Characteristics of Unconventional Machining Process

1. The unconventional machining processes do not employ a conventional or traditional tool for metal removal, instead, they directly unitize some of energy for metal machinery.

2. The tool material need not be harder than the work piece material.

3. A harder and difficult to machine materials such as carbides, stainless steel, nitralloy hastalloy and many other high strength, temperature resistant alloys can be machined by unconventional machining processes.

4. The machined surface do not have any residual stresses.
