The requirements that lead to the development
of nontraditional machining
• Very high hardness and strength of the material. (above 400 HB.)
• The work piee is too fle!ible or slender to s"pport the "tting orgrinding fores.
• The shape of the part is omple!# s"h as internal and e!ternal
profiles# or small diameter holes.
• $"rfae finish or tolerane better than those obtainable onventional
proess.
• Temperat"re rise or resid"al stress in the work piee are "ndesirable.

Conventional Machining VS
NonConventional Machining
• The "tting tool and workpiee are always in physial ontat# with arelative motion against eah other# whih res"lts in frition and asignifiant tool wear .
• %n non&traditional proesses# there is no physial ontat between thetool and workpiee. 'ltho"gh in some non&traditional proesses toolwear e!ists# it rarely is a signifiant problem.
• aterial removal rate of the traditional proesses is limited by the
mehanial properties of the work material. on&traditional proesseseasily deal with s"h diffi"lt&to&"t materials like eramis anderami based tool materials# fiber reinfored materials# arbides#titani"m&based alloys.

• %n traditional proesses# the relative motion between the tool and workpiee is typially rotary or reiproating. Th"s# the shape of the works"rfaes is limited to ir"lar or flat shapes. %n spite of widely "sed **systems# mahining of three&dimensional s"rfaes is still a diffi"lt task.ost non&traditional proesses were develop +"st to solve this problem.
• ahining of small avities# slits# blind or thro"gh holes is diffi"lt withtraditional proesses# whereas it is a simple work for some non&traditional proesses.
• Traditional proesses are well established# "se relatively simple andine!pensive mahinery and readily available "tting tools. on&traditional proesses re,"ire e!pensive e,"ipment and tooling as wellas skilled labor# whih inreases signifiantly the prod"tion ost.
