Water Jet Machining – Working Principle, Advantages and Disadvantages with Application

Water Jet Machining (WJM) also called water jet cutting, is a non-traditional machining process in which high-velocity jet of water is used to remove materials from the surface of the workpiece. WJM can be used to cut softer materials like plastic, rubber or wood. In order to cut harder materials like metals or granite, an […]

Electrochemical Machining (ECM) – Working Principle, Equipment, Advantages and Disadvantages with Application

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a machining process in which electrochemical process is used to remove materials from the workpiece. In the process, workpiece is taken as anode and tool is taken as cathode. The two electrodes workpiece and tool is immersed in an electrolyte (such as NaCl). When the voltage is applied across the two

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): An In-Depth Guide

Leave a Comment / Machining Process, Manufacturing Process / Pankaj Mishra

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), often referred to as spark machining or spark erosion, is a revolutionary manufacturing technique that has transformed the way industries approach precision machining. Unlike conventional methods that rely on mechanical force to cut materials, EDM employs controlled electrical discharges to erode material from a workpiece. This non-contact machining process excels in
