S., University of Mumbai, India, 2002 ____________________________________________________ AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering College of Engineering KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 1 ABSTRACT Titanium alloy is one of the most important materials used in major segments of industries such as aerospace, automobile, sporting goods, medical and chemical. Market survey has stated that the titanium shipment in the USA has increased significantly in last two decades, indicating its increased usage. Industries are always under tremendous pressure to meet the ever-increasing demand to lower cost and improve quality of the products manufactured from titanium alloy. Similar to titanium alloys, silicon carbide and dental ceramics are two important materials used in many applications. Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) is a non-traditional machining process that combines the material removal mechanisms of diamond grinding and ultrasonic machining. It comprises of a tool mounted on a rotary spindle attached to a piezo-electric transducer to produce the rotary and ultrasonic motion. No study has been reported on RUM of titanium alloy, silicon carbide and dental ceramics. The goal of this research was to provide new knowledge of machining these hard-to- machine materials with RUM for further improvements in the machining cost and surface quality. A thorough research has been conducted based on the feasibility study, effects of tool variables, effects of machining variables and wheel wear mechanisms while RUM of titanium alloy.
