Important
Characteristics
of AMPs
Process performance is independent of
Workpiece Material properties such as
hardness.Toughness, ductility, brittleness etc.
Process Performance highly depends upon the
thermal, electrical, magnetic and chemical
properties of the workpiece material
Process utilizes
different types of
source energy i.e.
Mechanical, Thermal,
Electrical and
Chemical in its direct
form
Usually AMPs Possesses lower material removal
rate as compared to conventional processes but
in turns AMPs provide high quality parts
Initial investment cost of setting an AMP is high due to costly
machine tools and high operating costs
Classification of UNconventional machining
Processes
• Mechanical mechanical erosion of work material by a high velocity
‑
stream of abrasives or fluid (or both)
• Electrical electrochemical energy to remove material (reverse of
‑
electroplating)
• Thermal – thermal energy applied to small portion of work surface,
causing that portion to be fused and/or vaporized
• Chemical – chemical etchants selectively remove material from
portions of workpart, while other portions are protected by a mask
Mechanical Energy Processes
• Ultrasonic machining
• Water jet cutting
• Abrasive water jet cutting
• Abrasive jet machining
• Abrasive flow machining
Ultrasonic
Machining
• Ultrasonic vibration (20,000 Hz) of very small
amplitudes (0.04-0.08 mm) drive the form
tool (sonotrode) of ductile material (usually
soft steel)
• An abrasive slurry is flowed through the work
area
• The workpiece is brittle in nature (i.e. glass)
• The workpiece is gradually eroded away.
Ultrasonic Machining (USM)
• Abrasives contained in a slurry are driven at high velocity against work
by a tool vibrating at low amplitude and high frequency
• Tool oscillation is perpendicular to work surface
• Abrasives accomplish material removal
• Tool is fed slowly into work
• Shape of tool is formed into part
USM Applications
• Hard, brittle work materials such as ceramics, glass, and carbides
• Also successful on certain metals, such as stainless steel and titanium
• Shapes include non-round holes, holes along a curved axis
• “Coining operations” - pattern on tool is imparted to a flat work
surface
• Uses high pressure, high velocity
stream of water directed at work
surface for cutting
Water Jet Cutting (WJC)
WJC Applications
• Usually automated by CNC or industrial robots to manipulate nozzle
along desired trajectory
• Used to cut narrow slits in flat stock such as plastic, textiles,
composites, floor tile, carpet, leather, and cardboard
• Not suitable for brittle materials (e.g., glass)
WJC Advantages
• No crushing or burning of work surface
• Minimum material loss
• No environmental pollution
• Ease of automation
Abrasive
Water Jet
• High pressure water (20,000-60,000 psi)
• Educt abrasive into stream
• Can cut extremely thick parts (5-10 inches
possible)
• Thickness achievable is a function of speed
• Twice as thick will take more than twice as long
• Tight tolerances achievable
• Current machines 0.002” (older machines much
less capable ~ 0.010”
• Jet will lag machine position, so controls must
plan for it
• High velocity stream of gas containing small abrasive
particles
Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM)
AJM Application Notes
• Usually performed manually by operator who aims nozzle
• Normally used as a finishing process rather than cutting process
• Applications: deburring, trimming and deflashing, cleaning, and
polishing
• Work materials: thin flat stock of hard, brittle materials (e.g., glass,
silicon, mica, ceramics)
Electrochemical Machining Processes
• A group of processes in which electrical energy is used in combination
with chemical reactions to remove material
• Reverse of electroplating
• Work material must be a conductor
• Processes:
• Electrochemical machining (ECM)
• Electrochemical deburring (ECD)
• Electrochemical grinding (ECG)
• Material removal by anodic dissolution,
using electrode (the tool) in close
proximity to work but separated by a
rapidly flowing electrolyte
Electrochemical Machining (ECM)
ECM Applications
• Die sinking - irregular shapes and contours for forging dies, plastic
molds, and other tools
• Multiple hole drilling - many holes can be drilled simultaneously with
ECM
• Holes that are not round
• Rotating drill is not used in ECM
• Deburring
• Adaptation of ECM to remove burrs or sharp corners on holes in
metal parts produced by conventional through hole drilling
‑
Electrochemical Deburring (ECD)
• Special form of ECM in which grinding wheel with conductive bond material
augments anodic dissolution of metal part surface
Electrochemical Grinding (ECG)
Applications and
Advantages of ECG
• Applications:
• Sharpening of cemented carbide tools
• Grinding of surgical needles and other thin-wall tubes,
and fragile parts
• Advantages:
• Deplating responsible for 95% of metal removal
• Because machining is mostly by electrochemical action,
grinding wheel lasts much longer
Thermal Energy Processes- Overview
• Very high local temperatures
• Material is removed by fusion or vaporization
• Physical and metallurgical damage to the new work surface
• In some cases, resulting finish is so poor that subsequent processing is
required
