AMP
Therefore
some specific time or cost saving machining processes. Eg:- plastic when compared to any metal.
2) When hardness of workpiece increases than tool material.
3) Higher accuracy or tolerances.
4) Complex shapes of product requires AMPs.
5) For better surface finish (even upto nano level).
6) Less defects eg:- no microcracks, less HAZ etc.
7) Higher production rates and low costs of machining, difficult to machine materials.
Limitations of AMPs:1)
2)
3)
4)
Expensive
Require skilled labour.
They do have high accuracy but they operate slowly. That leads to lower production rates.
Also as material hardness increases the cutting time decreases, which also leads to lower
production rates.
5) Maximum time these AMPs are used for specific metals/non-metals, alloys or superalloys only
and they cant be used to machine other materials.
6) As workpiece hardness increases these AMPs require much superior quality of tool material.
Characteristics of Conventional machining processes:1. There is a macroscopic chip. In conventional machining processes, there is a macroscopic chip
formation.
2. The chip formation takes place due to shear deformation.
3. There is a requirement of the cutting tool and the cutting tool needs to be harden than the work
piece.
4. Material removal takes place because of application of the cutting force. The force is being
imparted on the tool because of the cutting process and the energy domain of conventional
machining process is mechanical in nature.
5. Lower dimensional accuracy is obtained as there is high surface roughness value associated with
conventional machining processes.
