Abstract
Ultrasonic machining (USM) is a new method used in metal cutting. This process does not involve heating or any electrochemical effects, causes low surface damage, has small residual stress, and does not rely on the conductivity of the workpiece. These characteristics are suitable for the machining of brittle materials such as glass or ceramics. However, the use of USM for brittle materials generates cracks on the workpiece. Therefore, in this study, Taguchi's method was used to optimize the processing conditions of micro holes drilled in glass and ceramics. This method was used to successfully reduce the number of cracks at the entrance and the exit of the micro holes.
