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

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.

NC Machining is a process used in the manufacturing sector that involves the use of computers to control machine tools. Tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders. The CNC in CNC Machining stands for Computer Numerical Control. On the surface, it may look like a normal PC controls the machines, but the computer's unique software and control console are what really sets the system apart for use in CNC machining. Under CNC Machining, machine tools function through numerical control. A computer program is customized for an object and the machines are programmed with CNC machining language (called G-code) that essentially controls all features like feed rate, coordination, location
Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) is the removal of material from a work piece by the application of a high speed stream of abrasive particles carried in gas medium from a nozzle. The AJM process is different from conventional sand blasting by the way that the abrasive is much finer and the process parameters and cutting action are both carefully regulated. The process is used chiefly to cut intricate shapes in hard and brittle materials which are sensitive to heat and have a tendency to chip easily. The process is also used for drilling, de-burring and cleaning operations. AJM is fundamentally free from chatter and vibration problems due to absence of physical tool. The cutting action is cool because the carrier gas itself serves as a coolant and takes away the heat.
Today I will be talking about the research I did on quick change methodology. This is a very fascinating and important topic for the machining process in all plants across the world. The topics that will be covered in this paper are as follows defining quick change methodology and tooling for machining with an overview history and recent advancements, SMED overview history and recent advancements, then a compare and contrast of quick change methodology and SMED, and to wrap up the paper I will illustrate how I can use this information to improve a manufacturing process I am familiar with. These were great research topics and I learned a ton of great valuable information that would be very useful in future endeavors.
