Hybrid micro-machining processes: A review

Micro Machining-A Review

In recent years, advanced materials with unique metallurgical properties such as super alloys, composites and ceramics have been developed to meet the demands of extreme applications. While these materials are harder, tougher, less heat sensitive and more resistant to corrosion and fatigue, they are also difficult to machine. Advanced materials are being widely used these days not only in the a...

Nontraditional and Hybrid Machining Processes

Review on Micro Electrical Discharge Machining

Recent trend in reducing the size of products has given Micro Electrical Discharge Machining (MEDM) a significant amount of research attention. Due to the high precision, low tolerance and good surface quality that it can deliver, MEDM is potentially an important process for fabrication of micro-tools, micro-components and parts with micro-features. This paper briefs and highlights the various ...

Evaluation of machine-tool motion accuracy using a CNC machining centre in micro-milling processes

The demand for micro holes, micro-moulds and micro forms continues to grow as high-tech industries demand miniaturized products. Sectors such as aerospace, microelectronics, medicine, and even the automotive sector, are just some examples of enterprises that are taking advantage of micro-manufacturing technologies. Within this framework, the need to adapt the knowledge of macro-scale manufactur...

A. Galip Ulsoy Control of Machining Processes

This paper reviews the important recent research contributions for control of machining processes {e.g., turning, milling, drilling, and grinding). The major research accomplishments are reviewed from the perspective of a hierarchical control system structure which considers servo, process, and supervisory control levels. The use and benefits of advanced control methods (e.g., optimal control, ...
