Economics of Machining | Machine Tools | Industrial Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the economics of machining. It is not sufficient to devise a feasible procedure for a desired component or commodity. The procedure must be economically justified. The variables affecting the economics of a machining operation are numerous which include the tool material, machine tool capacity and the cutting conditions. As these variables are readily [...]

Wire-Cut EDM: Meaning and Features | Methods | Machining | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Wire-Cut EDM 2. Features of Wire-Cut EDM 3. Spark Machining. Meaning of Wire-Cut EDM: The wire-cut EDM uses a very thin wire 0.02 to 0.3 mm in diameter as an electrode and machines a workpiece with electrical discharge like a bandsaw by moving either the workpiece or wire. Erosion of [...]

Structure of ECM Machine | Machining | Industrial Engineering

The typical ECM machine consists of a table for mounting the workpiece. The tool is mounted on a quill fixed on a ram. Vertical box frame structure has excellent rigidity required and is best suited for precision work. Vertical C-frame structure has less rigidity but offers greater accessibility to the workpiece and tooling. The machine base, worktable and all other [...]

Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) | Methods | Machining | Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the meaning and characteristics of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM) in industries. Meaning of Plasma Arc Machining (PAM): When a flowing gas is heated to a sufficiently high temperature of the order of 16,500°C to become partially ionised, it is known as 'plasma'. In this process heat for machining is produced by convection from [...]

Process of Electrochemical Wire Cutting (ECWC) | Industries | Metallurgy

Electrochemical wire cutting process for removal of metal using a wire tool as cathode and workpiece as anode. The workpiece can be shaped by relative movement between it and the wire. The process is similar to wire discharge machining. This process is found to be best suited for cutting in one or two directions and fine drilling. Rectangular wire appears [...]