©2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Principles of
Modern Manufacturing 5/e
Thermal Energy Processes
• Electric discharge machining
• Electric discharge wire cutting
• Electron beam machining
• Laser beam machining
• Plasma arc machining
Electric Discharge Processes
• Metal removal by a series of discrete electrical discharges (sparks)
causing localized temperatures high enough to melt or vaporize the
metal
• Can be used only on electrically conducting work materials
• Two main processes:
• Electric discharge machining
• Wire electric discharge machining
• (a) Setup of process and (b) close up view of gap, showing discharge and metal
‑
removal
Electric Discharge Machining (EDM)
Work Materials in EDM
• Work materials must be electrically conducting
• Hardness and strength of work material are not factors in
EDM
• Material removal rate depends on melting point of work
material
EDM Applications
• Tooling for many mechanical processes: molds for plastic injection
molding, extrusion dies, wire drawing dies, forging and heading dies,
and sheetmetal stamping dies
• Production parts: delicate parts not rigid enough to withstand
conventional cutting forces, hole drilling where hole axis is at an acute
angle to surface, and machining of hard and exotic metals
• Special form of EDM that uses a small diameter wire as electrode to
cut a narrow kerf in work
Wire EDM
Operation of Wire EDM
• Work is fed slowly past wire along desired path
• Similar to a bandsaw operation
• CNC used for motion control
• While cutting, wire is continuously advanced between supply spool
and take up spool to maintain a constant diameter
‑
• Dielectric required, using nozzles directed at tool work interface or
‑
submerging workpart
• Definition of kerf and overcut in electric discharge wire cutting
Wire EDM
Wire EDM Applications
• Ideal for stamping die components
• Since kerf is so narrow, it is often possible to fabricate punch and die in a
single cut
• Other tools and parts with intricate outline shapes, such as lathe form
tools, extrusion dies, and flat templates
Wire EDM
Application
• Irregular outline cut from a solid slab by wire
EDM (photo courtesy of Makino).
Laser Beam Machining
• Lasers are high intensity focused light sources
• CO2
• Most widely used
• Generally more powerful that YAG lasers
• Cutting operations commonly
• Nd:YAG (Neodymium ions in an Yttrium Aluminum Garnet)
• Less powerful
• Etching/marking type operations more commonly
• Limited in depth of cut (focus of light)
• Would limit workpiece to less than 1 inch (< ½” typically)
WORKING OF IBM
Process:
• An ion source generates ions, usually argon or other
inert gases, and accelerates them to high velocities.
• The ion beam is directed toward the workpiece, where
ions collide with the material and cause atoms to
dislodge, effectively "sputtering" the material away.
• IBM is a non-contact process, so there is minimal
thermal impact on the material.
Materials Machined:
•Ideal for hard materials like ceramics, metals,
semiconductors, and optical glass.
•Used in applications where chemical reactions might
alter the material’s properties.
Mechanism of Material Removal In Ion Beam Machining
 Particle beam consisting of ionized atoms i.e. ions .
 A stream of ions of an inert gas, such as argon or metal such as
gallium is accelerated in a vacuum by high energies and directed
toward a solid work-piece.
 Ion beam knocks off atoms from workpiece by transferring kinetic
energy and momentum to atoms on the surface of the object,
 Sputtering off: knocking out atoms from the work-piece surface
through the transfer of kinetic energy from the incident ion to the
target atoms
 Removal of atoms occurs when the energy transferred exceeds the
binding energy
It is a process that uses a high-velocity jet of
ionized gas to cut and remove material from a
workpiece:
•How it works
A plasma torch generates a high-temperature
plasma jet by passing gas through an electric arc
between a cathode and anode. The plasma jet
melts and displaces the material from the
workpiece.
•Temperature
The plasma jet can reach temperatures of 11,000–
30,000°C.
Plasma arc machining (PAM)
•Materials
PAM is often used to cut electrically conductive materials like steel, aluminum, brass, and copper.
•Applications
PAM is used in fabrication and welding shops, automotive repair, industrial construction, and salvage operations.
•Gases
The gas used depends on the material being cut. For example, a mixture of argon and hydrogen can be used for
thicker stainless steel or aluminum, while a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen or methane and nitrogen can be used
for thinner stainless steel.
•Advantages
PAM is known for its high speed, precision cuts, and low cost of operation.
Plasma is a superheated, electrically ionized gas that is the fourth state of matter, along with solid, liquid, and
gas. It is highly conductive and very bright.
Hybrid Machining Processes
• Hybrid production/manufacturing means the combination of processes/machines in order to
produce parts in a more efficient and productive way.
• A general objective of hybrid manufacturing is the ‘‘1 + 1 = 3’’effect, meaning that the positive
effect of the hybrid process is more than the double of the advantages of the single processes.
