applications of unconventional machining process_

The nozzle is designed to accelerate the gas, which carries the abrasives. The choice of gas can vary, with air being the most common due to its availability and cost-effectiveness. The abrasive material, usually small particles of aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, or garnet, is fed into the gas stream through a mixing chamber. When the mixture exits the nozzle at high velocity, the kinetic energy of the abrasive particles is transformed into localized heat and mechanical stress upon impact with the workpiece. This results in material removal through both micro-fracturing and shearing processes.

Challenges Facing the Industry

Conclusion

Over the past few decades, China has made significant strides in refining its precision casting techniques. The introduction of advanced technologies such as 3D printing, computer-aided design (CAD), and materials science has revolutionized the industry. These innovations have allowed manufacturers to create intricate designs that were once considered impossible, significantly reducing lead times and production costs.
