Abstract

In this paper, a computer-aided selection procedure is presented as a general purpose aid to the designer in making preliminary selections of nontraditional (nonconventional) machining processes for a given part. The selection procedure uses an interactively generated 16-digit classification code to eliminate unsuitable combinations from consideration and rank the remainder. The coding system, data bases and computer program for the elimination phase of the selection process have been developed. In this study, only the work material and some of the process capabilities, namely minimum surface finish, minimum size tolerance, minimum corner radii, minimum taper, minimum hole diameter, maximum hole height to diameter ratio and minimum width of cut, are used to determine best selection among the competitive nontraditional machining processes.