• Hybrid can have several meanings:
combination of different active energy sources which act at the same time in the processing zone
(e.g. laser assisted turning);
processes which combine process steps that are usually performed in two or more process steps
Classification of hybrid machining processes
• Combined or mixed-type processes in which all constituent processes are directly involved in the
material removal.
• Assisted-type processes in which only one of the participating processes directly remove
material, while the other only assists in removal by having a positive effect on the conditions of
machining
Assisted hybrid processes
1. Vibration assisted hybrid machining processes:
• Vibration assisted grinding is a rather new technology where a superposition of conventional
grinding and a vibration (most often in the ultrasonic range) is established.
Vibration assisted EDM
• In micro-EDM process flushing conditions and discharge gap state have been
identified as main influences. Improved flushing strategies and optimized
discharge gap control circuits have led to great improvements.
• The periodic relative movement between tool and workpiece causes a flow of the dielectric and
an agitation of the debris particles in the dielectric medium. Due to this phenomenon, a settlement
of debris on the bore ground and the agglomeration of particles are reduced and the state of the
gap is equalized.
Vibration assisted EDM
In vibration assisted EDM, an additional
relative movement is applied in the system tool
electrode, work piece and dielectric fluid in
order to increase the flushing efficiency,
resulting in a higher material removal rate and
better process stability.
Ultrasonic-Assisted ECM (USECM)
• Electrochemical dissolution and the formation of a passivating oxidelayer occur on the work
piece surface by ion formation and movement within the electrolyte producing a high intensity
current flow.
• The passivating layer is then removed by these ultrasonically accelerated abrasives that impact
the work piece surface. This process also helps to maintain a constant inter-electrode gap.
2. Heat-Assisted HMPs
• The use of an external heat source improves the machinability by minimizing the machining
forces, improving the work surface, integrity and enhancing the tool life. This heat source may be
in the form of a laser beam, electron beam, plasma beam, high-frequency induction or electric
current etc.
• Laser-assisted machining is one of the important and most widely used category of the heat-
assisted HMPs.
• Laser-assisted HMPs are of two types:
• Laser-assisted mechanical machining: in which, a laser is used to heat the work piece ahead of
the cutting tool during conventional machining processes such as turning, milling and grinding.
• Laser-assisted advanced machining: where laser assistance enhances the material removal in
electrolytic dissolution and electro discharge-based AMPs.
I-Laser assisted turning
• In this process, the main material removal mechanism is still the one
occurring in conventional cutting, but the laser action softens the work
piece material, so machining of high alloyed steels or some ceramics
becomes easier.
• The laser beam is directly focused in front of the cutting tool, resulting in
easier machining and higher process performance.
II-Laser assisted ECM (LAECM)
The primary role of a laser in ECM is to improve the
localization of the dissolution process. The main
mechanism of material removal in laser-assisted ECM
(LAECM) is enhanced by electrolytic dissolution
because of an improved thermal activation brought
upon by a focused laser beam.
Additionally, it also helps in removing the
passivating metallic oxide layers formed on
the workpiece due to the evolution of oxygen
at the anode during the electrolysis process.
III-Laser-Assisted EDM (LAEDM)
• EDM drawbacks: Lengthy machining times and high tool wear
• Laser drawbacks: Formation of a recast layer and heat-affected zones (HAZ) and low surface
quality of the work piece.
• Solution:
• Hybridization of LBM and EDM as LAEDM addresses their respective
disadvantages. LAEDM is generally used in micro-machining applications for
reducing production time and eliminating the recast layer and HAZ caused by
laser ablation
Laser-Assisted EDM (LAEDM)
• A short-pulsed laser beam capable of producing high ablation rates is used to roughly pre-
machine the basic part features (i.e. groove, hole, cavity). This is subsequently followed by micro-
EDM within a suitable dielectric to remove the surface defects caused by the thermal effects of
laser ablation and to finish the feature
3. Magnetic field assisted machining processes
• Magnetic field-assisted HMPs rely on the enhancement of the primary
machining/finishing process by the addition (assistance) of magnetic field with
the aim to improve work piece surface quality and material removal rate.
• Magnetic field-assisted EDM (MAEDM)
• Magnetic field-assisted abrasive flow machining (MAAFM)
• I. Magnetic Field-Assisted EDM (MAEDM)
• Debris accumulation in the machining zone that adversely affects performance and efficiency
has always been a perennial problem in EDM.
• Adding magnetic field enhances the process stability and increases the efficiency of the
EDM component by effective removal of machining debris from the machining zone.
1.Magnetic Field-Assisted EDM (MAEDM)
The introduction of the magnetic
field exerts a magnetic force
perpendicular to the electrode’s
motion. As a result, debris particle
in the machining zone is subjected
both to a magnetic force and to a
centrifugal force.
