According to the most of the studies dealing with micro grooving, cutting, leading to lower material removal Abrasive jet machining is traditional process. Invention was made to create those needs. A number of investigation or researches were carried out by imminent personality but no detailed information and design has provided about cylindrical vibrating chamber or mixing chamber. This change in shape gives better velocity to abrasive particles and non sticking characteristic gives the better effect of erosion of material on work piece and scattering of particle towards objects. The parameter stand off distance, variable pressure, material removal rate used for this experimental study has also moderate. The work carried out with Alumina nozzle. The abrasive powder feed rate is controlled by the amplitude of mixing chamber. The root mean square value is 0.988 in linear regression model. The estimated standard error is 0.00115 which is very less. The performance of sand gives the similar better model result as given by traditional using different parameter. The taper of cut is higher with this mixing particle and better feed rate.

Nimonic C-263 is predominantly used in the manufacturing of heat susceptible intricate components in the gas turbine, aircraft, and automotive industries. Owing to its high strength, poor thermal conductivity, the superalloy is difficult to machine and causes rapid tool wear during conventional machining mode. Moreover, the unpleasant machining noise produced during machining severely disrupts the tool engineer’s concentration, thereby denying a precise and environment friendly machining operation. Hence, close dimensional accuracy, superior machined surface quality along with production economy, and pleasant work environment for the tool engineers is the need of an hour of the current manufacturing industry. To counter such issues, the present work attempts to compare and explore the machinability of two of the most popular machining strategies like minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and cryogenic machining process during turning of Nimonic C-263 work piece in order to achieve an ideal machining environment. The machining characteristics are compared in terms of surface roughness (SR), power consumption (P), machining noise (S), nose wear (NW), and cutting forces (CF) to evaluate the impact of machining variables like cutting speed (Vc), feed (f), and depth of cut (ap) with a detailed parametric study and technical justification. Yet again, an investigation is conducted to compare both the machining strategies in terms of qualitative responses like chip morphology, total machining cost, and carbon emissions. The study revealed that cryogenic machining strategy is adequately proficient over MQL machining to deliver energy proficient and gratifying work environment for the tool engineers by reducing the cost of machining and improving their work efficiency.

The purpose of the work – development of recommendations on correct choice support of hard-alloy plate quality according to the conditions specified of plates operation. In the work there is formed a new approach to the analysis of hard-alloy plates of a metal-cutting tool which develops an approach existing in the RSSs and conditions a necessity to develop a metrological support of plate quality for the conditions of specified working conditions. The approach is based on the simultaneous account of some plate parameters by means of the introduction of conditional quality grades. The investigation results: - the impact of the value spread of mass and dimensions of plates upon plate quality is defined, - the criteria of their division into grades depending on a spread value are defined. Conclusions: the results of plate classification according to the parameters: “plate weight”, “plate length”, Plate width” and “plate thickness differ considerably; plate weight effects most the output parameters of part work-piece machining process, plate thickness impact is the smallest; home plate quality is not so acceptable for the billet high-performance machining of precision parts; the adaptation of acting RSSs to plates taking into account the requirements for modern NC machines; under current conditions a technologist of an engineering enterprise-consumer of plates is unable to order meaningfully their essential number because of the domination of low-quality plates.

Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM) is the process of material removal from a work piece by the application of a high speed stream of abrasive particles carried in a gas medium from a nozzle. The material removal process is mainly by erosion. The AJM can principally be wont to cut shapes in arduous and brittle materials like glass, ceramics etc. In this concept, a model of the Abrasive Jet Machine is proposed to design by taking into consideration of commercially available components. Care will be taken to use less fabricated components rather than directly procuring them, because, the lack of accuracy in fabricated components would lead to a diminished performance of the machine. To analyse its performance, Drilling of glass sheets with different abrasives and different nozzles will be carried out by Abrasive Jet Machining process (AJM) in order to determine its machinability.

Abrasive jet machining (AJM) also known as abrasive micro-blasting or Pencil blasting is an abrasive blasting machining process that uses abrasives propelled by high velocity gas to erode material from the work piece. It has been applied to rough working such as deburring and rough finishing, machining of ceramics and electronic devices. AJM has become a useful technique for micro machining. It has various distinct advantages over the other non-traditional cutting methods, which are high machining versatility, minimum stresses on the substrate. This paper deals with several experiments that have been conducted by many researchers to assess the influence of abrasive jet machining (AJM) process parameters such as type of abrasive Particle , Abrasive Particle size, Jet pressure Nozzle tip distance. Various experiments were conducted to assess the influence of abrasive jet machine.

Background: Patch antennas are composed of the substrate material with patch and ground plane on the both sides of the substrate. The dimensions and performance characteristics of the antenna are highly influenced by the choice of the appropriate substrate depending upon the value of their dielectric constant. Generally, low index substrate materials are used to design the patch antenna but there are also some of the applications, which require the implementation of patch antenna design on high index substrate like silicon and gallium arsenide. Objective: The objective of this article is to review the design of antennas developed on high index substrate and the problems associated with the use of these materials as substrate. Also, main challenges and solutions have been discussed to improve the performance characteristics while using the high index substrates. Method: The review article has divided into various sections including the solution of the problems associated with the high index substrates in the form of micro-machining process. Along with this, types of micro machining and their applications have discussed in detail. Results: This review article investigates the various patch antennas designed with micro-machining technology and also discusses the impact of micro-machining process on the performance parameters of the patch antennas designed on high index substrates. Conclusion: By using the micro-machining process, the performance of patch antenna improves drastically but fabrication and tolerances at such minute structures is very tedious task for the antenna designers.

Mixing is one of the most commonly used processes in food, animal feed, chemical, cosmetic, etc., industries. It is supposed to provide high-quality homogenous, nutritious mixtures. To provide appropriate mixing of materials while maintaining the process high efficiency and low energy consumption it is crucial to explore and describe the material flow caused by the movement of mixing elements and the contact between particles. The process of mixing is also affected by structural features of the machine components and the mixing chamber, speed of mixing, and properties of the mixed materials, such as the size of particles, moisture, friction coefficients. Thus, modeling of the phenomena that accompany the process of mixing using the above-listed parameters is indispensable for appropriate implementation of the process. The paper provides theoretical power calculations that take into account the material speed change, the impact of the material friction coefficient on the screw steel surface and the impact of the friction coefficient on the material, taking into account the loading height of the mixing chamber and the chamber loading value. Dependencies between the mixer power and the product degree of fineness, rotational speed of screw friction coefficients, the number of windings per length unit, and width of the screw tape have been presented on the basis of a developed model. It has been found that power increases along with an increase in the value of these parameters. Verification of the theoretical model indicated consistence of the predicted power demand with the power demand determined in tests performed on a real object for values of the assumed, effective loading, which was 65–75%.
