Abstract
The result of past work in the field of ultrasonic machining is reviewed and the effects of process parameters isolated. The review shows that, in the past, conclusions have been drawn for specific conditions and it is unwise to accept the results as those generally prevailing. It is also clear that whilst there is general agreement concerning some parameter effects, there is contradictory evidence regarding others.