The resultant force which is the
vector summation of the magnetic
and centrifugal forces ensures
effective and rapid flushing of
debris particles.
2.Magnetic field-assisted abrasive flow machining
Magnetic field-assisted abrasive
flow machining (MAAFM) is an
important hybrid AFM process
where the assistance of a magnetic
field provides the means of
controlling the cutting forces and
consequently the outcome of the
process includes higher surface
finish and finishing rate. This
process is capable of producing a
surface roughness as small as 8-10
nm.
4.External Electric Field-Assisted machining
• Laser Percussion Drilling for Highly Reflective Metals
• Laser percussion drilling has gained great attention in the industry due to its wide industrial
applicability and usage in processing of various materials, such as metals, glass, and ceramics.
• Laser percussion drilling is also characterized by a noncontact machining process, smaller beam
spot size, high operating speeds, great flexibility, and accuracy. However, it is difficult to apply
laser percussion drilling to highly reflective target surfaces, such as aluminium, which reflect the
optical energy and dramatically reduce the processing efficiency
• This drawback lengthens the drilling time, increasing the cost of the process and decreasing the
yield.
• Using the electric field influences the behaviour of the plasma plume during laser percussion
drilling. The depths of the drilled holes, obtained in the presence of applied electric field, are
deeper than those obtained in the normal case. These results are due to the effect of the electric
force by which the plume particle could be accelerated in the electric field
Femto second laser micromachining of silicon with an external electric field
• Machining of silicon wafers with fs lasers the debris was formed as a result of aggregation of small
particles such as atoms or atomic clusters on the substrate surface instead of large-scale droplets
or fragments, which are commonly observed with nanosecond lasers.
• In order to prevent particles from redepositing onto the Si surface an electric field during the fs
laser machining is applied. It is assumed that the charged ions in the plasma cloud would be
attracted to the electrodes
fs laser micromachining of Si without the external
Combined hybrid machining
• Combined or mixed HMPs are those processes in which two or more energy
sources/tools/mechanisms are combined and have a synergetic effect on the material removal
process. They can further be categorized as electrochemical HMPs and thermal HMPs.
• Electrochemical Hybrid Machining Processes (ECHMP)
• ECM offers many advantages, namely
process performance being independent of mechanical properties of the workpiece material
production of largely stress-free surface
good surface finish and integrity
higher productivity due to higher MRRs
Electrochemical Hybrid Machining Processes (ECHMP)
• Limitations:
Passivation of work piece surface by non-conducting metal oxide layer
formation due to the evolution of oxygen gas at the anode
applicability to only electrically conducting materials
corrosion of machining elements and surroundings due to the use of an
electrolyte
chemical damage caused to work piece surface
the dependence of accuracy on the inter-electrode gap which requires
efficient flushing
Need of ECHMP
• Conventional finishing processes such as grinding, mechanical honing, buffing and superfinishing
are inexpensive and give good surface quality, but the use of abrasives imparts some inherent
limitations such as
high tool wear;
low productivity and
mechanical damage to the finished surface.
• Solution:
• Combine ECM with some conventional machining/finishing or AMP to develop and
electrochemical HMP (ECHMP)
Electrochemical Grinding (ECG)
• ECG is the result of hybridizing ECM with the abrasive action of conventional grinding to machine
hard and fragile electrically conducting materials efficiently, economically and productively
without affecting the useful properties of these materials.
• ECG offers accurate and largely surface residual stress-free machining with no burrs and heat
affected zone (HAZ) and, therefore, little distortion
Equipment and Working Principle
The non-conducting abrasive particles protrude
just beyond the surface of the bonding material
of the wheel helping to maintain a constant
inter-electrode gap and act as spacers.
Bonding materials such as copper, brass, nickel
or copper impregnated resin are commonly
used for the manufacture of metal-bonded
grinding wheels.
Functions of abrasive particles:
to maintain the electrical insulation
between
anode workpiece and cathode.
continuously remove any passive layer
that may be formed on the workpiece
surface by chemical reaction
To determine workpiece shape and size
Three distinct zones in ECG process
Zone I, the material removal is purely due to
electrochemical dissolution
In Zone II, the gas bubbles in the gap yield
higher MRRs. Chemical or electrochemical
reaction may result in the formation of a
passive layer on the workpiece surface. The
abrasive particles not only remove material
from the work surface in the form of chips but
also remove the non-reactive oxide layer.
Zone III, the material removal is done
completely by electrochemical dissolution.
This zone starts at the point where the wheel
lifts just beyond the work surface. This zone
contributes by removal of burrs that formed on
the workpiece in zone II
EDM Combined with Conventional Machining
• Electric Discharge Grinding (EDG): EDG is a thermal HMP
An electrically conductive
grinding wheel is used as a tool
electrode.
