Copper based metal matrix composite reinforced with Boron Carbide is a newly developed Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) electrode showing better performance than the conventional copper based electrode. Right selection of machining parameters such as current, pulse on time and pulse off time is one of the most important aspects in EDM. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop mathematical models for relating the Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Removal Rate (TRR) and Surface roughness (Ra) to machining parameters (current, pulse-on time and pulse-off time). Furthermore, a study was carried out to analyze thSubscript texte effects of machining parameters on various performance parameters such as, MRR, TRR and Ra. The results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) indicate that the proposed mathematical models, can adequately describe the performance within the limits of the factors being studied. Response surface modeling is used to develop surface and contour graphs to analyze the effects of EDM input parameters on outer parameters.

This paper presents the estimation of kerf width in micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro WEDM) in terms of machining parameters of capacitance and gap voltage. An empirical model is developed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) of experimental data. Using a wire electrode of 70 µm diameter, a minimum kerf width is found to be 92 µm for the micro WEDM parameters of 0.01 µF capacitance and 90.25 V gap voltage. Around 30% increament of the kerf is found to be high. The analysis also revealed that the capacitance is more influential parameter than gap voltage on kerf width produced by micro WEDM. As the gap voltage determines the breakdown distance and affects the wire vibration, the wire vibration factor is to be considered in the analysis and in formulation of model in future study.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a thermo-electrical process that can be conveniently utilized for generating complex shaped profiles on hard-to-machine conductive materials using metallic tool electrodes. In this work, composite tools made of copper-tungsten-boron carbide (Cu-W-B4C) manufactured by powder metallurgy (PM) route are used during machining of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). The effect of four input machining parameters viz. current, pulse-on-time, duty cycle and percentage of tungsten and boron carbide on material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (Ra) is studied. A novel meta-heuristic approach such as simple optimization (SOPT) algorithm has been used for single and multi-objective optimization. The pareto-optimal solutions obtained by SOPT have been ranked by VIKOR method to find out the best suitable optimal solution. Analysis of experimental data suggests vital information for controlling the machining parameters to improve the machining performance.

Although electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the first established non-conventional machining processes, it still finds many applications in the modern industry, due to its capability of machining any electrical conductive material in complex geometries with high dimensional accuracy. The current study presents an experimental investigation of ED machining aluminum alloy Al5052. A full-scale experimental work was carried out, with the pulse current and pulse-on time being the varying machining parameters. The polishing and etching of the perpendicular plane of the machined surfaces was followed by observations and measurements in optical microscope. The material removal rate (MRR), the surface roughness (SR), the average white layer thickness (AWLT), and the heat affected zone (HAZ) micro-hardness were calculated. Through znalysis of variance (ANOVA), conclusions were drawn about the influence of machining conditions on the EDM performances. Finally, semi empirical correlations of MRR and AWLT with the machining parameters were calculated and proposed.
