Machining

Machining involves forming parts by removing chips from the material. This method is applied in many areas of industrial production. Here is the definition of machining, some common methods and areas of use:

Machining Methods:

  1. Turning Operations:During the rotary movement of the workpiece, chips are removed from the surface of the material with a cutting tool. This method is used in the manufacture of cylindrical parts.

  2. Milling Operations: Chips are removed from the surface of the workpiece using rotary tools with a large number of cutting edges. It is used for the manufacture of complex shapes and surfaces.

  3. Drilling Operations:It is used to drill holes into the material.

  4. Grinding Operations: Surface smoothness is achieved by using an abrasive grinding disc.

  5. Cutting Operations: It is used to bring the workpiece to certain sizes and shapes.

Usage Areas of Machining:

  • Automotive Industry: It is used for the manufacture of engine blocks, axles, gears and other components.

  • Aviation Industry: It is used for the manufacture of aircraft engines, landing gear and structural components.

  • Health Industry: It is used for the manufacture of medical devices such as surgical instruments, prostheses and implants.

  • Construction Industry:It is used in the manufacture of construction equipment and building components.

  • Shipbuilding: It is used in the manufacture of parts used in shipbuilding.

  • Electronics Industry: It is used in the manufacture of precision components and parts.

  • Machinery and Equipment Production: It is used to manufacture special machines, tools and equipment.

  • Energy Industry:It is used to manufacture parts of power generation equipment.

​Machining is widely used in the production of parts that need high tolerances on size and shape. Traditionally used in metalworking, these techniques can also work with other materials such as plastics and composites. The high precision and flexibility offered by machining has made it widely used in many industries.