Material removal occurs due to
the electro discharge action.
Abrasive component of the
process ensures effective
flushing which results in
improved material removal rate
and enhanced surface finish as
compared to the conventional
EDM process
Electric Discharge Diamond Grinding (EDDG)
) mechanism of material removal in EDAG
A metal-bonded grinding wheel with
embedded abrasive particles is used to
enhance the machining productivity and
surface finish.
Al2O3, SiC and CBN are commonly used
abrasive in this process. When diamond is
used as abrasive, this process is known as
electric discharge diamond grinding (EDDG).
Electrochemical Discharge Machining (ECDM)
• ECDM is a combination of electric discharge machining (EDM) and electrochemical machining
(ECM). Used for the machining of electrically non-conducting materials such as insulating
ceramics, glass, polymers etc.
• A complex combination of electrolytic dissolution and spark erosion.
Schematic of ECDM process Process mechanism of ECDM
Electrochemical Discharge Grinding (ECDG)
Electrochemical discharge grinding
(ECDG) hybridizes spark erosion,
electrolytic dissolution and mechanical
abrasion to machine electrically
conductive workpieces
Dissolution occurs at the
workpiece (anode) due to the
electrochemical reaction
A passivating oxide layer is also formed
on the work surface during the
electrochemical reaction.
Subsequent electro-erosion phase, the
spark discharges de-
passivate the oxide layer
Enhances the effectiveness of the
electrochemical dissolution and thereby
improves the workpiece material
removal rate.
Additive Manufacturing
Additive Manufacturing (AM) refers to a process by which digital 3D design
data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing material. (from the
International Committee F42 for Additive Manufacturing Technologies, ASTM)..

Evolution
Pros and Cons
AM processes are classified into seven categories
1) Vat Photopolymerisation/Steriolithography
2) Material Jetting
3) Binder jetting
4) Material extrusion
5) Powder bed fusion
6) Sheet lamination
7) Directed energy deposition
Vat photopolymerization/Steriolithography
• Laser beam traces a cross-section of the part pattern on the
surface of the liquid resin
• SLA's elevator platform descends
• A resin-filled blade sweeps across the cross section of the
part, re-coating it with fresh material
• Immersed in a chemical bath
Stereolithography requires the use of supporting structures
Material Jetting
• Drop on demand method
• The print head is positioned above build platform
• Material is deposited from a nozzle which moves
horizontally across the build platform
• Material layers are then cured or hardened using
ultraviolet (UV) light
• Droplets of material solidify and make up the first layer.
• Platform descends
• Good accuracy and surface finishes
Binder Jetting
• A glue or binder is jetted from an inkjet style print head
• Roller spreads a new layer of powder on top of the previous layer
• The subsequent layer is then printed and is stitched to the previous layer by
the jetted binder
• The remaining loose powder in the bed supports overhanging structures
Material Extrusion/FDM
• Fuse deposition modelling (FDM)
• Material is drawn through a nozzle, where it is heated and is then
deposited layer by layer
• First layer is built as nozzle deposits material where required onto the
cross sectional area.
• The following layers are added on top of previous layers.
• Layers are fused together upon deposition as the material is in a
melted state.
Powder Bed Fusion
• Selective laser sintering (SLS)
• Selective laser melting (SLM)
• Electron beam melting (EBM)
No support structures required
PROCESS
• A layer, typically 0.1mm thick of material is spread over the build platform.
• The SLS machine preheats the bulk powder material in the powder bed
• A laser fuses the first layer
• A new layer of powder is spread.
• Further layers or cross sections are fused and added.
• The process repeats until the entire model is created.
Sheet Lamination
• Metal sheets are used
• Laser beam cuts the contour of each layer
• Glue activated by hot rollers
PROCESS
1. The material is positioned in place on the cutting bed.
2. The material is bonded in place, over the previous layer,
using the adhesive.
3. The required shape is then cut from the layer, by laser or
knife.
4. The next layer is added.
Directed Energy Deposition
• Consists of a nozzle mounted on a multi axis arm
• Nozzle can move in multiple directions
• Material is melted upon deposition with a laser or electron beam
PROCESS
1. A4 or 5 axis arm with nozzle moves around a fixed object.
2. Material is deposited from the nozzle onto existing surfaces of the
object.
3. Material is either provided in wire or powder form.
4. Material is melted using a laser, electron beam or plasma arc upon
deposition.
5. Further material is added layer by layer and solidifies, creating or
repairing new material features on the existing object.

