Unit 1: Introduction to Non-traditional Machining Processes
Subject: Advanced Manufacturing Process Unit 1: Introduction to Non-traditional Machining Processes Machining Process Machining is defined by the process of removing excess material from the work piece to obtain the desired shape and size of a final product. Classification of Machining Process Depending upon the type of machine tools that are used for machining, machining processes can be classified as follows: 1. Traditional or, Conventional Machining Example- Turning, Milling, Drilling, Broaching etc. 2. Non-Traditional or, Unconventional Machining Example- WJM, AJM, USM, CHM, ECM, EDM, EBM, LBM, PAM etc. Traditional Machining Process In traditional or conventional machining processes material removal is done by relative motion between the tool and work piece in the form of chips by shearing action. Example- Turning, Milling, Drilling, Shaping, Planning etc. Non-Traditional or Unconventional Machining Process In non-traditional machining process the metal removal is done by vari...
