The applications of lasers in manufacturing are widespread. Laser energy finds many applications other than its use as a cutting tool. Laser is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. By electrically stimulating the atoms of certain materials such as various crystals and certain gases, the electrons of these atoms can …

A great deal of interest and development of plasma beam has occurred in recent years. Plasma is created by passing a gas through an electric arc. The gas is ionized by the arc, and an extremely high temperature results. Temperatures in plasma arcs can exceed ( ), many times hotter than any arc or flame …

The cutting tool in this process is an extremely high pressure water jet. Pressures of several thousand pounds per square inch are used to pump water through a small nozzle, thus abrasive material directing a narrow stream at the workpiece. The efficiency of the process is enhanced by adding an abrasive material to the water. Thus, …

Ultrasonic machining is akin to abrasive processes like sand blasting. High-frequency sound (Figure M-113) is used as the motive force that propels abrasive particles against the workpiece. Advantages of this process include the ability to machine hard material with little distortion. Good surface finishes may be obtained, and part features of many different shapes can be …
