The application of powder mixed dielectric to improve the efficiency of electrical discharge machining (EDM) has been acknowledged extensively. However, the study of micro-size powder suspension in micro-EDM field is still limited. In this research, nano and micro size powder of MoS2 were used as catalyst agent. Powder suspension in different size was able to provide significant improvement in material removal rate and surface quality to increase the efficiency in μ- EDM processes.

The micro-electrical discharge machining process is hindered by low material removal rate and low surface quality, which bound its capability. The assistance of ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force in micro-electrical discharge machining helps to overcome this limitation and increase the stability of the machining process. In the present research, an attempt has been made on Taguchi based GRA optimization for µEDM assisted with ultrasonic vibration and magnetic pulling force while µEDM of SKD-5 die steel with the tubular copper electrode. The process parameters such as ultrasonic vibration, magnetic pulling force, tool rotation, energy and feed rate have been chosen as process variables. Material removal rate and taper of the feature have been selected as response measures. From the experimental study, it has been found that response output measures have been significantly improved by 18% as compared to non assisted µEDM. The best optimal combination of input parameters for improved performance measures were recorded as machining with ultrasonic vibration (U1), 0.25 kgf of magnetic pulling force (M1), 600 rpm of tool rotation (R2), 3.38 mJ of energy (E3) and 1.5 mm/min of Tool feed rate (F3). The confirmation trail was also carried out for the validation of the results attained by Grey Relational Analysis and confirmed that there is a substantial improvement with both assistance applied simultaneously.

This paper investigated the multi performance characteristics of wire electrical discharge machining for an optimal machining parameters to get low kerf and high material removal rate at the same time. The machining parameters i.e arc on time, on time, servo voltage and wire feed were used in this experiment. Based on L9 orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to study the machining parameters of DIN 1.2510 tool steel. Multi response characteristics were solved by Taguchi method combined grey relational analysis. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method i.e. kerf decreased from 354 μm to 345 μm, while material removal rate (MRR) increased from 9,313 mm3/min to 13,989 mm3/min. From the optimization result validated in the confirmation experiment the machining parameters combination that could produce the optimum responses are arc on time of 2 A, pulse on time of 8 μs, servo voltage 80 V and wire feed 60 mm/min.

Electrical discharge machining is an essential process in the domain of micromachining. However, many issues need to be solved to implement it in the industrial field. Increasing the machining rate still remains a challenging task in case of micro electrical discharge machining. It becomes impossible to machine a microfeature at a larger depth. Numerous investigators have investigated the positive effect of assistance such as magnetic field and ultrasonic vibration. This paper the discusses machining performance by simultaneously applying the ultrasonic vibration and magnetic field to the machining zone in micro-electrical discharge machining. The process performance is analyzed by measuring the performance characteristics such as material removal rate and taper of the microfeature. The results confirmed that the cumulative effect of each assistance ends in a better material removal rate and low taper of the microfeature.
