Advanced Manufacturing Process - Important Questions & Answers

1. What is Advanced Manufacturing Process (AMP)?

AMP involves the use of innovative or non-traditional machining techniques such as EDM, ECM,

USM, LBM, etc., for improved quality, precision, and efficiency in manufacturing.

2. Differences Between Traditional and Non-Traditional Machining

Traditional Machining:

- Uses mechanical cutting tools

- Tool wear occurs

- Suitable for common metals

- Examples: Lathe, Milling, Drilling

Non-Traditional Machining:

- Uses electrical, chemical, or thermal energy

- Minimal or no tool wear

- Ideal for hard, brittle, or complex materials

- Examples: EDM, ECM, LBM, USM

3. Explain the Principle of EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining)

EDM uses electrical sparks generated between the tool and workpiece (both conductive) in a

dielectric fluid to remove material through spark erosion.

4. Applications of Laser Beam Machining (LBM)

- Micro-drilling in hard materials

- Precise cutting of metals and plastics

- Surface treatment

- Engraving and medical tools fabrication

5. What is Ultrasonic Machining (USM)?


A process where high-frequency vibrations (20-40 kHz) are used with an abrasive slurry to machine

brittle materials like glass, ceramics, and quartz.

6. Advantages & Disadvantages of EDM

Advantages:

- Machines very hard materials

- Can create complex shapes

- No contact between tool and workpiece

Disadvantages:

- Slow process

- High energy consumption

- Limited to conductive materials

7. What is Electrochemical Machining (ECM)?

A non-traditional process that removes metal via anodic dissolution using a DC power supply and

electrolyte. No tool wear, and suitable for hard conductive materials.

8. EDM vs ECM

EDM:

- Spark erosion

- Tool wear present

- Conductive materials only

- Good surface finish

ECM:

- Electrochemical reaction

- No tool wear

- Conductive materials only


- Excellent surface finish

9. Role of Dielectric Fluid in EDM

- Acts as an insulator

- Cools the work zone

- Removes debris after spark erosion

10. List of Non-Traditional Machining Processes

- Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM)

- Electrochemical Machining (ECM)

- Ultrasonic Machining (USM)

- Laser Beam Machining (LBM)

- Electron Beam Machining (EBM)

- Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM)

- Water Jet Machining (WJM)
