The following four unconventional machining processes are available in a shop floor. The most appropriate one to drill a hole of square cross section of 6 mm × 6 mm and 25 mm deep is

1. Abrasive Jet Machining
2. Plasma Arc Machining
3. Laser Beam Machining
4. Electro Discharge Machining

Correct answer: Electro Discharge Machining

Solution

Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is ideal for creating precise shapes and features, such as a square cross-section, in hard materials. It uses electrical discharges to remove material, making it suitable for intricate designs and deep holes.
