Choosing the right non-conventional machining process for industrial manufacturing requires evaluating several core factors:
Material is removed through controlled chemical etching using "etchants." Common in the production of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Comparative Analysis: Traditional vs. Non-Conventional Traditional Machining Non-Conventional Machining Must be harder than workpiece Hardness is not a factor Tool Wear High due to friction Low to zero Energy Source Mechanical (Shear force) Thermal, Chemical, Electrical Precision Limited by tool size Extremely high (microns) Surface Finish Industrial Applications To make your PPT impactful, include real-world examples: Aerospace: Cooling holes in turbine blades (EDM/Laser). Medical: Surgical instruments and implants (ECM). Non Conventional Machining Process Ppt
Machining brittle materials like glass, ceramics, quartz, and gemstones; drilling non-circular holes. Medical: Surgical instruments and implants (ECM)
High initial investment; creates a small heat-affected zone (HAZ). Electrochemical Machining (ECM) or stone. 2. Thermal Processes
Uses an ultra-high-pressure stream of water (often mixed with abrasives) to cut through thick metals, composites, or stone. 2. Thermal Processes
