Abstract
Micromachining is one of the latest technology in the coming prospect in which removal of metal is done with least energy consumption. To overcome the environmental related issues the method of machining is replaced by a new term i.e. biomachining. In biomachining process the metal removal is done with the help of metabolic activity of microorganisms consuming very less amount of energy, no addition of any coolant and no generation of heat during the process of machining. Current study indicates the removal of Aluminium alloy 4004 with the help of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The experiment has been run at room temperature for regular interval of 24 h till first 7 days. Specific Metal Removal Rate (SMRR) is analyzed as a performance indicator to conform its future scope.
