 PROCESS PARAMETERS DESCREPTION

(a)Applied voltage (in V) –

potential difference applied to operate a NTM setup/equipment.
(b)Corner radius (in mm) –
It refers to the radius of a circle that is generated if the corner arc of a rectangle
is extended to form a complete circle.
(c)Total cost (in relative (R) scale) –
This encompasses initial acquisition, tooling and fixture, power consumption
and tool wear cost of a NTM setup/equipment.
(d)Current (in A) –
flow of electrons or ions inside an electric circuit to initiate the material
removal process.
(e)Volumetric MRR (in mm /min) –
3

volume of material removed from the work piece per unit of machining time.
(f) Power requirement (in W) –
power rating of a NTM setup/equipment.
(g) Safety (in R scale) –
It deals with the safety of the operators while performing a machining operation
employing a NTM setup/equipment.
(h) Surface damage (in μm) –
damage caused on the work piece surface due to destructive machining forces
or ion beam bombardment.
(i) Surface finish (in μm) –
It is the allowable deviation from an absolutely flat surface
which can be attained through the machining action and is measured in terms of center
line average or roughness average value.
(j) Taper (in mm/mm) –
a gradual thinning or narrowing of the workpiece toward its one end.
(k)Tolerance (in μm) –
dimensional closeness of an end product to its required specifications.
(l)Toxicity (in R scale) –
environmental and other hazards caused due to machining medium contamination.
