LASER BEAM MACHINING - NON TRADITIONAL MACHININGSajal Tiwari
Laser Beam Machining or more broadly laser material processing deals with machining and material processing like heat treatment, allowing, cladding, sheet metal bending etc. Such processing is carried out utilizing the energy of coherent photons or laser beam, which is mostly converted into thermal energy upon interaction with most of the materials. Nowadays, the laser is also finding application in regenerative machining or rapid prototyping as in processes like stereolithography, selective laser sintering etc. Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The underline working principle of a laser was first put forward by Albert Einstein in
1917 through the first industrial laser for experimentation was developed around the 1960s. The laser beam can very easily be focused using optical lenses as their wavelength ranges from half a micron to around 70 microns. The focused laser beam as indicated earlier can have power density in excess of 1 MW/mm2 . As laser interacts with the material, the energy of the photon are absorbed by the work material leading to a rapid substantial rise in local temperature. This, in turn, results in melting and vaporization of the work material and finally material removal.
Working of Laser beam machining process. Its one kind of non traditional or advanced manufacturing process.Production of laser beam and with the use of lasers how can material can be removed is to be explained over here...
One of the widely used industrial cutting process described in brief for the beginners. Water jet cutting process is a industrial tool capable of cutting wide variety of materials using very high pressure of a mixture of water and abrasive material. They are often used during fabrication of machine parts.
*Fastest growing machining process
*One of the most versatile machining processes
*Compliments other technologies such as milling, laser, EDM, plasma and routers
*True cold cutting process – no HAZ, mechanical stresses or operator and environmental hazards
*Not limited to machining – food industry applications
Used to cut much harder materials
Water is not used directly to cut material as in Pure, instead water is used to accelerate abrasive particles which do the cutting

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. INTRODUCTION TO WATER JET
Key element in WJM is a jet of water.
Water jet travels at velocities as high as 900 m/s.
When the jet of water strikes a work piece surface, the erosive force of water removes the
material rapidly.
The water, in this case, acts like a saw and cuts a narrow groove in the work piece material.
True cold cutting process – no HAZ (Heat Affected Zones), mechanical stresses or operator
and environmental hazards
3. PRINCIPLE
When the a high pressure (150-1000 MPa) and high velocity (540-1400 m/s) of water jet
comes out of nozzle and strikes the work piece of the material, its kinetic energy is converted
into pressure energy including high stresses in the work material. When this induced stress
exceeds the ultimate shear stress of the material, small chips of the work piece material get
loosened and fresh surface is exposed.
The fluid flow rate is typically from 0.5 to 2.5 l/min
Water is the most common fluid used, but additives such as alcohols, oil products and
glycerol are added when they can be dissolved in water to improve the fluid characteristics.
4. WHY USE WATER JET?
It can cut almost everything, with greater efficiency and productivity.
It is one of the fastest growing major machine tool processes in the
world due to its versatility and ease of operation.
Water jets cut accurately, reduced scrap-saving money through
greater material utilization.
5. HOW WATER JET WORKS?
High pressure (60,000 psi), which when bombarded on
the work piece erodes the material.
A high velocity water jet when directed at a target in such
a way that, its velocity in virtually reduced to zero on
striking the surface. Because of this water jet will make a
hole in the material if the pressure is high enough.
7. TYPES OF WATER JET
PURE WATER JET
Pure Water jet is the original water cutting method. In
which pure water is compressed at very high pressure &
released through a narrow opening.
ABRASIVE WATER JET
Abrasive water jet is same as pure water jet and within
just 2 minutes the very same water jet can be transformed into
an abrasive water jet to cut hard materials by adding abrasives
to it.
8. PURE WATER JET CUTTING
1. Water under pressure
2. Water nozzle
3. Pure water jet
4. Work piece
5. Cut width
9. PURE WATER JET CUTTING
Pure Water jet is the original water cutting method. In which pure
water is compressed at very high pressure & released through a
narrow opening.
It forms water jet, which comes out at the speed of up to 850 m/s
The largest uses for pure water jet cutting are disposable diapers,
tissue paper, and automotive interiors .
Provides Very thin stream (0.004 to 0.010 inch in diameter is the
common range) .
Very little material loss due to precise cutting.
10. PURE WATER JET CUTTING
Non-heat cutting ,Usually cuts very quickly.
Able to cut soft, light materials(e.g., fiber glass
insulation up to 24" thick).
