Modeling of Material Removal Rate in Ultrasonic Machining of Titanium : Buckingham-П Approach

In the present study, the outcome of Taguchi-based model has been used for developing a mathematical model using Buckingham’s theorem for ultrasonic machining of titanium and its alloys. Six input parameters, namely, tool material, power rating, slurry type, slurry temperature, slurry concentration and slurry grit size were selected to give the output in the form of material removal rate. The proposed study sheds light on the application of Buckingham approach to model the main effects of these variables on material removal rate in ultrasonic machining of titanium and its alloys. The comparison with experimental results will also serve as further validation of the model
