The former is a precise and efficient non-conventional manufacturing solution in various industrial applications, mostly involving the use of hard-to-machine materials such as, among others, the Inconel super alloys. The present study focuses on exploring the effect of selected control parameters, including pulse duration, pulse-off time and ...



Non-conventional machine that is WEDM is used where the material being machined is subjected to just one requirement, namely that it have some electrical conductivity. Even though nickel is the primary component of superalloys, WEDM machining yields quite different results on it. An extensive study done by Ales et al. [7] The machinability of ...



Ultrasonic machining is also a mechanical energy based non-conventional machining process that is used to machine brittle and hard materials. In ultrasonic machining, ultrasonic waves are converted into mechanical vibrations, through the magnetostrictive effect. The ultrasonic machine generates a frequency of 20000 to 30000 Hz.









Non-conventional machining Non-traditional Machining or Advanced Machining or Nonconventional machining such as WJC, AWJC,EDM, USM, LBM, etc. It is defined as a group of processes that ... machines a cavity identical to tool cross section. USM is best suited for hard, brittle materials, such as ceramics, carbides, glass, precious stones, and ...



1.3 Differences between Conventional and Non-Conventional machining processes Sl No. Conventional Process Non-Conventional Process 1. The cutting tool and work piece are always in physical contact with relative motion with each other, which results in friction and tool wear There is no physical contact between the tool



These high-strength and difficult-to-machine materials are processed using a variety of non-conventional machining (NCM) processes to produce the desired forms with required dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The NCM processes are costly and consume a lot of electricity, thus, choosing the best NCM process is critical for cost-effective ...



Need for Non-Traditional Machining Process. In the aerospace industry, the demand for high strength at elevated temperatures while maintaining lightweight characteristics has led to developing and utilising hard titanium alloys, nimonic alloys, and other high-strength temperature-resistant (HSTR) alloys. Cutting tools with hardness levels between 80 to 85 HRC, which were …







Machining is a subtractive manufacturing process that involves the use of cutting tools, discs, abrasive wheels, and more to remove excess material from a workpiece. Furthermore, this process is used to remove unwanted materials to achieve the desired product shape. Stock mills like flats and bars and welded or …







Ans. Non-conventional machining processes offer several advantages, including: - Ability to machine complex shapes and profiles that are difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional methods. - Minimal residual stresses and heat-affected zones, making it suitable for delicate or heat-sensitive materials.



To this end, emerging non-conventional machines such as flux modulation machines (FMMs), which are new and emerging, are currently being investigated for variable-speed wind generator concepts. Their operation is based on the principle of modulated armature static fields that could be paired along with those produced by the field source thanks





This paper is used to provide an overview on alternative and viable non-conventional wind generators based on the so-called non-PM (wound-field) stator-mounted flux modulation machines, with prospects for competing with PM machine variants currently being used in the niche direct-drive wind power generation industry.
