The aerospace community widely uses difficult-to-cut materials, such as titanium alloys, high-
temperature alloys, metal/ceramic/polymer matrix composites, hard and brittle materials, and …

Grinding is a key technology for difficult-to-machine materials, eg, super alloys, ceramics,
and composites. The material removal behavior is dependent on almost all grinding …

Hybrid manufacturing processes are based on the simultaneous and controlled interaction
of process mechanisms and/or energy sources/tools having a significant effect on the …

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) ceramic, one of the best candidates for large
optical mirrors, is difficult to machine because of its high hardness and brittleness. A hybrid …

The surface finishing techniques can be divided into two categories: traditional and
advanced. To overcome some of the problems of traditional finishing techniques, hybridized …

Electrical discharge machining is one of the widely used noncontact-type advanced
machining processes in which material removal takes place due to melting and vaporization …

Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics are extensively utilized in aerospace, national defense, and
petrochemical industries due to their superior physical and chemical properties. The …

To fabricate three-dimensional microstructures, such as micro dimples, micro grooves and
micro channels, on ceramic mold materials, tool fabrication with super hard materials is an …

Diamond wheel wear is the greatest challenge for the high-efficiency grinding of SiC mirrors
due to the need for the frequent dressing of the wheel. To realize the dressing of the …

The present work focuses on prediction of wheel wear and surface roughness using two
techniques, namely design of experiments and neural network. Effect of process parameters …
