Category: Unconventional Machining Processes

In this process, material removal takes place due to tiny brittle fracture of metallic layer with high velocity impact of abrasive particles. Therefore, this method of machining is more suitable for brittle materials. A high velocity jet of dry air, CO2 or nitrogen gas containing abrasive particles strikes the workpiece at the point where cutting or…

Unconventional machining (UCM) process is completely non-mechanical. In this process, there is no chip formation. Melting and evaporation of unwanted metal or removal of the metal in the form of powder due to brittle fracture of the metallic layers performs machining operation. These processes are used for machining of difficult profile and for very hard…

The main characteristics of UCM can be summarized as follows:
