INTRODUCTION Ultra precision single point diamond turning is a very promising tool based manufacturing technology because of its reliability, productivity and wide range of applications. However, with the reduction in cutting dimensions compared to traditional precision machining, the process physics differs substantially. This is largely because of size effects and increased surface finish exp...

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is the process of machining electrically conductive materials by using precisely controlled sparks that occur between an electrode and the work piece in the presence of a dielectric fluid. Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites (AMMC’s) are new generation engineering materials that possess superior physical and mechanical properties compared to non-reinforced all...

Existing manufacturing industries are fronting challenges from these advanced nasent materials viz. nano material ,ceramics, super alloys, and metal matrix composites, that are hard and difficult to machine, requiring high accuracy, surface quality excellence which affects and increases machining cost. To meet these tasks, unconventional machining processes are being used to achieve optimum met...

The manufacturing technology of milling, drilling and turning tools have demands of new developing markets as well as quality and lifetime aspects of the machining. In order to achieve the high precision required by machining, the structure and form of the cutting edge of the tools must be investigated to provide the most influential properties. Correlation between the tool wear on the cutting ...
