Advanced Machining Processes

There is a need for machine tools and processes which can accurately and easily machine the most difficult-to-machine materials and work pieces with intricate and accurate shapes. In order to meet these challenges, a number of newer material removal processes have now been developed to the level of commercial utilization. These newer methods are also called unconventional in the sense that conventional tools are not employed for metal cutting. Instead, energy in its direct form is used to remove the material from the work piece. This course aims at bringing the students up-to-date with the latest technological developments and research trends in the field of unconventional / nontraditional / modern machining processes.INTENDED AUDIENCE:Intended for UG and PG students who plan to take up this subject as their future research area. Also, for practitioner in industries who want to implement new development or technologies in advanced machining to their factory.PREREQUISITES: NilINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Die manufacturing industries, Automobile Industries, Machine Tool Industries, Precision medical equipment manufacturing industries, High precision optics and semiconductor industries.
