Machining Parameters

Abstract: The proper selection of machining conditions and machining parameter is an important aspect, before going to machine a carbon-fiber composite material by Die sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM). Because these conditions will determine such important characteristics as; Material removal rate (MRR), Electrode wears rate (EWR), and Surface roughness (R). The purpose of this work is to determine the optimal values of machining parameters of electrical discharge machine, while machining carbon-fiber-composite with copper electrode. The work has been based on the affect of four design factors: pulse current(Ip) supplied by power supply system of electrical discharge machine (EDM), pulse-on-time(TON), gap voltage(Vg) and duty cycle () on such characteristic like material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate(EWR), and surface roughness(Ra) on work-piece surface. This work has been done by means of the technique of design of experiment (DOE), which provides us to perform the above-mentioned analysis with small number of experiments. In this work, a L9 orthogonal array is used to design the experiment. The adequate selection of machining parameters is very important in manufacturing system, because these parameters determine the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured part. The optimal setting of the parameters are determined through experiments planned, conducted and analyzed using the Taguchi method. It is found that material removal rate (MRR) reduces substantially, within the region of experimentation, if the parameters are set at their lowest values, while the parameters set at their highest values increases electrode wear rate (EWR).

The objective of the present work is to investigate the effects of various WEDM process parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, corner servo, flushing pressure, wire feed rate, wire tension, spark gap voltage and servo feed on the material removal rate (MRR) & Surface Roughness (SR) and to obtain the optimal settings of machining parameters at which the material removal rate (MRR) is maximum and the Surface Roughness (SR) is minimum in a range. In the present investigation, Inconel 825 specimen is machined by using brass wire as electrode and the response surface methodology (RSM) is for modeling a second-order response surface to estimate the optimum machining condition to produce the best possible response within the experimental constraints.

Electro discharge machining is a non-traditional machining process used for machining hard-to-machine materials, such as various grades of titanium alloys, heat-treated alloy steels, composites, tungsten carbides, and so forth. These materials are hard to machine with customary machining procedures like drilling, milling and hence electro-discharge machining is used to machine such materials to get better quality and efficiency. These materials are generally utilized in current industries like die making industries, aeronautics, nuclear industries, and medical fields. This type of machining is thermalbased, and machining takes place due to repetitive electric sparks that generate between workpiece and tool. Both tools and workpieces are inundated in a dielectric liquid, which has two primary functions. In the first place, it behaves like a medium between the work metal and the tool. Second, it is a flushing agent to expel the machined metal from the machined zone. Machining parameters like a pulse on time, current, wire feed the tool and gap voltage affect the output responses like surface roughness and material removal rate. The material removal rate is a significant parameter that determines machining efficiency. Surface roughness is also a vital parameter that decides machining quality. A lot of research has been conducted to determine the optimum parameters for obtaining the best results. In the present work, a comprehensive review of different types of EDM and the effect of various machining parameters on the surface roughness, material removal rate, and other response parameters has been done.
