INTRODUCTION

• Non-traditional technologies refer to a group of processes that remove material NOT using a sharp cutting tool like in conventional machining. In contrast, non-traditional technologies use other type of energies to remove material:

IMPORTANCE OF NON-TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

• To machine newly developed difficult to cut materials: high strength, high hardness and high toughness.

• When workpiece is too flexible or slender to support conventional cutting/grinding forces.

• To machine complex part geometries which are difficult or impossible to machine by traditional methods.

• To avoid surface damage, such as stresses, created in conventional processes.

ULTRASONIC MACHINING (USM)

Dimensional tolerance: ± 0,0025mmSurface finish: Ra ~ 0,1-0,8µm

by Endika Gandarias

THERMO-ELECTRICALMECHANICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRO-CHEMICAL


12


A vibrating tool oscillates at ultrasonic frequencies (f=20-30kHz & A=15-50µm).

The tool never contacts the workpiece, and the abrasive slurry flows freely between the tool and the workpiece (20-50 µm gap).

Abrasive grains (100-800 grit size) – SiC, Al2O3, CBN, diamond Abrasive slurry – abrasive grains (20-60%) + usually water

PRO: Low HAZ. Suitable for hard and brittle non-conductive materials: ceramics, glass or carbides

(otherwise EDM or ECM is used). Holes and cavities with various shapes can be produced. Excellent surface finish.

CON: Low MRR (Material Removal Rate). Small depth of holes and cavities can be produced. Tool wear rate is fast (tool is usually softer than the

workpiece as it needs to be tough: soft steel or stainless steel).

JET MACHINING (AJM / WJM / AWJM)

WJM / AWJM:Dimensional tolerance: ± 0,025mmSurface finish: Ra ~ 1,6-6.3 µm

by Endika Gandarias


15


Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) It is an abrasive blasting machining process that uses abrasives (SiC, Al2O3 or glass bead of

Ø15-40µm) propelled by a high velocity (150-300m/s) gas (air or inert gas) to erode material from the workpiece.

It is mainly used for finishing operations: deburring, cleaning and polishing (cutting thin plates too).

PRO: Low HAZ. It can be easily automated for high production volumes. Ability to machine hard and brittle materials. Good surface finish.

CON: Low MRR. Tends to round off sharp edges

and it produces tapered cut.

Water Jet Machining (WJM)

It uses a fine, high pressure, high velocity (540-1400m/s) stream of water (~ Ø0.1-0.4mm) directed at the work surface to cause cutting of the workpiece.

Cutting of all non-metallic materials (food, composites, plastics, fabrics, rubber, wood, paper,…).

PRO: Low HAZ. It can be easily automated. Ability to machine flexible materials. Burr produced is minimum.

CON: Limited number of materials can be cut economically. It produces tapered cut. Noisy.

Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM)

The water jet contains abrasive particles (quartz sand, SiC or Al2O3 at 60-120 grit size, up to 900 m/s) to increase the material removal rate and enable cutting of thick and hard materials.

Cutting of metallic and non-metallic materials (marble, granite, stone, composites, wood, titanium alloys,…).

Same PROs and CONs as WJM.

This process is also called etching.

The metal is removed by the chemical attack of an acidic or alkaline etchant (FeCl3, H2SO4, HNO3). The portion of workpiece where no material is to be removed is masked (maskant: polymer or rubber) before chemical etching. The process is usually carried out at high temperature.

Steps: Cleaning masking etching demasking

PRO: No HAZ and no forces. It is not workpiece hardness dependent. Complicated shapes can be produced. Good surface quality. Simple to implement, low tooling and equipment cost. Suitable for low production runs. No burr formation.

CON: Very low MRR, limited to thin layers. Difficult to get sharp corners. Low dimensional accuracy.

ELECTRO-CHEMICAL MACHINING (ECM)

23


Electrochemical machining removes material from an electrically conductive workpiece by anodic dissolution. Workpiece geometry is obtained by a formed electrode tool which is in close proximity but separate.

