The main features of special material processing include the following aspects:
Wide processing range: Special material processing is not limited by the mechanical properties of materials, and can process various hard, soft, brittle, heat-resistant or high-melting-point metals and non-metallic materials.
No significant mechanical cutting force during processing: In special material processing, there is no significant mechanical cutting force between the tool and the workpiece, which makes the workpiece deform less, generate less heat, and have less thermal deformation and stress during processing, making it easy to obtain good processing quality.
Suitable for complex shapes and micro-machining: Special material processing methods are easy to process various complex surfaces, micro-surfaces and flexible parts, and can meet the processing requirements of high precision and high complexity.
Good surface quality: Special material processing can obtain good surface quality and reduce surface defects such as burrs and knife marks and grooves.
Easy to automate: Many special material processing methods directly use electrical energy or other energy for processing, which is easy to automate and improve production efficiency.
Fast material removal speed: Although the material removal speed of special material processing methods may be lower than that of traditional mechanical processing methods in some cases, its processing accuracy is high and the processing quality can be guaranteed.
These characteristics make special material processing widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic device manufacturing and other fields, and can meet the high-precision and high-complexity processing needs.
