The e-glass fibre epoxy composite is a nonconductive ceramic material hence it is difficult to machine by any well known non-conventional machining methods like electrical discharge machining, wire electrical discharge machining etc. This material can be machined with conventional machining but compromise with accuracy, surface texture even not possible to micro slicing etc. Keeping in view, a ...

in the present study, five modeling approaches of ra, mlp, mnn, gff, and canfis were applied so as to estimate the radial overcut values in electrochemical drilling process. for these models, four input variables, namely electrolyte concentration, voltage, initial machining gap, and tool feed rate, were selected. the developed models were evaluated in terms of their prediction capability with m...

Some conventional machining methods have been developed to machine microelectrodes. However, these methods still require too much time and too many resources. This paper uses electrochemical etching as an alternative method for the simple and cheap fabrication of microelectrodes. Electrochemical etching is usually considered an appropriate method of producing sharp probes. However, it is possib...

A novel method for fabricating an adhesive resistance surface is presented. Sandblasting and electrochemical machining were introduced to prepare micro-nano structures on the sample surface. Then, the prepared sample was immersed in a tridecafluoroctyltriethoxysilane ethanol solvent. The surface of the aluminum alloy sample roughened and covered with low-surface-energy chemical groups was exami...

The solution to free boundary problems arising from electrochemical machining processes is considered. A mathematical description of the machining process is presented with particular consideration given to its electrochemical properties and to the appropriateness of its treatment as a potential problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. A number of different machining configurations are consi...

Coated tools have improved the performance of both traditional and nontraditional machining processes and have resulted in higher material removal, better surface finish, and increased wear resistance. However, a study on the performance of coated tools in micromachining has not yet been adequately conducted. One possible reason is the difficulties associated with the preparation of coated micr...

In this paper, a thorough review has been presented on the latest research work carried out for the enhancement of machining performance of one of the most commonly used superalloys that is, Inconel 718. The thermal energy has been frequently utilized for improving machinability characteristics of Inconel 718. The review of available literature indicates that plasma, laser, and electric dischar...
