Lecture

Unconventional Manufacturing Methods: Grinding, EDM, Waterjet Cutting

Description

This lecture covers unconventional manufacturing methods such as grinding, electro-discharge machining (EDM), and waterjet cutting. It delves into the working principles, materials used, specific removal energy, examples, and related processes like lapping and chemical mechanical polishing. The instructor discusses the modeling of these processes at the grain scale, internal stress during grinding, and the comparison between grinding and milling. Additionally, the lecture explores ultrasonic machining, its applications, and variations. It concludes with a focus on EDM, including basic principles, material removal rates, and the pros and cons of the process.