An electrolyte acts as a current carrier, and high electrolyte movement in the tool-workpiece gap washes metal ions away from the workpiece (anode) before they are deposited on the tool (cathode).

Tool – generally made of bronze, copper, brass or stainless steel. Electrolyte – salt solutions in water. Power – DC supply 5-25V & 1000A.

PRO: High MRR No HAZ & no mechanical distortion. There is almost no tool wear. It is not workpiece hardness dependent. Complex shapes with deep cavities. Burr free surface.

CON: Workpiece electrically conductive. Expensive tooling and equipment. High power consumption.

PLASMA ARC MACHINING (PAM)

Dimensional tolerance: ± 1.3mmSurface finish: Ra ~ 0,8-6,3 µm

THERMO-ELECTRICALMECHANICAL ELECTRO-CHEMICALCHEMICAL


26

A plasma is a ionized gas typically formed when heating the gas at high temperatures (>5000ºC). Plasma state: Molecules are separated into atoms, and atoms are disaggregated into free electrons and positive atom nucleus.

It uses a high velocity jet of high temperature gas (Ar, N, H, He or mixtures of them) called plasma that melts the metal and then removes the molten material to form a kerf.

The electrode (W) and nozzle of the gun create a strong electric arc gases collide the arc and become into plasma.

It is used to cut flat metal sheets and plates and it can be used manually or by CNC.

PRO: Highest MRR among non-traditional processes. Very hard and brittle metals can be machined.

CON: Relatively large HAZ. Generally used for conductive materials (Plasma is

highly conductive). High cost equipment. Safety precautions are needed. Rough surface finish.

LASER BEAM MACHINING (LBM)


by Endika Gandarias



29


LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

It uses the light energy from a laser to remove material by vaporization and ablation. Laser beam melts the material by focusing a coherent beam of monochromatic light on the workpiece.

Energy of the coherent light is concentrated not only optically, but also in terms of time. The type of laser used in LBM is typically the CO2 gas laser.

It is used to perform cutting, drilling, slotting or scribing.

PRO: Unlimited range of materials: high hardness metals,

ceramics, glass, rubber, wood, cloth, food,… Does not require a vacuum. No tool wear. Easy to be automatized.

CON: Low MRR. HAZ exists. High reflectivity materials (mirror) may be a problem. Expensive equipment. High energy consumption. It produces tapered cut.

ELECTRON BEAM MACHINING (EBM)

37


It is a metal removal process that uses a high velocity focused stream of electrons (Ø~25µm).

Electrons are created when high voltage is applied to a Wolframium filament Accelerated by a strong electric field (200.000km/s) Focused by magnetic fields Kinetic energy of the electrons is transformed into thermal energy which melts and vaporizes the material.

Vacuum chamber is necessary to avoid electron-air molecules collisions.

It is used for drilling small holes, cutting, engraving, heat treatments, and improving surface roughness.

PRO: Works on any material. It is not workpiece hardness dependent. Very small holes and slots can be machined No tool wear.

CON: Low MRR. HAZ exists. Vacuum requirements limit part size. Expensive equipment.

This process is also called Focused Ion Beam (FIB).

A stream of charged atoms (ions) of an inert gas (Ar, He, Ga) is accelerated in a vacuum chamber by electrical means and directed toward the workpiece to remove (or add) atoms. When an atom strikes a cluster of atoms on the workpiece, it dislodges between 0.1 and 10 atoms from the workpiece material. Spot size Ø~2-20nm

Electrons are created when high voltage is applied to a Wolframium filament (high temperature) Accelerated by a strong electric field those interact with inert gas atoms to produce ions: Ar + e− → Ar+ + 2e-

It is used in micro/nanofabrication for smoothing of laser mirrors, polishing optical & shaping surfaces,…

PRO: Capable of modifying any material at

micro/nano scale.

CON: Low MRR. HAZ exists (< 1 μm). Vacuum chamber is required. High cost equipment.
