Ultrasonic waves can be generated using mechanical, electromagnetic and thermal energy sources. They can be produced in gasses (including air), liquids and solids.
In the process of Ultrasonic drilling, material is removed by micro-chipping or erosion with abrasive particles.
The tool is oscillated by a piezoelectric transducer and an electric oscillator at a frequency of about 20 kHz.
