Abstract: We are expecting to introduce a new equipement that will combine the benefits of the Die Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining with one that will use Ultrasonic Machining. If both parts will work simultaneously we will have a new hybrid technology. In the same time, both parts can work independently  as either a Die Sinking Electrical Discharge Machining or as a Ultrasonic Machining.

Key words: hybrid machining, electrical discharge machining, ultrasonic machining, Barkhausen

phenomenon, nonconventional processes.
