Mechanical Machining

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Machining and Manufacturing Processes

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

The typical examples of mechanical machining are ultrasonic machining and water jet machining. Mechanical abrasion is the main mechanism for the material removal in case of ultrasonic machining whereas in case of water jet machining it is the cutting action of the fluid jet. The medium under which the machining takes place is abrasive slurry in case of ultrasonic machining while the water jet machining is performed in the presence of fluid. The present chapter describes the different mechanical nontraditional processes.
