- (c) Figure 11 shows a hybrid machining process that requires two or more process steps to produce a high-quality product, especially in the automotive industry. i. Identify the hybrid machining process in Figure 11. ii. Justify your selection in (i). iii. Explain the working principle of your answer in (i). Тool Nozzle Workpiece Pulse Power NC Table Supply Figure 11: Hybrid machining processarrow_forwardIn plane-strain orthogonal machining, the two main sources of energy dissipation are deformation along the shear plane (~70%) and friction at the tool-chip contact along the rake face (~30%). Consider plane-strain machining of a rigid perfectly-plastic work material whose uniaxial yield stress is 700 MPa, and is independent of strain rate and temperature. A tool of zero-degree rake angle is employed. Measurements showed the (deformed) chip thickness to be twice that of the undeformed chip thickness. Based on the aforementioned distribution of energy, estimate the specific energy for this process.arrow_forwardFor the following application, identify one or more nontraditional machining processes that might be used, and present arguments to support your selection. Assume that either the part geometry or the work material (or both) preclude the use of conventional machining. The application is a matrix of 0.1 mm (0.004 in) diameter holes in a plate of 3.2 mm (0.125 in) thick hardened tool steel. The matrix is rectangular, 75 by 125 mm (3.0 by 5.0 in) with the separation between holes in each direction = 1.6 mm ( 0.0625 in).arrow_forward
