Non-conventional machining (NCM) processes, also known as advanced or non-traditional machining, represent a group of material removal techniques that do not use physical contact or conventional cutting tools non conventional machining process ppt updated
These processes are primarily classified by the type of energy used to remove material: Energy Source Example Processes Key Applications Erosion / Shear USM, WJM, AJM Brittle materials, ceramics, glass Thermal Melting / Vaporisation EDM, LBM, EBM, PAM Hardened steels, intricate dies, micro-holes Chemical Chemical Etching Thin sheets, complex surface textures Electrochemical Ion Displacement Turbine blades, medical implants Key Machining Processes Non-Conventional Machining | PPTX - Slideshare | Process | Energy Source | Media Required
