Electrochemical micromachining process is one among the successful micromachining technique, which uses the electrochemical energy and is recognized for machining difficult-to-cut materials. One such material is Nimonic 75 alloy, which is used to make gas turbine components. In this study, an effort has been made to machine micro-hole profiles in Nimonic 75 with a thickness of 500 μm using two different electrolytes. A combination of sodium bromide, hydrofluoric acid and ethylene glycol has been chosen as the first electrolyte, while the second is a combination of sodium chloride and sodium nitrate. Solid tungsten carbide of diameter 500 μm is used as the tool in each case. For layout of experiments, Taguchi orthogonal array was chosen with following input parameters namely voltage, micro-tool feed rate and duty cycle. Performance characteristics such as material removal rate, overcut and conicity have been assessed for each electrolyte. Experimental results have shown that the first electrolyte yields lower values of overcut (OC) and conicity, whereas the second electrolyte gives higher material removal rate (MRR). Further, the optimal combinations of process parameters have been found by implementing the TOPSIS procedure and the results were found to be in good agreement with the experimental outcomes.

It is always the difficulties for micro hole machining in the machine manufacturing industry, even more in the defense industry. The vibration drilling new craft, with the incomparable advantages in micro hole drilling, is different from the common one. The precision NC micro hole vibration drilling machine is developed, and the micro hole drilling experiments are conducted. The vibration drilling can not only improve the drill life more than ten times compared with the normal one, but also improve the centering ability and position precision.

Austenite 0Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel is one of difficult-to-cut materials. It has poor dilling process, especially for micro-hole machining. The main reasons are the tiny drill, poor rigidity, easy to deviation. Moreover, the chip is difficult to discharge, so the drilling force is increased and the drill bit is easy to break, or even it is impossible for micro-hole drilling. In this paper, the vibration drilling process is adopted. The vibration drilling 0Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel micro-hole process mechanism is researched. The stainless steel micro-hole drilling experiments are conducted. The results show that the vibration drilling can be a better solution for 0Cr18Ni9Ti stainless steel micro-hole processing.

It is often one of the most important issues for chip breaking and chip removal problems in the hole machining process, especially for micro hole. The chip breaking mechanism of the vibration drilling is researched, and its chip breaking conditions is analyzed. The micro drilling experiments are carried to contrast the chip shape of common drilling and vibration one. It can be draw that the vibration drilling can realize the regular chip breaking, which is beneficial to chip removal in hole machining, the chip breaking feature is one of the fine process effects. This work further enriches the vibration drilling technology.

In micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), dielectric plays a significant role during the machining process as different types of dielectrics encounters different chemical compositions, cooling rates and dielectric strengths. Therefore, while employing these different dielectrics, dissimilar process responses are accounted when machining in EDM at micron level. The present paper investigates micro-EDM characteristics such as material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), overcut (OC), taperness and machining time (MT) during micro-machining of through holes on Ti-6Al-4V superalloy employing de-ionized water based dielectric other than conventional hydro-carbon oil i.e. kerosene. The paper also includes the comparative study of the micro-EDM machining characteristics employing boron carbide (B4C) powder as additive in de-ionized water dielectric at different discharge energies. The results show that MRR and taper of micro-hole are better and TWR is less employing B4C additive in the dielectric than pure one, i.e. the productivity is improved and same micro-tool can be used for machining an array of micro-holes. Surface topography and recast layer formed during micro-hole machining by micro-EDM has also been investigated based on optical and SEM micrographs. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis of machined surface as well as tool electrode surface has been done and the results show that there is significant amount of infusion of tungsten element onto the machined surface. A significant amount of carbon element is found onto the tool electrode surface.
