ABSTRACT
Titanium alloys are super alloys that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). In view of its astounding erosion opposition, high explicit efficiency and cryogenic properties, titanium alloy composites are widely used in marine construction, clinical and material projects. In various businesses such as aviation and automotive firms, titanium compound and composites are commonly used as it has great solidarity with the proportion of weight. Due to the localization of chemical reactions in small areas, material removal rates are still high relative to other machining methods. As there is no heat affected region, electrochemical machining offers the benefit of not affecting the grain structure of the substrate. A hybrid machining process can be adopted to improve the efficiency of the product and increasing the life stability of various composites. In this chapter, process parameters such as voltage, feed rate, electrolyte concentration and inter electrode gap are used during the research to investigate their effect on the work piece’s surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate for making better hybrid process. In hybrid process, the mechanism of two processes is applied concurrently or consecutively. Although, the performance of combined process is better as compared to the individual processes but hybridization increases the process complexity.
