Abrasive flow machining (AFM) is very effective and widely adopted superfinishing process of internal channel surfaces in industry. There have been high demands for monitoring surface roughness evolution during AFM, as the sensitive to AFM medium variables, such abrasive grain size concentration, well duration. Acoustic emission (AE) known be a promising tool detect microscale deformation mecha...

This paper presents a review on the problems encountered in machining titanium and application of USM in machining titanium and its alloys. Experiments have been conducted to assess the effect of three factors-tool material, grit size of the abrasive slurry and power rating of ultrasonic machine on machining characteristics of titanium (ASTM Grade I) using full factorial approach for design and...

Ultrasonic machining (USM) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard or brittle work pieces by using shaped tools, high-frequency and an abrasive slurry. This paper addresses the concept and development of an expert system (ES) for hard and brittle material, such as glass, quartz, diamond, carbides, semi conducting materials, ceramic and graphite which ca...

The aim of this work is to analyze the micro mechanisms underlying the wear of macroscale tools during diamond machining of SiCp/Al6063 composites and to develop the mechanism-based diamond wear model in relation to the dominant wear behaviors. During drilling, high volume fraction SiCp/Al6063 composites containing Cu, the dominant wear mechanisms of diamond tool involve thermodynamically activ...

A number of investigations carried out in an abrasive jet machining process having a traditional material with traditional nozzle. In some publication are focusing on water jet cutting machining and some are focusing on sand bond grinding , some work are wear behavior of nozzle and some are on performance of material in water jet machining. The present research work give an analysis of performa...
