I Increased workpiece hardness : decreased economic cuttingspeed. Hence, lower productivity.
I Rapid improvements in the properties of materials (hardness,strength, etc)
I Requires much superior quality of tool materials.
I Tool material hardness should be greater than workpiecehardness.

Mechanical Machining
I Abrasive Jet Machining, Ultrasonic Machining (USM) andWaterjet Machining (WJM) are typical examples of singleaction, mechanical non traditional machining processes.
I The machining medium is solid grains suspended in anabrasive slurry in the former, while a fluid is employed in theWJM process.

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM)
I In AJM, the material removal takes place due to impingementof the fine abrasive particles.
I The abrasive particles are typically of 0.025mm diameter andthe air discharges at a pressure of several atmosphere.
![Page 17: Non-Traditional Machining Processeshome.iitk.ac.in/~jrkumar/download/Lecture-3.pdf · Non-Traditional Machining Processes Prof. J. Ramkumar Department of Mechanical Engineering IIT](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051320/5a70a7fb7f8b9aa2538c45a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Mechanics of AJM
I Abrasive particle impinges on the work surface at a highvelocity and this impact causes a tiny brittle fracture and thefollowing air or gas carries away the dislodged small workpiece particle.
![Page 18: Non-Traditional Machining Processeshome.iitk.ac.in/~jrkumar/download/Lecture-3.pdf · Non-Traditional Machining Processes Prof. J. Ramkumar Department of Mechanical Engineering IIT](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051320/5a70a7fb7f8b9aa2538c45a4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mechanics of AJM
I Flaring of the Jet:- Cavity dimension changes with a changein NTD.
I Abrasive particles repeatedly hit on the work surface.
I Brittle fracture separates out tiny particles (wear particles) toproduce a cavity. Cavity width greater than or equal to Nozzleinner diam. (Depends on NTD).
I Cavity depth depends on work piece feed rate, abrasiveparticle mass (or density) and pressure (or velocity of the jet).
I Stray Cutting: Due to increase in NTD the jet diameter goeson increasing.
I Flaring of Jet: The worn out nozzle increases the exitdiameter (internal).

Parametric Analysis in AJM
I Effect of Nozzle Tip Distance (NTD) on cavity diameter

Parametric Analysis in AJM
I Effect of Nozzle Tip Distance (NTD) on MRR
I The NTD not only affects the MRR from the work surface butalso the shape and size of the cavity produced.
I when the NTD increases, the velocity of the abrasive particlesimpinging on the work surface increases due to theiracceleration after they leave the nozzle. This increases theMRR. With a further increase in the NTD, the velocityreduces due to the drag of the atmosphere which initiallychecks the increase in MRR and then decreases it.

Parametric Analysis in AJM
I Effect of Abrasive flow rate on MRR
I As the flow rate increases upto maxima, More number ofabrasive particles hit the surface. this increases the MRR.
I If flow rate is greater than the optimum, velocity of the jetdecreases hence MRR also decreases.

I The basic USM process involves a tool vibrating with a lowamplitude and very high frequency and a continuous flow ofan abrasive slurry in the small gap between tool & work piece.
I The tool is gradually fed with a uniform force.
I The impact of the hard abrasive grains fractures the hard andbrittle work surface, resulting in the removal of the workmaterial in the form of small wear particles.
I The tool material being tough and ductile wears out at a
much slower rate

(59)
I A shortcoming of the transistor-based EDM generator is thelimit to deliver very low discharge energy for finishing EDM togenerate fine surface finish or micro features due to the costand performance of high frequency MOSFET transistor. RCgenerators could be more cost-effective in finishing EDMapplications. Some EDM machines incorporate both thetransistor generator for roughing EDM and RC generator forfinishing EDM.

H ∝ h
fc(60)
The volume of the material removed (∝ h3) per discharge willbe proportional to the energy delivered during sparking(= Cu2e/2). Hence,

I The process is actually the reverse of electroplating with somemodifications.
I It is based on the principle of electrolysis.
I In a metal, electricity is conducted by free electrons but in asolution the conduction of electricity is achieved through themovement of ions.
I Thus the flow of current through an electrolyte is alwaysaccompanied by the movement of matter.
I In the ECM process the work-piece is connected to a positiveelectrode and the tool to the negative terminal for metalremoval.

I Lasing process describes the basic operation of laser, i.e.generation of coherent (both temporal and spatial) beam oflight by ”light amplification” using ”stimulated emission”.

Principle of LASERI The electrons at ground state can be excited to higher state
of energy by absorbing energy form external sources likeincrease in electronic vibration at elevated temperature,through chemical reaction as well as via absorbing energy ofthe photon.
I The electron moves from a lower energy level to a higherenergy level.
I On reaching the higher energy level, the electron reaches anunstable energy band. And it comes back to its ground statewithin a very small time by releasing a photon. This is calledspontaneous emission.

Power Density and MRR in LBMI The input and focus of LBM are converted to thermal energy
to vaporize the work piece material. The size of the spotdiameter ds is determined by
ds = Flθ (73)
I where Fl is the focal length of lens and θ is the beamdivergence angle (rad).The area of the laser beam at focalpoint, As , is
As =π
4(Flθ)2 (74)

Power Density and MRR in LBM
I The power of the laser beam, Lp, is given by
Lp = Es/∆t (75)
I where Es is the laser energy (in the unit of J) and ∆t is thepulse duration of the laser.
I The power density of the laser beam, Pd (in the unit ofW/mm2), is given by
Pd =LpAs
=4Lp

Power Density and MRR in LBM
I The drilling feed rate f (in the unit of mm/s) can be describedas follows:
f =ClLpEvAs
=ClPd
Ev(77)
I where the conversion efficiency Cl is a constant depending onthe material and conversion efficiency and Ev is vaporizationenergy of the work piece material (J/mm3).
I The MRR can be calculated as follows:
MRR = fAs =ClLpEv
