Non-Traditional machining process?
Non-Traditional
machining, also known as “non-conventional machining” or “modern machining
method”, generally refers to the machining method of removing or adding
materials with energy of Electricity, Heat energy, Light energy,
electrochemical energy, chemical energy, sound energy & special mechanical
energy, so as to realize material being removed, deformed, changing properties
or being plated.
Ø Classification of Non-Traditional machining process?
Abrasive Jet Machining:
In Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM), abrasive particles
are made to impinge on the work material at a high velocity. The jet of
abrasive particles is carried by carrier gas or air. The high velocity stream
of abrasive is generated by converting the pressure energy of the carrier gas
or air to its
kinetic energy and hence high velocity jet. The nozzle
directs the abrasive jet in a controlled manner onto the work material, so that
the distance between the nozzle and the work piece and the impingement angle
can be set desirably. The high velocity abrasive particles remove the material
by micro-cutting action as well as brittle fracture of the work material.
AJM is different from standard shot or sand blasting,
as in AJM, finer abrasive grits are used and the parameters can be controlled
more effectively providing better control over product quality. In AJM,
generally, the abrasive particles of around 50 μm grit size would impinge on
the work material at velocity of 200 m/s from a nozzle of I.D. of 0.5 mm with a
stand off distance of around 2 mm. The kinetic energy of the abrasive particles
would be sufficient to provide material removal due to brittle fracture of the work
piece or even micro cutting by the abrasives.
AJM Process Capability
• Material removal –
Typical cutting speeds vary between 25 -125 mm/min
• Dimensional Tolerances
– Typical range 2 - 5 µm
• Surface Finish –
Typical Ra values vary from 0.3 - 2.3 µm
Ultrasonic Machining (USM):
Ultrasonic machining is a non-traditional
machining process. USM is grouped under the mechanical group NTM processes. In
ultrasonic machining, a tool of desired shape vibrates at an ultrasonic
frequency (18 ~ 40 kHz) with an amplitude of around 15 – 50 μm over the
workpiece. Generally the tool is pressed downward with a feed force, F. Between
the tool and workpiece, the machining zone is flooded with hard abrasive
particles generally in the form of a water based slurry. As the tool vibrates
over the workpiece, the abrasive particles act as the indenters and indent both
the work material and the tool. The abrasive particles, as they indent, the
work material, would remove the same, particularly if the work material is
brittle, due to crack initiation, propagation and brittle fracture of the
material. Hence, USM is mainly used for machining brittle materials {which are
poor conductors of electricity and thus cannot be processed by Electrochemical
and Electro-discharge machining (ECM and ED)}.

My hopes are to secure a challenging role to help students.During my degree, I have developed an excellent eye for detail, due to the heavy demands of assignments and research. As a result, I am also able to work under pressure.
I'll try to make you an ‘extremely driven strategic thinker with excellent skills and extensive experience.
