Abstract: The efficiency of a new method of ultrasonic machining with a diamond-impregnated tool is studied experimentally to determine the effects of working conditions such as grain size, tool amplitude, speed of relative motion, and feed pressure on the feed speed. The experimental results make it possible to construct a small ultrasonic transducer head for vertical milling machines. A prerequisite for this technique is a relative motion of the tool and workpiece at a suitable speed. Relative linear tool wear is about 0. 01%. Stock removal in this process consists of impact crushing and scraping. 6
