Design of Ultrasonic Conical Horn using Aluminium Alloy and Steel

Abstract

Horn plays an important role in ultrasonic machining process. The design of horn is critical to its efficiency and quality of machining process. Ultrasonic horns are tuned. Components designed to vibrate in a longitudinal mode at ultrasonic. Frequencies. Reliable performance of such horns is normally decided by the uniformity of vibration amplitude at the working surface and the stress developed during loading condition. The design parameters of horn are calculated from the theoretical derivation of horn. By these parameters, the horn is designed and analyzed using CREO PRO and ANSYS software. In this paper the main object of the project is to Improve the performance of the Horn from the analysis test results, The horn is compared with other available horn results by comparing its natural frequency, amplitude vibration and temperature of the horn.
