11. New developments in both materials and cutting tools have enhanced the concept of hard machining. What are some of the advantages?

Solution

Some of the advantages are -

a) Due to Hard machining flexibility of machining the job has increased realtive to other material removing process.

b) With the help of hard machining complex geometry can be manufactured in just a single step.

c) MRR is much higher and thus the machining time is reduced.

d) This process produces machined parts with good dimensional accuracy, surface finish and surface integrity.
