This study aims to minimize electrode wear (EW) and maximize material removal rate (MRR) in powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) process of 9CrSi alloy steel with silicon carbide powder. To achieve these objectives, Taguchi method and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) are applied to optimize one two-level and four three-level PMEDM process parameters, including Ton, Toff, CP, IP and SV in eighteen experiments based on an orthogonal array L18 (21 and 43). Results have provided a set of optimal PMEDM process parameters in which Ton has the strongest effect on SW and MRR while that of CP is insignificant. The obtained minimum EW and maximum MRR have been verified and proven by a PMEDM experiment using optimal process parameters. The proposed method can be further applied to optimize other PMEDM process parameters for different objectives.

The intense demands of nickel chromium case hardened steel (EN-36C) alloy steel in different engineering applications are increasing day by day due to its cheap and easy availability. The effect of different stages of tempering on EN-36C alloy steel has been carried out to check the mechanical behavioural, microstructural properties and residual stresses in the present work. The effect of tempering on response variables viz., material removal rate, surface roughness, tool tip temperature and residual stresses are evaluated. The cosα method is used to measure the residual stresses in the specimen using two-dimensional detectors such as imaging plates. Further, the influence of tempering on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, toughness and percentage elongation has been observed. Experimental results depicted that the ductility and toughness are improved without significant change in hardness in the specimen tempered at 500°C. The mechanical properties of specimens tempered at 500°C are found to be a tensile strength of 680.42 MPa, hardness 92 Rockwell hardness of scale B and toughness 187 J. The maximum value of material removal rate (12596.80 mm3/min), minimum tool tip temperature (61.33°C), average surface roughness ( Ra = 1.93, Rq = 2.36, Rz = 10.30) and lowest residual stress 217 MPa are observed in the specimens tempered at 500°C.