  • 19. Important Characteristics of AMPs Process performance is independent of Workpiece Material properties such as hardness.Toughness, ductility, brittleness etc. Process Performance highly depends upon the thermal, electrical, magnetic and chemical properties of the workpiece material Process utilizes different types of source energy i.e. Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical and Chemical in its direct form Usually AMPs Possesses lower material removal rate as compared to conventional processes but in turns AMPs provide high quality parts Initial investment cost of setting an AMP is high due to costly machine tools and high operating costs
  • 20. Classification of UNconventional machining Processes • Mechanical mechanical erosion of work material by a high velocity ‑ stream of abrasives or fluid (or both) • Electrical electrochemical energy to remove material (reverse of ‑ electroplating) • Thermal – thermal energy applied to small portion of work surface, causing that portion to be fused and/or vaporized • Chemical – chemical etchants selectively remove material from portions of workpart, while other portions are protected by a mask
  • 21. Mechanical Energy Processes • Ultrasonic machining • Water jet cutting • Abrasive water jet cutting • Abrasive jet machining • Abrasive flow machining
  • 22. Ultrasonic Machining • Ultrasonic vibration (20,000 Hz) of very small amplitudes (0.04-0.08 mm) drive the form tool (sonotrode) of ductile material (usually soft steel) • An abrasive slurry is flowed through the work area • The workpiece is brittle in nature (i.e. glass) • The workpiece is gradually eroded away.
  • 23. Ultrasonic Machining (USM) • Abrasives contained in a slurry are driven at high velocity against work by a tool vibrating at low amplitude and high frequency • Tool oscillation is perpendicular to work surface • Abrasives accomplish material removal • Tool is fed slowly into work • Shape of tool is formed into part
  • 24. USM Applications • Hard, brittle work materials such as ceramics, glass, and carbides • Also successful on certain metals, such as stainless steel and titanium • Shapes include non-round holes, holes along a curved axis • “Coining operations” - pattern on tool is imparted to a flat work surface
  • 25. • Uses high pressure, high velocity stream of water directed at work surface for cutting Water Jet Cutting (WJC)
  • 26. WJC Applications • Usually automated by CNC or industrial robots to manipulate nozzle along desired trajectory • Used to cut narrow slits in flat stock such as plastic, textiles, composites, floor tile, carpet, leather, and cardboard • Not suitable for brittle materials (e.g., glass)
  • 27. WJC Advantages • No crushing or burning of work surface • Minimum material loss • No environmental pollution • Ease of automation
  • 28. Abrasive Water Jet • High pressure water (20,000-60,000 psi) • Educt abrasive into stream • Can cut extremely thick parts (5-10 inches possible) • Thickness achievable is a function of speed • Twice as thick will take more than twice as long • Tight tolerances achievable • Current machines 0.002” (older machines much less capable ~ 0.010” • Jet will lag machine position, so controls must plan for it
  • 29. • High velocity stream of gas containing small abrasive particles Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM)
  • 30. AJM Application Notes • Usually performed manually by operator who aims nozzle • Normally used as a finishing process rather than cutting process • Applications: deburring, trimming and deflashing, cleaning, and polishing • Work materials: thin flat stock of hard, brittle materials (e.g., glass, silicon, mica, ceramics)
  • 31. Electrochemical Machining Processes • A group of processes in which electrical energy is used in combination with chemical reactions to remove material • Reverse of electroplating • Work material must be a conductor • Processes: • Electrochemical machining (ECM) • Electrochemical deburring (ECD) • Electrochemical grinding (ECG)

  • 49. WORKING OF IBM Process: • An ion source generates ions, usually argon or other inert gases, and accelerates them to high velocities. • The ion beam is directed toward the workpiece, where ions collide with the material and cause atoms to dislodge, effectively "sputtering" the material away. • IBM is a non-contact process, so there is minimal thermal impact on the material. Materials Machined: •Ideal for hard materials like ceramics, metals, semiconductors, and optical glass. •Used in applications where chemical reactions might alter the material’s properties.
  • 50. Mechanism of Material Removal In Ion Beam Machining  Particle beam consisting of ionized atoms i.e. ions .  A stream of ions of an inert gas, such as argon or metal such as gallium is accelerated in a vacuum by high energies and directed toward a solid work-piece.  Ion beam knocks off atoms from workpiece by transferring kinetic energy and momentum to atoms on the surface of the object,  Sputtering off: knocking out atoms from the work-piece surface through the transfer of kinetic energy from the incident ion to the target atoms  Removal of atoms occurs when the energy transferred exceeds the binding energy
  • 51. It is a process that uses a high-velocity jet of ionized gas to cut and remove material from a workpiece: •How it works A plasma torch generates a high-temperature plasma jet by passing gas through an electric arc between a cathode and anode. The plasma jet melts and displaces the material from the workpiece. •Temperature The plasma jet can reach temperatures of 11,000– 30,000°C. Plasma arc machining (PAM)
  • 52. •Materials PAM is often used to cut electrically conductive materials like steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. •Applications PAM is used in fabrication and welding shops, automotive repair, industrial construction, and salvage operations. •Gases The gas used depends on the material being cut. For example, a mixture of argon and hydrogen can be used for thicker stainless steel or aluminum, while a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen or methane and nitrogen can be used for thinner stainless steel. •Advantages PAM is known for its high speed, precision cuts, and low cost of operation. Plasma is a superheated, electrically ionized gas that is the fourth state of matter, along with solid, liquid, and gas. It is highly conductive and very bright.
