3. Electro Chemical Honing (ECH) 4. Electro Chemical Deburring (ECD) 10. What are the characteristics of uncon ventional machining process? [Anna University Dec. 2004] The characteristics of unconventional machining process are 1, The Unconventional machining processes do not employ a conventional or traditional tool for metal removal, instead, they directly utilize some form of energy for metal machinery. 2. The too! material need not be harder then the work piece material. 3. A harder and difficult to machine materials such as carbides, stainless steel, nitralloy hastalloy and many other high strength, temperature resistant alloys can be machined by unconventional machining processes. 4. The machined surface do not have any residual stresses. . Name the unconventional machining processes which are used to remot maximum material. The unconventional machining processes which are used to. removList the unique benefits offered by WJM process. [Anna University, Dec. 2004) The unique benefits offered by WJM process are 1, In WJM process, water is used as energy transfer medium. It is cheap, non- L toxic and easy to dispose. 7D Lowoperating cost. _ 3. The work area remains clean and dust free. _ 4, Low maintenance cost. 50. List the disadvantages of WJM process. The disadvantages of WJM process are 1. Initial cost of WJM process is high. 2. It is difficult to machine hard materials.2.1. ABRASIVE JET MACHINING (AJM) 2.1.1. PRINCIPLE OF AJM In abrasive jet machining process, a high speed stream of abrasive particles mixed with high pressure air or gas are injected through a nozzle on the workpiece to be machined.

Name the common dielectric fluids used in EDM. The dielectric fluids generally used are petroleum based hydrocarbon fluids, paraffin, white spirit, transformer oil, kerosene, mineral oil or mixture of these.5.2.3. PRINCIPLE OF LASER BEAM MACHINING In laser beam machining process, laser beam (a powerful, monochromatic, collimated beam of light) is focused on the workpiece by means of lens to give extremely high energy density to melt and vaporise the work material.2. Explain why EBM process is performed usuallily in a vacuum chamber, 1. To avoid collision of accelerated electrons with air molecules. 2. Protect the cathode from chemical contamination and heat losses. 3. The possibility of an arc discharge between the electrons is prevented.The two advantages of PAM are 1. Tt can be used to cut any metal, 2. Cutting rate is high. 3. As compared to ordinary flame cutting process, it can cut plain cat: steel four times faster. 49. What are the disadvantages of PAM? The disadvantages of PAM are 1. Cost of equipment is high. 2. It produces tapered surface. Work surface may undergo metallurgical changes. 3. on ae
