Non-Traditional Machining Uses

The document discusses four classifications of non-traditional machining processes: mechanical energy processes, electrochemical machining, thermal energy processes, and chemical processes. It provides examples of applications for various non-traditional machining techniques, such as ultrasonic machining being used for grinding, drilling, and piercing dies, and water jet cutting being used on metals, paper, and cloth in industries like automotive and aerospace. Electrochemical grinding is used for machining high-strength alloys and turbine blades, while chemical milling has applications in printed circuit boards and semiconductor fabrication.
