Non-traditional machining (NTM) processes can directly employ various forms of energy for removing material from workpiece in order to fabricate the intended 3-D feature. EDM, LBM, EBM, and PAM are four common NTM processes that use thermal energy (heat) to selectively remove material. In these processes, material removal mostly takes place in vaporized and sometimes in molten state. The source of heat is, however, different for these four processes. Laser

Several advanced machining processes have been developed over the last few decades to cater the evergrowing demand of high quality small-scale products made of a wide variety materials with highly finished surfaces and close tolerance. Laser beam machining and ion beam machining are two such processes that follow subtractive manufacturing approach to fabricate intended features with improved accuracy and tight tolerance. However, their working principle and extent of capability are

There exist four basic non-traditional machining processes (EDM, LBM, EBM, and PAM) where thermal energy is utilized to melt and vaporize a tiny volume of material from the workpiece. Although mechanism of material removal is same in all four processes, the source of heat is different. In Electron Beam Machining (EBM), a concentrated beam of electrons is used as heat source. Here ample electrons are first generated using an electron
