Other Assisted Hybrid Micromachining Processes

Abstract

One or several types of energy is superimposed on the conventional micromachining process in assisted variant of hybrid micromachining process. Energy from sources like laser, magnetic field, ultrasonic vibration, etc., are superimposed resulting in improved micromachining processes. The present chapter outlines and discusses some of the major assisted micromachining processes such as vibration-assisted variant of hybrid micromachining, external electric field assisted micromachining, and carbon nanofiber assisted micromachining processes.