  • 53. Hybrid Machining Processes • Hybrid production/manufacturing means the combination of processes/machines in order to produce parts in a more efficient and productive way. • A general objective of hybrid manufacturing is the ‘‘1 + 1 = 3’’effect, meaning that the positive effect of the hybrid process is more than the double of the advantages of the single processes. • Hybrid can have several meanings: combination of different active energy sources which act at the same time in the processing zone (e.g. laser assisted turning); processes which combine process steps that are usually performed in two or more process steps
  • 54. Classification of hybrid machining processes • Combined or mixed-type processes in which all constituent processes are directly involved in the material removal. • Assisted-type processes in which only one of the participating processes directly remove material, while the other only assists in removal by having a positive effect on the conditions of machining
  • 55. Assisted hybrid processes 1. Vibration assisted hybrid machining processes: • Vibration assisted grinding is a rather new technology where a superposition of conventional grinding and a vibration (most often in the ultrasonic range) is established.
  • 56. Vibration assisted EDM • In micro-EDM process flushing conditions and discharge gap state have been identified as main influences. Improved flushing strategies and optimized discharge gap control circuits have led to great improvements. • The periodic relative movement between tool and workpiece causes a flow of the dielectric and an agitation of the debris particles in the dielectric medium. Due to this phenomenon, a settlement of debris on the bore ground and the agglomeration of particles are reduced and the state of the gap is equalized.
  • 57. Vibration assisted EDM In vibration assisted EDM, an additional relative movement is applied in the system tool electrode, work piece and dielectric fluid in order to increase the flushing efficiency, resulting in a higher material removal rate and better process stability.
  • 58. Ultrasonic-Assisted ECM (USECM) • Electrochemical dissolution and the formation of a passivating oxidelayer occur on the work piece surface by ion formation and movement within the electrolyte producing a high intensity current flow. • The passivating layer is then removed by these ultrasonically accelerated abrasives that impact the work piece surface. This process also helps to maintain a constant inter-electrode gap.
  • 59. 2. Heat-Assisted HMPs • The use of an external heat source improves the machinability by minimizing the machining forces, improving the work surface, integrity and enhancing the tool life. This heat source may be in the form of a laser beam, electron beam, plasma beam, high-frequency induction or electric current etc. • Laser-assisted machining is one of the important and most widely used category of the heat- assisted HMPs. • Laser-assisted HMPs are of two types: • Laser-assisted mechanical machining: in which, a laser is used to heat the work piece ahead of the cutting tool during conventional machining processes such as turning, milling and grinding. • Laser-assisted advanced machining: where laser assistance enhances the material removal in electrolytic dissolution and electro discharge-based AMPs.
  • 60. I-Laser assisted turning • In this process, the main material removal mechanism is still the one occurring in conventional cutting, but the laser action softens the work piece material, so machining of high alloyed steels or some ceramics becomes easier. • The laser beam is directly focused in front of the cutting tool, resulting in easier machining and higher process performance.
  • 61. II-Laser assisted ECM (LAECM) The primary role of a laser in ECM is to improve the localization of the dissolution process. The main mechanism of material removal in laser-assisted ECM (LAECM) is enhanced by electrolytic dissolution because of an improved thermal activation brought upon by a focused laser beam. Additionally, it also helps in removing the passivating metallic oxide layers formed on the workpiece due to the evolution of oxygen at the anode during the electrolysis process.
  • 62. III-Laser-Assisted EDM (LAEDM) • EDM drawbacks: Lengthy machining times and high tool wear • Laser drawbacks: Formation of a recast layer and heat-affected zones (HAZ) and low surface quality of the work piece. • Solution: • Hybridization of LBM and EDM as LAEDM addresses their respective disadvantages. LAEDM is generally used in micro-machining applications for reducing production time and eliminating the recast layer and HAZ caused by laser ablation
  • 63. Laser-Assisted EDM (LAEDM) • A short-pulsed laser beam capable of producing high ablation rates is used to roughly pre- machine the basic part features (i.e. groove, hole, cavity). This is subsequently followed by micro- EDM within a suitable dielectric to remove the surface defects caused by the thermal effects of laser ablation and to finish the feature
  • 64. 3. Magnetic field assisted machining processes • Magnetic field-assisted HMPs rely on the enhancement of the primary machining/finishing process by the addition (assistance) of magnetic field with the aim to improve work piece surface quality and material removal rate. • Magnetic field-assisted EDM (MAEDM) • Magnetic field-assisted abrasive flow machining (MAAFM) • I. Magnetic Field-Assisted EDM (MAEDM) • Debris accumulation in the machining zone that adversely affects performance and efficiency has always been a perennial problem in EDM. • Adding magnetic field enhances the process stability and increases the efficiency of the EDM component by effective removal of machining debris from the machining zone.
