In the present research work, effect of several process parameters on the machining characteristics of borosilicate glass has been reported. The machining characteristics that are being investigated are material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). Four different process parameters were considered for this study power rating of the machine, static load, slurry concentration and abrasive...

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is one of the non conventional machining process for difficult to cut brittle, hard and thin materials. The process parameters which are mainly influence the quality of machining in AWJM are water pressure, stand-off distance, nozzle diameter, traverse speed, abrasive flow rate and abrasive size. This is an environment friendly and relatively inexpensive proc...

Abrasive water jet machine (AWJM) is a mechanical base non-conventional machining process. This is process of removal of materials by impact erosion of high pressure (1500-4000 bar), high velocity of water and entrained high velocity of grit abrasives on a work piece. Experimental investigations were conducted to assess the influence of abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) process parameters on ...

This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of optimizing multiple characteristics of electrical discharge machining (EDM) of Inconel 718 using copper electrodes having different shapes via Taguchi method-based Grey analysis. The modified algorithm adopted here is used successfully for both detraining the optimum settings of machining parameters and for combining multiple quality characteristic i...

Ti6Al4V alloy is highly used in the automotive and aerospace industry due to its good machining characteristics. Micro EDM drilling is commonly used to drill micro hole on extremely hard material with very high depth to diameter ratio. In this study, the parameters of micro-electrical discharge machining (EDM) in drilling of Ti6Al4V alloy is optimized for higher machining accuracy with less hol...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a method to cut conductive materials with a thin electrode that follows a programmed path. The electrode is a thin wire. Typical diameters range from .004" .012" (.10mm .30mm) although smaller and larger diameters are available. WEDM is a thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with varying hardness or complex shapes. WEDM pr...

The e-glass fibre epoxy composite is a nonconductive ceramic material hence it is difficult to machine by any well known non-conventional machining methods like electrical discharge machining, wire electrical discharge machining etc. This material can be machined with conventional machining but compromise with accuracy, surface texture even not possible to micro slicing etc. Keeping in view, a ...

The paper presents an experimental study of roughness characteristics of surface profile generated in CNC turning of AISI 1040 mild steel and optimization of machining parameters based on genetic algorithm. The three level rotatable central composite designs are employed for developing mathematical models for predicting surface roughness parameters. Response surface methodology is applied succe...

Machining can be outlined as the process of taking away material from a work piece in the grade of chips. During a machining process, isolated of the energy is turned into heat energy through the detritions yielded between the tool and the work piece and the plastic deformation of the work material in the machining zone. Turning is charmed by several constituents, for example, the cutting speed...
