Among all non-conventional micro-machining, electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is having high quality of material removal rate with zero residual stress. This machining has been accepted as a highly modern technology in micromachining. In this paper an effort has been done on micro drilling of glass using electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM). A fixed tool and a step down transform...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have been increasingly used in industries, nuclear plant, and automobiles due to their superior properties compared other alloys, that is owing the tough abrasive hard reinforced particles. It’s complicated machine materials by traditional processes methods, therefore The present study focused on investigation of parameters electrochemical machining (ECM) like ele...

Electrochemical micromachining (ECMM) is a non-conventional manufacturing method suitable for the production of microsized components on a wide range of conductive materials. ECMM improves dimensional accuracy and simplifies tool design for machining hard, high strength, heat resistant, and conductive materials into complex shapes. Extremely small interelectrode gaps of the order of few microns...

Although intelligent machine learning techniques have been used for input-output modeling of many different manufacturing processes, these techniques map directly from the input process parameters to the outputs and do not take into consideration any partial knowledge available about the mechanisms and physics of the process. In this paper, a new approach is presented for taking advantage of th...

Large size TiAl alloy blade is one of the important parts to reduce weight advanced aero-engines. However, precision manufacturing such blades a challenge due their large size, low ductility at room temperature, and high hardness alloy. Electrochemical machining (ECM) very promising method for blades, considering its unique advantages. In this study, comprehensive multi-physical field coupling ...

Advanced ceramic materials are gradually becoming very important for their superior properties such as high hardness, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and high strength to weight ratio. But machining of advanced ceramic like Al2O3-ceramics is very difficult by any well known and common machining processes. Normally, cleavages and triangular fractures generate when machining of these materi...

Nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol) is an excellent shape memory (SMA) for microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) particularly in biomedical applications owing to its three features effect (SME), superelasticity, and biocompatibility. The temperature-dependent material transformation properties of Nitinol SMAs make conventional machining difficult. Micro-ECM, a non-conventional process conductive m...
