Question:
What Is Non-Conventional Machining ?
Answer:
Non-traditional manufacturing processes is defined as a group of processes that remove excess material by various techniques involving mechanical, thermal, electrical or chemical energy or combinations of these energies but do not use a sharp cutting tools as it needs to be used for traditional manufacturing processes. Extremely hard and brittle materials are difficult to machine by traditional machining processes such as turning, drilling, shaping and milling. Non-traditional machining processes, also called advanced manufacturing processes, are employed where traditional machining processes are not feasible, satisfactory or economical due to special reasons as outlined below.
- Very hard materials difficult to clamp for traditional machining
- When the work piece is too flexible or slender
- When the shape of the part is too complex
Types of Non-Conventional Machining:-
- Ultrasonic machining
- Water jet cutting
- Laser Beam Machining, Etc.