  • 65. 1.Magnetic Field-Assisted EDM (MAEDM) The introduction of the magnetic field exerts a magnetic force perpendicular to the electrode’s motion. As a result, debris particle in the machining zone is subjected both to a magnetic force and to a centrifugal force. The resultant force which is the vector summation of the magnetic and centrifugal forces ensures effective and rapid flushing of debris particles.
  • 66. 2.Magnetic field-assisted abrasive flow machining Magnetic field-assisted abrasive flow machining (MAAFM) is an important hybrid AFM process where the assistance of a magnetic field provides the means of controlling the cutting forces and consequently the outcome of the process includes higher surface finish and finishing rate. This process is capable of producing a surface roughness as small as 8-10 nm.
  • 67. 4.External Electric Field-Assisted machining • Laser Percussion Drilling for Highly Reflective Metals • Laser percussion drilling has gained great attention in the industry due to its wide industrial applicability and usage in processing of various materials, such as metals, glass, and ceramics. • Laser percussion drilling is also characterized by a noncontact machining process, smaller beam spot size, high operating speeds, great flexibility, and accuracy. However, it is difficult to apply laser percussion drilling to highly reflective target surfaces, such as aluminium, which reflect the optical energy and dramatically reduce the processing efficiency • This drawback lengthens the drilling time, increasing the cost of the process and decreasing the yield. • Using the electric field influences the behaviour of the plasma plume during laser percussion drilling. The depths of the drilled holes, obtained in the presence of applied electric field, are deeper than those obtained in the normal case. These results are due to the effect of the electric force by which the plume particle could be accelerated in the electric field
  • 68. Femto second laser micromachining of silicon with an external electric field • Machining of silicon wafers with fs lasers the debris was formed as a result of aggregation of small particles such as atoms or atomic clusters on the substrate surface instead of large-scale droplets or fragments, which are commonly observed with nanosecond lasers. • In order to prevent particles from redepositing onto the Si surface an electric field during the fs laser machining is applied. It is assumed that the charged ions in the plasma cloud would be attracted to the electrodes fs laser micromachining of Si without the external

  • 70. Electrochemical Hybrid Machining Processes (ECHMP) • Limitations: Passivation of work piece surface by non-conducting metal oxide layer formation due to the evolution of oxygen gas at the anode applicability to only electrically conducting materials corrosion of machining elements and surroundings due to the use of an electrolyte chemical damage caused to work piece surface the dependence of accuracy on the inter-electrode gap which requires efficient flushing
  • 71. Need of ECHMP • Conventional finishing processes such as grinding, mechanical honing, buffing and superfinishing are inexpensive and give good surface quality, but the use of abrasives imparts some inherent limitations such as high tool wear; low productivity and mechanical damage to the finished surface. • Solution: • Combine ECM with some conventional machining/finishing or AMP to develop and electrochemical HMP (ECHMP)
  • 72. Electrochemical Grinding (ECG) • ECG is the result of hybridizing ECM with the abrasive action of conventional grinding to machine hard and fragile electrically conducting materials efficiently, economically and productively without affecting the useful properties of these materials. • ECG offers accurate and largely surface residual stress-free machining with no burrs and heat affected zone (HAZ) and, therefore, little distortion
  • 73. Equipment and Working Principle The non-conducting abrasive particles protrude just beyond the surface of the bonding material of the wheel helping to maintain a constant inter-electrode gap and act as spacers. Bonding materials such as copper, brass, nickel or copper impregnated resin are commonly used for the manufacture of metal-bonded grinding wheels. Functions of abrasive particles: to maintain the electrical insulation between anode workpiece and cathode. continuously remove any passive layer that may be formed on the workpiece surface by chemical reaction To determine workpiece shape and size
  • 74. Three distinct zones in ECG process Zone I, the material removal is purely due to electrochemical dissolution In Zone II, the gas bubbles in the gap yield higher MRRs. Chemical or electrochemical reaction may result in the formation of a passive layer on the workpiece surface. The abrasive particles not only remove material from the work surface in the form of chips but also remove the non-reactive oxide layer. Zone III, the material removal is done completely by electrochemical dissolution. This zone starts at the point where the wheel lifts just beyond the work surface. This zone contributes by removal of burrs that formed on the workpiece in zone II
