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 purpose of cutting fluid in a machining operation is to cool the workpiece, reduce friction, and wash away the chips. The cutting fluid contributes significantly toward machining cost and also possesses environmental threats. In the past, there have been some attempts to minimize the amount of cutting fluid in machining. This chapter reviews some prominent ways to minimize the application o...

This paper introduces machining of optics, presenting some of the history of machining progress, critical machining variables, material and geometrical capabilities, and some new results on optical evaluation of machined surfaces. A most significant development is electroplating of materials that are otherwise not presently machinable. For example, molybdenum has been electroplated with silver ...

Understanding interaction between the cutting tool edge radius and work material is essential to identify conditions leading superior surface finish during micromachining process. The friction angle effective rake has been investigated based on a slip-line field-based machining model from literature. Machining forces cut chip thickness values were obtained orthogonal tests employed in process m...

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...

Condition monitoring and diagnosis systems capable of identifying machining system defects and tiieir location are essential for unmanned machining Unattended (or minimally manned) machining would result in increased capital equipment utilization, thus substantially reducing the manufacturing costs. A review of tool monitoring systems and techniques and their components and the Multiple Princip...

Machining parameter selection and tolerance specification for raw materials, machine tools and fixtures directly affect product geometric quality and system productivity. However, there currently exists no integrated method for analyzing these variables for machining systems. This paper presents a methodology for simultaneously selecting optimal machining process parameters and tolerance specif...

In this paper error sources existing in the on-line inspection system for numerical control machines are analyzed. A mathematical model of the geometric errors of a three-axis machining center is created and the pretravel variations are obtained in different directions. Then an error compensation is applied to improve the accuracy of the on-line inspection system. A methodology of spatial stati...

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the EDM parameters to get the better surface finish on the Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V. The continuous advancement of the alloy is fulfilling the demand of the industry but for advance material like Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V partially adopted by industries cause of the difficulties in machining. Non Conventional machining process like Spark Erosion Electrical ...
