. These processes are essential for machining extremely hard or brittle materials and complex geometries where traditional tools fail. Impro Precision 1. Introduction & Overview Definition
Combining two processes (e.g., Laser-Assisted EDM or Ultrasonic-Assisted Drilling) to double material removal rates while improving accuracy.
Which deliverable do you want?
These processes use kinetic energy or mechanical erosion to micro-chip materials away.
The updated presentation on Non-Conventional Machining Processes demonstrates a solid effort to modernize the content. The inclusion of recent advancements (e.g., Hybrid machining, EDM with AI integration, Water Jet Guiding Laser) is a strong plus. However, the slide density and lack of comparative data visuals slightly hinder the learning flow. non conventional machining process ppt updated
Blind cavities, die-sinking, and mold-making in hardened steels. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM)
Uses a highly focused, coherent monochromatic light beam to melt and vaporize material. Modern setups utilize fiber lasers or CO2 lasers.

These processes melt, vaporize, or fuse material using extreme localized heat.
: Uses a concentrated light beam for high-speed, contactless cutting and drilling. 4. Comparative Analysis Conventional Machining Non-Conventional Machining Tool Material Must be harder than workpiece Physical hardness is often irrelevant Contact Direct physical contact No direct tool-workpiece contact Tool Wear High due to friction Minimal to zero mechanical wear Precision Limited by tool size/deflection Extremely high (micron level) 5. Industrial Applications (2026 Trends) Aerospace : Creating cooling holes in turbine blades. They are used for hard
Non-conventional (or unconventional) machining processes remove material by methods other than traditional mechanical cutting (tool with a clear single-point or multipoint edge). They are used for hard, brittle, heat-sensitive, or complex-shaped materials where conventional machining fails or is inefficient.
(Pressure specs, nozzle dynamics, benefits of cold cutting).
Die sinking, mold making, drilling small holes.
: High-speed micro-drilling and cutting without any physical tool wear. Chemical & Electrochemical Processes Electrochemical Machining (ECM)
Inability to produce intricate, micro-sized holes or complex internal cavities.
