Abstract

Non-traditional machining processes (such as EDM and ECM) provide alternatives or sometimes the only alternative in generating highly complex 3-D features in very difficult-to -machine materials. This paper reviews recently published work on sustainability issues related to these processes. For example in Electrochemical machining (ECM) the effect of sludge generation and selection of dielectric in Electrodischarge machining (EDM) need to be investigated from the sustainability point of view. All

processes need to be studied not only for resulting productivity and accuracy but also their environmental impact during product generation and usage. This paper addresses process mechanisms, surface integrity, sensing and control and sustainabilty issues of EDM, ECM, USM and AFM processes at macro, micro and nano-scales.

1. Introduction

Manufacturing which converts raw materials into useful and saleable products is one of the biggest consumer of both renewal and non-renewable materials and a large portion of produced energy. The waste generated during manufacturing adversely affects the environment [1]. The sustainable manufacturing aims at optimizing efficiency but at the same time minimizing environmental effect with social equality [2]. The Brundtland Commission of the United Nations defines sustainable development as "Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

A better understanding and characterization of energy consumption of a manufacturing system has been termed as the first step towards attaining sustainable manufacturing [3]. Adopting sustainable manufacturing practices offers machining companies a cost-effective path to improve the three pillars of sustainability, i.e. social, environmental
