Abstract: Rapid technological developments in the field of new materials with ever increasing strength, hardness, toughness, heat resistance and wear resistance have imposed many problem and difficulties during the machining of these materials by conventional means. The machining of brittle and hard materials is a challenging task to the manufacturers. On the contrary, such materials are difficult to machine by Conventional machining methods. As a result non-conventional methods like Electro chemical machining(ECM), Laser beam machining(LBM), Electro-Discharge machining (EDM), Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM), etc., are being employed The nonconventional machining methods are suitable for such materials like Glass, Ceramics, and granitic. Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) and Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) are play a vital role to machine conducting materials but are not suitable for non-conductive materials
