The benefits to industry of this discovery were quickly recognized, and in the early 1950s the production of ultrasonic machine tools began. Although holes, slots and irregular shapes can be ultrasonically machined in any materials, Kaczmarek(1976) suggests that the process should be applied mainly to brittle and hard materials involving surface areas of less than 1000mm, where shallow cavities and cuts have been produced. In another case, over 2000 holes 0.75mm square in 1mm thick carbon were drilled in less than ten minutes. A wide range of other applications has been discussed by various workers. these include the threading of ceramics, lapping, broaching and deburring. The latter author also discusses the use of USM in materials such as rock, bones and teeth. Kaczmarek (1976) describes USM for parting and cutting of semiconductor materials, such as germanium and quartz, commenting that the processes yields high accuracy and machining rates in comparison with established methods with much smaller numbers of rejected components. The use of USM for the manufacture has been claimed to reduce machining time from 20 hr to 30 min by copy-milling. Other results show that hole sizes as small as 80μm can be produced. USM twist drilling is restricted to circular holes, unlike conventional USM. Machines based on the former process are also more expensive and complicated. On the other hand, greater hole depths and two-to six-fold increase in cutting speed are attractive features of USM twist-drilling. The ability of the new technique to deal with intractable materials such as aluminum and titanium, as well as conventional ones, is also of value, since neither established USM nor conventional twist drilling can readily deal with either of these materials. * * Unit 11 Laser Machining Text Reading Material Text Laser machining is based on principles that were only recently discovered. The word ‘laser’ is an acronym of light amplification by simulated emiss
