Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) Principles

EDM is a non-conventional machining technique uniquely used for cutting metals which are not possible to cut with traditional methods. EDM only works with materials which are electrically conductive. Delicate cavities and intricate contours which are difficult to produce with a grinder or other machines can be done with Electrical Discharge Machining or EDM. The cutting tool for EDM may be made

Electrochemical Machining (ECM) Principles

Electrochemical Machining (ECM) is based upon Faraday's law of electrolysis. Faraday's law states that the the mass of a metal altered by the electrode is proportional to the quantity of electrical charges transferred to that electrode. In ECM the removal of metal is controlled by the anodic dissolution in the electrolyte. In ECM - The workpiece acts as the anode The tool act as cathode.

Match Plate Pattern - Used in Casting (With diagram)

What is Match - Plate Pattern The match plate pattern is almost similar to the mounted pattern but it can have part of the casting in the cope and part in the drag like split piece pattern. These parts are generally attached to the plate / board in opposite sides in the perfect positions. When the plate is removed and mold is in close position the cavities in the cop and drag match perfectly.

Ultrasonic Machining (USM) Working Principles

In this process the material of the workpiece is removed by the repetitive impact actions of abrasive particles. The erosion takes place by the abrasive particles which are carried by a liquid medium in the from of a slurry . A shaped vibrating tool is used to produce the impact. The term shaped is used to explain that the process is capable enough to create 3D profiles in correspondence to the

Water Jet Machining (WJM) Advantages and Disadvantages

In Water jet Machining no abrasive is used. Water jet alone is used for cutting. In WJM, materials like concrete, asbestos, wood, rocks, coal, textiles and leather can be cut. The material is removed by means of erosion. These days hydraulic coal mining as well as tunneling, descaling and cleaning is also done by this process. Water Jet Machining (WJM) Principles As

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WELDING

Like all joining processes (in fact, like all processes!), welding offers several advantages but has some disadvantages as well. The most significant advantage of welding is undoubtedly that it provides exceptional structural integrity, producing joints with very high efficiencies. The strength of joints that are welded continuously (i.e.,full length, without intentional skipped areas) can easily

A MythTV Remote Control without LIRC - Power Switch Addon

Overview This is a little add-on for my MythTV remote control. It adds a hardware power switch feature. This means that you can switch the PC on even if it is completely shut down. There is just one condition, which is that the remote control receiver must have power, supplied through the USB port. On most modern mainboards, this is an option in the BIOS settings. The additional hardware is
