Research on Performance Parameters of the Piezoelectric Vibrator in Ultrasonic EDM System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultrasonic EDM which is a novel machining approach for hard materials is developed quickly. In ultrasonic EDM processing the piezoelectric vibrator has a very important influence on the quality of the machining. The purpose of the paper is to study the performance parameters such as the first longitudinal modal frequency, node plane and vibration amplitude of the vibrator . Through FEM (finite element method ) simulation method the relation between structure parameters and the performance parameters are obtained. The results of the paper are very effective to design a vibrator for ultrasonic EDM.
