The waste, and amount of waste, from a machining process depends entirely on the material being machine and the specific process. The only "waste" produced in every machining process is heat in some form or another.

For a typical metal cutting operation you're going to have smaller bits of metal removed from a larger workpiece called "chips". There may also be cutting fluids consisting of heavy mineral oils and/or emulsified oils that break down with time and require disposal at a recycling center.

What will happen if you increase the speed of machining in Wire electrical discharge machining?

Machined surface is more rough.


What is adaptive control machining system?

The adaptive control is basically a feedback system that treats CNC as an internal unit in which the machining variables automatically adapt themselves to the actual conditions of the machining process.


What are the possible results of designing a part with specifications that require over machining?

Designing a part with specifications that require over machining can lead to several potential issues. It may increase production costs due to excessive material removal and longer machining times, resulting in lower efficiency. Additionally, the risk of compromising the part's structural integrity or introducing dimensional inaccuracies rises, which can affect overall performance. Finally, it can also lead to increased waste and environmental concerns due to the higher volume of scrap material generated.

How much material waste is aluminium when producing an aircraft?

During the production of an aircraft, aluminum can generate significant material waste, often estimated to be around 30% to 40% of the total aluminum used. This waste primarily arises from the cutting, shaping, and machining processes required to manufacture aircraft components. Efforts are being made in the industry to recycle this waste and improve manufacturing efficiency to reduce overall material loss. Additionally, advancements in technology aim to minimize waste through more precise fabrication techniques.

What is waste from machining called?

The waste depends on the process and material. If you are cutting metal, you'll have lots of little "chips" to deal with afterward.


What material has fire safety concerns associated with machining?

There would be fire safety concerns when machining a highly combustible metal, such as magnesium. Machining can produce significant heat in the material being machined, and produces a waste product such as lathe turnings, chips or dust that is very easy to ignite. This results in a Class D fire, and standard ABC rated extinguishers are ineffective in extinguishing such as fire.

What is proof machining?

Proof machining means>> If part have too much dispensable material to remove through out machining than machining is done on the same to remove all material till it will have only 2~3 mm to achieve its final dimensions , this process is called proof machining or if part have 1~2 mm material to remove for coming it final dimensions then Cutting tool path proving done & is called proof machining.


What is field machining?

I'd say it's machining carried out "in the field". Most machining is done in facilities specifically constructed and equipped for the work to be done. When the workpiece that requires machining cannot be transported to one of these facilities you need to bring the appropriate tools and machinery to the workpiece.
