Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a machining process in which electrochemical process is used to remove materials from the workpiece. In the process, workpiece is taken as anode and tool is taken as cathode. The two electrodes workpiece and tool is immersed in an electrolyte (such as NaCl). When the voltage is applied across the two […]
Ultrasonic Machining (USM) also called as ultrasonic vibration machining is a machining process in which material is removed from the surface of a part by low amplitude and high frequency vibration of a tool against surface of material in the presence of abrasive particles. The motion of the tool takes place vertically or orthogonal to
Laser Beam Machining (LBM) is a form of machining process in which laser beam is used for the machining of metallic and non-metallic materials. In this process, a laser beam of high energy is made to strike on the workpiece, the thermal energy of the laser gets transferred to the surface of the w/p (workpiece).

What is EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)? Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non traditional machining and electro thermal process in which material from the workpiece is removed by using electrical discharges (sparks). It was first observed in 1770 by Joseph Priestley. He was an English physicist. In an EDM machine, the material is removed by

Electron Beam Machining is a process in which high-velocity electrons are concentrated in a narrow beam and then directed towards the workpiece for machining. When this high-velocity electron strikes the workpiece, it melts and vaporizes the material from the workpiece. Working Principle of Electron Beam Machining In an electron beam machining, the electrons strike the
Definition of CNC Machine Let me first introduce you about what is CNC machine, so CNC stands for Computer Numerical Control. When computers are used to control a Numerical Control (NC) machine tool than the machine is called CNC machine. In other words, the use of computers to control machine tools like lathe, mills, slotter,
