The operating control parameters of injection flushing type of electrical discharge machining process on stainless steel 304 workpiece with copper tools are being optimized according to its individual machining characteristic i.e. material removal rate (MRR). Lower MRR during EDM machining process may decrease its’ machining productivity. Hence, the quality characteristic for MRR is set to high...

machining operation is one of the most applicable processes for the manufacturing of industrial parts. usually, the quality of finished part in turning operation is measured in terms of surface roughness. in turn, surface quality is determined by machining parameters and tool geometry specifications. the main objective of this study is to model and optimize machining parameters and tool geometr...

ABSRACT High speed machining is a relatively new production technology that allows higher productivity, excellent surface finish and good dimensional accuracy in the manufacturing process. Therefore these technologies have considerable advantages over traditional machining technologies. Instead of conventional machining chain that consists of roughing in soft state + semi fininshing + hardening...

machines using ball end mill cutters; the determination of the optimum tool and the minimization of the machining times for each surface. In the proposed methodology, the accessibility problem is first analyzed and then the optimal tool is selected from a database of tools. Next, and depending on the machining method, we select automatically the optimum sweeping method and the associated machin...

A machining operation is basically termed a material removal process, where material is removed in the form of chips. In a machining operation, the output parameter is achieved by controlling various input parameters. This paper discusses the effects of various input parameters in abrasive Jet machining (AJM) on the output parameter(Metal Removal Rate [MRR).This paper presents an extensive revi...

This research proposes an optimized magnetic abrasive machining process that uses an ultra-high-speed system to perform precision machining on a workpiece. The system can process several microns of material, either for machining surface roughness or for machining a workpiece for a precise micro-diameter. The stainless steel workpieces have been machined using an ultra-high-speed magnetic abrasi...

One of the major difficulties in extracting machining features is the lack of a systematic methodology to generate alternative ways of manufacturing a machined part. Most of the early research in feature extraction and process planning has not considered this aspect, and has focused on the generation of a single interpretation. In this paper, we propose a featurebased approach to generating alt...

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 ...
