A Review on Machinability of Shape Memory Alloys Through Traditional and Non-Traditional Machining Processes: A Review

Abstract

This review article offers consolidated knowledge on the subject of several traditional and non-traditional procedures that are taking place throughout the years to form shape memory alloys (SMAs). At the primary part of the review, the usage of several shape memory alloys was shown. The dialogue then continued towards numerous traditional techniques of operating followed by the obstacles in the running of SMAs utilizing traditional techniques of operating. Moreover, numerous non-traditional processes of operations such WJM (Water jet Machining), cryogenic, WEDM (Wire Electro Discharge Machining), EDM (Electro Discharge Machining), and electrochemical machining explored. As well, Numerous of outcomes reactions that may occur during the operation procedures have been emphasized such as material removal rate (MRR), rate of tool wear, surface roughness (SR), the surface integrity. A consolidated records of various academics and their findings on this issue has been evaluated. After all, the article has been concluded by suggesting a variety of key points seen throughout the review process.
