Non-Conventional 
 An unconventional machining process 
(or non-traditional machining process) is 
a special type of machining process in 
which there is no direct contact between 
the tool and the work piece. 
In unconventional machining, a form of 
energy is used to remove unwanted 
material from a given work piece
Nontraditional Processes by 
Type of Energy Used 
 Chemical 
 Thermal 
 Electrical 
 Mechanical
Electrochemical Machining 
Processes: 
 ECM removes material at the anode 
(work piece) using current controlled 
electrochemical process. By feeding a 
shaped cathode (tool or electrode) 
towards the work piece, the reverse 
shape of the tool is copied to the work 
piece.
Electrochemical Machining 
Processes: 
1. Electrochemical machining (ECM) 
2. Electrochemical debarring (ECD) 
3. Electrochemical grinding (ECG)
Electrochemical machining (ECM
Electrochemical debarring (ECD) 
 In Electrochemical Deburring (ECD), 
burrs are dissolved from metallic 
workpieces electrochemically and are 
flushed away by pressurized electrolyte.
Electrochemical grinding (ECG) 
 ECG that combines electrolytic activity 
with the physical removal of material by 
means of charged grinding wheels.
Advantages 
 No mechanical force 
 There is no cutting forces therefore 
 clamping is not required except for 
controlled motion of the work piece. 
 There is no heat affected zone. 
 Very accurate. 
 Relatively fast
Economics 
 The process is economical when a 
large number of complex identical 
products need to be made 
 Several tools could be connected to a 
cassette to make many cavities 
simultaneously.
Thanks for your 
attention.
