Separating Processes

Separating processes are those manufacturing processes that involve material removal. Examples are traditional machining processes such as milling, drilling, sawing, and turning. Other separating processes would include thermal separating, erosion and electrochemical machining.

Machining Processes (Mechanical Separating)

Machining Processes (Mechanical Separating)
Machining is a class of manufacturing processes that change the shape of a workpiece by removing metal by the use of machine tools. Examples of traditional machining operations include milling, drilling, turning, and sawing.

Thermal Separating

Thermal Separating
Thermal separating uses heat to melt, vaporize, or otherwise remove material. Examples include oxyfuel gas cutting, plasma cutting, and laser cutting.

Chemical Separating Processes

Chemical machining, also known as chemical milling or chem-milling, is a subtractive manufacturing process that involves the controlled removal of material from the surface of a workpiece using chemical reactions. This process is typically used for materials that are difficult to machine using traditional mechanical methods due to their hardness, brittleness, or complex shapes. Here's...
