Recent Developments in Abrasive Hybrid Manufacturing Processes

Abstract

Recent dynamic development of abrasive hybrid manufacturing processes results from application of a new difficult for machining materials and improvement of technological indicators of manufacturing processes already applied in practice. This tendency also occurs in abrasive machining processes which are often supported by ultrasonic vibrations, electrochemical dissolution or by electrical discharges. In the paper we present the review of new results of investigations and new practical applications of Abrasive Electrodischarge (AEDM) and Electrochemical (AECM) Machining.

Optimization of Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) Process Parameters for AISI 1045 Medium Carbon Steel Using Taguchi Design of Experiments

“…The WEDM process extracts particles from the surface through thermal erosion [ 3 ]. In order to use WEDM, the workpiece and tool must be electrically conductive [ 4 , 5 ]. The wire acts as a cathode, and the work material acts as an anode.…”

Advanced Electric Discharge Machining of Stainless Steels: Assessment of the State of the Art, Gaps and Future Prospect

“…In recent years, the rapidly rising demand for materials with special characteristics in such advanced industrial applications as aerospace and surgical instruments, has led to the development of new materials. However, these materials are mostly difficult-to-cut using more conventional manufacturing processes [1,2,3,4,5] and this pushes manufacturers to explore new machining processes which maintain or even improve precision but at reasonable cost.…”

Performance of a new hybrid cutting-abrasive tool for the machining of fibre reinforced polymer composites

“…10c. This is not uncommon when machining CFRP using either a conventional cutting edge or abrasive grits and is attributed to the abrasive properties of carbon fibre reinforcement as observed by Ruszaj et al [17]. Additionally, matrix resin melt and cut fibres were observed on abrasive surfaces; see Fig.…”
