Process Characteristics
Process parameters and
typical material removal
rate or cutting speedChemical machining (CM) Shallow removal (up to 12 mm) on large flat or

material removal among nontraditional processes;
expensive tooling and equipment; high power
consumption; medium to high production quantity.

on current density.
Electrochemical grinding
(ECG)
Cutting off and sharpening hard materials, such as
tungsten-carbide tools; also used as a honing process;
higher removal rate than grinding.

Water-jet machining (WJM) Cutting all types of nonmetallic materials to 25 mm
and greater in thickness; suitable for contour cutting
of flexible materials; no thermal damage; noisy.

Abrasive water-jet machining(AWJM) Single or multilayer cutting of metallic andnonmetallic materials. Up to 7.5 m/min.
Abrasive-jet machining
(AJM)
Cutting, slotting, deburring, deflashing, etching, and
cleaning of metallic and nonmetallic materials;
manually controlled; tends to round off sharp edges;
hazardous.
Varies considerably with
material.
