This process functions as the reverse of electroplating. Material is removed atom-by-atom via anodic dissolution. A high DC current passes through an electrolyte solution flowing between a conductive tool (cathode) and the workpiece (anode). Uses a high-velocity stream of gas containing abrasive
Uses a high-velocity stream of gas containing abrasive particles.
Non-conventional machining (NCM) processes, also known as modern or non-traditional machining, remove material using advanced energy sources like thermal, chemical, or electrical energy rather than direct physical contact with a sharp cutting tool. As of April 2026, the field is rapidly evolving with integrations of and hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing . I. Comparison: Conventional vs. Non-Conventional
