This document provides an overview of unconventional machining processes (UCM). It discusses the need for UCM due to limitations of conventional machining. UCM is classified based on the energy used and mechanism. Examples of processes include mechanical (AWJM, USM), electrical (EDM, WEDM), chemical/electrochemical (ECM, ECG), and thermal (LBM, PAM, EBM). Selection of a UCM process depends on the workpiece parameters, shape, capability, and economic considerations. The document provides details on the working principles, equipment, parameters, finishes, and applications of different UCM processes.
