26 NONTRADITIONAL MACHINING AND THERMAL
CUTTING PROCESSES
Review Questions
26.1 Why are the nontraditional material removal processes important? Answer. Reasons for importance of are nontraditional material removal processes (1) the need to shape new metal alloys and non-metals that are difficult to machine by conventional processes; (2) the requirement of unusual and complex workpart geometries; and (3) the need to avoid surface damage which is often associated with conventional machining. 26.2 There are four categories of nontraditional machining processes, based on principal energy form. Name the four categories. Answer. The four categories …show more content…

Answer: The three layers are the following: (1) Spheres attached to the surface made of part material and electrode material that have spattered the surface. This layer is easily removed. (2) Recast or white layer where EDM has altered the workpiece metallurgical structure. It can be reduced by specifying the proper settings and removed by polishing. (3) Heat affected zone or annealed layer. It has only been heated, not melted. 26.16 26.17 (Video) What are two other names for ram type EDMs? Answer: A ram type EDM machines is also called a die sinker and a vertical EDM machine. (Video) Name the four subsystems in a RAM EDM process. Answer: The four subsystems in a RAM EDM process are (1) power supply, (2) dielectric system, (3) electrode, and (4) servo system. 26.18 (Video) Name the four subsystems in a wire EDM process. Answer: The four subsystems in a wire EDM process are (1) power supply, (2) dielectric system, (3) wire feeding system, and (4) positioning system.
