8.2 Classification of Hybrid Processes

Figure 8.3 gives a further classification or grouping of hybrid processes and some examples. The first group (I) contains processes where two or more energy sources/tools are combined and have a synergetic effect in the processing zone. A further classification is made in “Assisted Hybrid Processes” (I.A) and “Mixed or Combined Processes” (I.B). In assisting processes, a main process (material removal, forming,…) is defined by the primary process. The secondary process only assists, while in pure hybrid processes, several processing mechanisms (originating from the different processes) or even new mechanisms are present. In mixed or combined processes, two or more processes are present, which according to the above definition should occur more or less at the same time. The second group (II) of hybrid processes contains processes where a controlled combination of effects occurs that are conventionally caused by separated processes. For example, in grind-hardening, removal is combined with controlled hardening due to the induced heat of the grinding process.
