5. Industrial Applications (Aerospace, Medical, and Semiconductor)
Mass production of turbine blades, artillery barrel rifling, and deburring complex internal intersections. 4. Conventional vs. Non-Conventional Machining Conventional Machining Non-Conventional Machining Material Removal Mechanism Plastic deformation/shear chip formation Erosion, melting, vaporization, or dissolution Tool Material Requirement Tool must be harder than the workpiece Tool hardness is irrelevant Physical Contact Direct physical contact No direct contact Energy Source Mechanical force (Motors) Thermal, electrical, chemical, or kinetic Tool Wear High due to friction Minimal to zero (excluding EDM tool wear) Surface Finish Surface damage, micro-cracking common Excellent surface finish, no residual stresses Suitability Best for soft, ductile materials Best for ultra-hard, brittle materials 5. Industrial Advantages and Limitations Advantages non conventional machining process ppt updated
