The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Thorough literature review of various modern machining processes is presented in this paper. The main focus is kept on the optimization aspects of various parameters of the modern machining processes and hence only such research works are included in this work in which the use of advanced optimization techniques were involved. The review period considered is from the year 2006 to 2012. Various modern machining processes considered in this work are electric discharge machining, abrasive jet machining, ultrasonic machining, electrochemical machining, laser beam machining, micro-machining, nano-finishing and various hybrid and modified versions of these processes. The review work on such a large scale was not attempted earlier by considering many processes at a time, and hence, this review work may become the ready information at one place and it may be very useful to the subsequent researchers to decide their direction of research.
