Dr. Rajesha S, Principal of Sahyadri along with Professors of IIT Roorkee - Dr. Apurbba Kumar Sharma,Professor, Dept. of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering and Dr. Pradeep Kumar,Professor, Dept. of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering, have been granted a Patent for their invention titled – "An Improved Ultrasonic Abrasive Flow Machining And A Device Therefor"
This invention relates to a development of new hybrid process called "Ultrasonic Assisted Abrasive Flow Machining (UAAFM)" process. A high frequency low amplitude (usually, within 5-20 kHz frequency and ±10 µm amplitude) linear oscillation is applied to the work piece orthogonal to the axial velocity of the working media. The effect enhances cutting conditions at the abrasive-work surface interface that results in enhanced performance of the new hybrid process many folds while compared with conventional AFM process. Developed process is capable of finishing advanced material efficiently and yields effective reduction in processing time.
