Laser–Beam Machining
Laser-beam machining i s 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…
Wire Cut EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)
Wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a process of metal machining in which a tool discharges thousands of sparks to a metal workpiece. A non-conventional process, wire EDM works on parts resistant…
Advantages and disadvantages for EDM Machining
Electro-discharge machining is a processing method that is mainly used for hard metals, or is a processing method that is difficult to process using conventional techniques. EDM usually works with…
Thermoelectric Principle
Thermoelectricity means the direct conversion of heat into electric energy, or vice versa. The term is generally restricted to the irreversible conversion of electricity into heat described by the English…
Electrochemical Deburring
Electrochemical deburring (ECD) is an adaptation of Electrochemical Machining (ECM) process designed to remove burrs or to round sharp corners on metal workpieces by anodic dissolution method. One possible setup for…
ELECTROCHEMICAL GRINDING (ECG)
Electrochemical Grinding, or ECG, is a variation of ECM (Electrochemical Machining) that combines electrolytic activity with the physical removal of material by means of charged grinding wheels. Electrochemical Grinding (ECG)…
ELECTROCHEMICAL HONING
Electrochemical honing is one of the non-equilibrium gap processes in ECM and is a new technique, which in spite of being used in some industrial plants especially to smooth surfaces,…
Electrochemical Machining (ECM)
Introduction Electrochemical machin ing (ECM) is a metal -removal process base d on the principle of reverse electroplating. In this p rocess, particles travel from the anodic material (workpiece) toward…
Chemical milling
In chemical milling, shallow cavities are produced on plates, sheets, forgings and extrusions. The two key materials used in chemical milling process are etchant and maskant. Etchants are acid or…
Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM)
Introduction Abrasive water jet cutting is an extended version of water jet cutting; in which the water jet contains abrasive particles such as silicon carbide or aluminium oxide in order…
