hybrid machining process
1. Introduction Hybrid machining is combine different machining processes to manufacture components with a better machining performance. The objective of hybridizing processes is the positive effect of the hybrid process is…
What Is Magnetic Abrasive Finishing?
Also known as magnetic field-assisted finishing, magnetic abrasive finishing is a finishing process that involves the use of a magnetic field to apply particulate matter onto the surface of a…
Chemo – Mechanical Polishing
Polishing very thin films of diamond is problematic, as the curvature of the substrate (the wafer bow) can be much greater than the thickness of the film. This is exaggerated…
Abrasive flow machining
Abrasive flow machining (AFM), also known as abrasive flow deburring or extrude honing, is an interior surface finishing process characterized by flowing an abrasive-laden fluid through a workpiece. This fluid is typically very viscous, having the consistency of putty, or dough. AFM…
Nano-Finishing
Final finishing operations in manufacturing of precise parts are always of concern owing to their most critical, labour intensive and least controllable nature. In the era of nanotechnology, deterministic high…
Ion-Beam Machining (IBM)
Ion-beam machining or etching is generally a surface finishing process in which the material removal takes place by sputtering of ions. The process is different from electric discharge, electron beam,…
PLASMA ARC WELDING (PAW)
Plasma arc welding (PAW) is a process of joining of metals, produced by heating with a constricted arc between an electrode and the work piece (transfer arc) or the electrode…
PLASMA ARC MACHINING (PAM)
The plasma welding process was introduced to the welding industry in 1964 as a method of bringing better control to the a rc welding process in lower current ranges. Todday,…
ELECTRON BEAM MACHINING(EBM)
As has already been mentioned in EBM the gun is operated in pulse mode. This is achieved by appropriately biasing the biased grid located just after the cathode. Switching pulses…
Laser beam cutting (milling)
• A laser spot reflected onto the surface of a workpiece travels along a prescribed trajectory and cuts into the material. • Continuous-wave mode (CO2) gas lasers are very suitable for laser…
