by some forms of solid
materials into energy.
• The word "piezoelectric" literally means
electricity caused by pressure.
30. Working LT battery used to
heat the filament
So electrons are
produced
Those electrons are
accelerated by HT Battery
So AC current
Produced in the
circuit
This AC current Passes
through L1 and L2 and
its transferred to
Secondary circuit
This AC current passed to the plates A and B and it make the
Crystal to vibrate due to the principle of inverse piezoelectric
effect. The vibrations of crystal creates Ultrasonic waves
32. Advantages – Piezoelectric transducer
Disadvantages – Piezoelectric transducer
1. Piezoelectric quartz is high cost
2. Cutting and shaping of crystal is very complex.
37. Abrasive material
It Depend on
1.The type of material to be machined
2. Requirement of Surface finish
For Machining - Tungsten Carbide
- Die Steel
Boron Carbide
Silicon Carbide
Abrasives
For Machining - Glass
- Ceramics
Aluminium oxide
