ME863PE: UNCONVENTIONAL MACHINING PROCESSES

B.Tech IV Year II Semester (R16)

Overview

Course Overview: The objective of this course is to introduce the student to mole advanced topics in the machining processes. The concept of material removal by an edged tool, involving plastic deformation and formation of chips, has been known to man for several hundred years. In recent years on increasing demand for the machining of components of complex shape made hard, difficult - to - machine materials with exacting tolerances ad surface finish has resulted in the development of a number of new machining processes.

Course Objectives:

  • 1. To teach the modeling technique for machining processes
  • 2. To teach interpretation of data for process selection
  • 3. To teach the mechanics and thermal issues associated with chip formation
  • 4. To teach the effects of tool geometry on machining force components and surface finish
  • 5. To teach the machining surface finish and material removal rate

Course Outcomes:

  • 1. Understand the basic techniques of machining processes modeling
  • 2. Understand the mechanical aspects of orthogonal cutting mechanics
  • 3. Understand the thermal aspects of orthogonal cutting mechanics
  • 4. Ability to extend, through modeling techniques, the single point, multiple point and abrasive machining processes
  • 5. Estimate the material removal rate and cutting force, in an industrially useful manner, for practical machining processes.
