Advantages of Non conventional machining processes :-
- The surface finish obtained is good.
- It can be used for intricate shapes machining.
- It can used for the brittle material.
- For the small size machining we can use non traditional machining.
- Capacity to machining of intricate shapes cavities.
- The tool life is more since there is no problem of the tool wear.
- For producing micro holes. Ex. 0.001 mm.
- They do not generate chips or generate microscopic chips.
- These are quieter in operation.
- It can be easily automated.
- It can machine any complex shape.
Limitation of Non conventional machining processes :-
- High initial or setup cost.
- High skilled labor is required.
- Lower metal removal rate.
- More power required for machining.
- It is not economical for bulk production.
