Machining Process Manufacturing processes can be broadly divided into
two groups:a) Primary manufacturing processes : Provide basic
shape and sizeb) Secondary manufacturing processes : Provide final
shape and size with tighter control on dimension, surface characteristics
Material removal processes once again can be divided into two groups
1. Conventional Machining Processes 2. Non-Traditional Manufacturing Processes or non-
conventional Manufacturing processes

Needs for Non Traditional Machining• Extremely hard and brittle materials or Difficult to
machine materials are difficult to machine by traditional machining processes.
• When the work piece is too flexible or slender to support the cutting or grinding forces.
• When the shape of the part is too complex.• Intricate shaped blind hole – e.g. square hole of 15
mmx15 mm with a depth of 30 mm • Deep hole with small hole diameter – e.g. φ 1.5 mm
hole with l/d = 20 • Machining of composites.

Conventional Machining VS Unconventional Machining
In Conventional machining process, the cutting tool and work piece are always in physical contact, with a relative motion against each other, which results in friction and a significant tool wear.
In Unconventional machining processes, there is no physical contact between the tool and work piece. Although in some non-traditional processes tool wear exists, it rarely is a significant problem.

Definition of AJM :-
In AJM, the material removal takes place due to impingement of the fine abrasive particles. These particles move with the high speed air (or gas) stream.
The abrasive particles are typically of 0.025 mm diameter and the air discharges at a pressure of several atmosphere.

Working of Abrasive jet machining: (AJM):
May 1, 20233
The nozzle is made of a hard material like Tungsten Carbide here fine grained abrasive particles are fed from the Hooper into the mixing chamber.
High pressure air is forced in to the mixing chamber.
The stream of abrasive particles bombards the work piece at a very high speed and removes the work material due to erosion.
The abrasive particle feed rate is controlled by the amplitude of vibration of the mixing chamber.

Nozzle
May 1, 20233
The nozzle is one of the most vital elements controlling the process characteristics. Since it is continuously in contact with the abrasive grains flowing at a high speed, the material must be hard to avoid any significant wear.
One of the most important factors in AJM is the distance between the work surface and the tip of the nozzle, normally called the nozzle distance

Definition of LBM :-
Laser-beam machining is a thermal material-removal process that utilizes a high-energy, coherent light beam to melt and vaporize particles on the surface of metallic and non-metallic work pieces.
Lasers can be used to cut, drill, weld and mark. LBM is particularly suitable for making accurately placed holes.

Principle of EDM:
Electrical discharge machining (EDM), sometimes also referred to as spark machining, spark eroding, burning, die sinking, wire burning or wire erosion, is a manufacturing process whereby a desired shape is obtained using electrical discharges (sparks).
Material is removed from the work piece by a series of rapidly recurring current discharges between two electrodes , separated by a die-electric liquid and subject to an electric voltage. One of the electrodes is called the tool-electrode, or simply the "tool" or "electrode", while the other is called the workpiece-electrode, or "workpiece".

Working of EDM
The electrode and the work piece are separated by a dielectric medium.
The dielectric medium is like as kerosene, paraffin or light oil.
The strong electrostatic field between the electrode and work piece produce emission of electrons from the cathode.

Working of EDM
In this gap between tool and work piece get ionized. The liquid is force to sparking zone.
Due to high temperature, the metal at the sparking zone melts instantaneously.
The material of the tool is usually a material which conduct electricity and which can be easily shaped.

Working of USM
As the tool vibrate with specific frequency the abrasive slurry mix with water and grain of definite proportion is made to flow under pressure through the tool work piece interface. The flow of slurry through the work tool interface actually causes thousand of microscopic grain to remove the work material by abrasion.

Definition of EBM :-
Electron Beam Machining (EBM) is a thermal process. Here a steam of high speed electrons impinges on the work surface so that the kinetic energy of electrons is transferred to work producing intense heating.
Depending upon the intensity of heating the work piece can melt and vaporize.
The process of heating by electron beam is used for annealing, welding or metal removal.

EBM:
During EBM process very high velocities can be obtained by using enough voltage of 1,50,000 V can produce velocity of 228,478 km/sec and it is focused on 10 – 200 μM diameter.
Power density can go up to 6500 billion W/sq.mm. Such a power density can vaporize any substance immediately.
Complex contours can be easily machined by maneuvering the electron beam using magnetic deflection coils

EBM:
To avoid a collision of the accelerating electrons with the air molecules, the process has to be conducted in vacuum. So EBM is not suitable for large work pieces.
Process is accomplished with vacuum so no possibility of contamination.
No effects on work piece because about 25-50μm away from machining spot remains at room temperature and so no effects of high temperature on work

Working of EBM
The EBM beam is operated in pulse mode.
This is achieved by appropriately biasing the biased grid located just after the cathode.
Switching pulses are given to the bias grid so as to achieve pulse duration of as low as 50 μs to as long as 15 ms.

Working of EBM
Beam current is directly related to the number of electrons emitted by the cathode or available in the beam.
Beam current once again can be as low as 200μ amp to 1 amp. Increasing the beam current directly increases the energy per pulse.

Working of EBM
Similarly increase in pulse duration also enhances energy per pulse.
High-energy pulses (in excess of 100 J/pulse) can machine larger holes on thicker plates.
A higher energy density, i.e., for a lower spot size, the material removal would be faster though the size of the hole would be smaller.
The plane of focusing would be on the surface of the work piece or just below the surface of the work piece.

Applications:-
Used for producing very small size holes like holes in diesel injection nozzles, Air brakes etc.
Used only for circular holes.

Limitations:-
Material removal rate is very low compared to other convectional machining processes.
Maintaining perfect vacuum is very difficult. The machining process can’t be seen by
operator. Work piece material should be electrically
conducting.

Advantages:- Very small size holes can be produced. Surface finish produced is good. Highly reactive metals like Al and Mg can be
machined very easily.