Used to cut soft, thin, or porous material
Silicone
VCT (tile)
Foam
Cork
Teflon
Composites
Plastic
11. ABRASIVE WATER JETS
1. Water under pressure
2. Water nozzle
3. Water jet
4. Abrasive feed (unpressurised)
5. Mixing chamber (vacuum chamber)
6. Abrasive nozzle (focusing tube)
7. Water jet with abrasive
8. Cut width
12. ABRASIVE WATER JETS
In abrasive water jet, the water jet stream accelerates abrasive particles and
those particles erode the material from the work piece.
The abrasive Water jet is hundreds of times more powerful than the pure
Water jet.
Extremely versatile process, No Heat Affected Zones, No mechanical
stresses.
Easy to program
Thin stream (0.020 to 0.050 inch in diameter)
10 inch thick cutting, Little material loss due to cutting
Quickly switch from pure water jet to abrasive water jet.
13. TYPES OF ABRASIVE MATERIALS
garnet , aluminum oxide , olivine , silica sand , silicon carbide , etc .
Virtually any material can be cut by using abrasive jet
machining method , i.e. harder materials like titanium to steel.
Abrasive particles must be hard ,high toughness, irregular in
shape & edges should be sharp (usually about 0.001 in)
16. ADVANTAGES OF WATER JET
CUTTING
There are no heat affected zones (HAZ)
The material does not get warped, discolored or hardened
Ability to manufacture burr-free parts
No jagged edges or burrs
Near net shape cutting
Eliminates the need for secondary operations
Can cut through thick materials
Up to 12” in thickness
17. ADVANTAGES (CONTINUED)……
Cheaper than other processes.
Cut any material. (mild steel, copper, brass, aluminum; brittle
materials like glass, ceramic, quartz, stone)
Make all sorts of shapes with only one tool.
Unlike machining or grinding, water jet cutting does not produce any
dust or particles that are harmful if inhaled.
18. DISADVANTAGES
Abrasive powder cannot be reused.
Very thick parts can not be cut with Water Jet
One of the main disadvantages of water jet cutting is that a
limited number of materials can be cut economically.
Taper is also a problem with WJM in very thick materials.
WJM is very expensive process. It is not suitable for mass
production because of high maintenance requirements.
19. PROCESS COMPARISON
WATER JETS VS. LASERS CUTTING
Abrasive water jets can machine many materials that
lasers cannot. (Reflective materials in particular,
such as Aluminum and Copper)
Uniformity of material is not very important to a
water jet.
Water jets do not heat your part. Thus there is no
thermal distortion or hardening of the material.
Water jets are safer.
Maintenance on the abrasive jet nozzle is simpler
than that of a laser.
20. PROCESS COMPARISON
FLAME CUTTING VS. WATER JET
CUTTING
If the cutting edge quality of flame cutting fulfills the
requirements, then flame cutting is more cost-effective
than water jet cutting.
Water jet cutting provides benefits with respect to the
surface, because depending on the process there are no
weld spatters and no burr formation.
The part can also be processed further without thermal
heat treatment and straightening.
21. PROCESS COMPARISON
WATER JETS VS. ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE
MACHINING
Water jets are much faster than EDM
Water jets machine has a wider variety of materials (virtually any material).
Uniformity of material is not very important to a water jet.
Water jets do not heat the surface of what they machine.
water jets require less setup and can cut even non conducting materials.
water jets can be considered to be like super-fast EDM machines with less
precision.
23. STRUCTURE ANALYSIS
Water jet cutting is a cold process, so there is no structural
influence.
The heat transfer during laser, plasma and flame cutting
changes the structure
24. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND
FUTURE
Nowadays, every manufacturing process is being re-evaluated in
terms of its impact on the environment. For example, use of
conventional coolants in machining and grinding is being looked upon
critically from the point of view of its impact on environment. The
environmental issues relevant to AWJM are,
• water recycling
• spent water disposal
• chip recovery
• abrasive recovery and reuse
Environmental issues and concerns have lead the researchers to use
such mediums and abrasives that do not require disposal, recycling or
lead to pollution. Work is going on in the area of high-pressure
cryogenic jet machining .
25. CRYOGENIC ABRASIVE JET MACHINING
In Cryogenic Abrasive Jet
Machining, liquid nitrogen
replaces the water phase and dry
ice crystals (solid CO2 crystals)
replace the abrasive phase leading
to no need of disposal or waste
generation.
The removed work material in
the form of microchips can be
collected much easily reducing
the chances of environmental
degradation.
