Traditional Process

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a non-traditional process used mainly to cut hard or difficult to cut metals, where the application of a more traditional process is not convenient. Those difficult to cut metals demand high energy to form chips, which can result in thermal effects due to the high temperatures inherent to the process in the chip–tool interface. In traditional processes, the heat generated during the cut is dissipated to the tool, chip, workpiece and environment, affecting the surface integrity of the workpiece, mainly for those hard materials. In this work, experimental investigations have been made on the various influencing parameters involved in the Metal removal rate (MRR) and Surface roughness using ECM on AISI 202 steel. The major intervening parameters are studied and the relationship between the parameters has been determined to achieve maximum metal removal rate and minimum surface roughness by using NaNO 3-Aqua solution.

Quality of the product is the major concern in manufacturing industries from customers as well as producers point of view. There are number of factors in the product such as surface condition, height, weight, length, width etc., which may be consider for the measurement of the quality. Surface roughness and Metal Removal Rate (MRR) are the two main outcomes on which numerous researchers have applied different approaches for several years to get optimum results. In this study, Taguchi Method is applied for getting optimum parameters settings for Surface roughness and Metal Removal Rate (MRR) in case of turning AlMg3 (AA5754) in CNC Lathe machine, which is an aluminum alloy having diameter 20 mm and length 100 mm. The three parameters i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut with 3 levels are taken as the process variables and the working ranges of these parameters for conducting experiments are selected based on Taguchi’s L9 Orthogonal Array (OA) design. To analyze the significant process parameters; main effect plots for data means and for S/N ratio are generated using Minitab statistical software.

The integrated electrochemical grinding machining has received wide acceptance in the aircraft turbine industry for the machining of blades, vanes, and honeycomb seal rings. Also, medical devices, instruments and forceps, shells, precision nozzles, instrument coupling, and air rotor motors that produced from stainless steel and new materials have all successfully been accomplished with electrochemical grinding. To improve the metal removal rate and to reduce the surface roughness ( Ra) of the electrochemical grinding at high voltages, an integration between the alumina abrasive jet and the electrochemical grinding machining has been performed. The effect of the Al2O3 abrasive content on the metal removal rate and the Ra of the K110 alloy steel using Everite electrochemical grinding 618 at different voltages, different feed rates, different electrolyte NaCl concentrations, and different depths of the cut were successfully investigated. The results revealed that the abrasive electrochemical grinding was better than the electrochemical grinding results. The maximum effect of the Al2O3 on the metal removal rate was achieved at 5 wt.%. The current density in the machining gap was affected by the addition of the Al2O3, where it was decreased at percentages over 5-wt.% Al2O3. The abrasive electrochemical grinding resulted in lower surface roughness than the electrochemical grinding process.

Multiple Variables

Electro discharge machining (EDM) is one of a thermal process that is used for remove of metal from the workpiece by spark erosion. The work of this machine depends on multiple variables. One of the more influential variants on this machine is the change of polarity and the use of this variable is not wide and the research depends on the polarity of the machinist. Essentially, the polarity of the tool (electrode) is positive and the workpiece is negative, this polarity can be reversed. This paper  focuses on the influence of changing the polarity (positive and negative) on the surface roughness and metal removal rate by using different parameters (current, voltages, polarity and Ton). Experiments show that the positive electrode gives (best surface roughness = 1.56 µm when the current = 5 Am and Ton = 5.5 µs) and (best metal removal rate = 0.0180 g/min when the current = 8 Am and Ton = 25 µs). Negative electrode gives (best surface roughness = 0.46 µm when the current = 5 Am and Ton = 5.5 µs) and (best metal removal rate = 0.00291 g/min when the current = 8 Am and Ton = 25 µs).

Increase the demand to produce complex shapes with high quality and dimensional accuracy such as production aerospace, cars, die sinking has been leading to increase the demand to use the non- traditional cutting operations such as wire electro-discharge machine (WEDM) rather than using the traditional operations. An idea to understand the effect of wire diameter, wire feed, pulsing (on/off) time on surface roughness, and metal removal rate of Cr-Mo steel during wire electrical discharge machining was investigated. Two Steel alloy samples with dimensions of (60 x50 x 20)mm were cut into four rectangular spaces with (5x10x20)mm at one side of each sample using wire cut (EDM) machine with a wire diameter of 0.25 mm and feeding rate 2 m/min for sample 1 and a 0.3 mm diameter and 3 m/min feeding rate for sample 2. Pulse (on, off) time was (110, 50), (112, 52), (115, 55), (116, 57) corresponds to space 1, space 2, space 3, and space 4 in both steel block. Surface roughness and metal removal rate measurements were estimated. The results showed that wire diameter, feeding rate, and pulse (on, off) time is proportional with metal removal rate, while reversed with surface roughness. The wire diameter of 0.3 mm and a feeding rate of 3m/min enhanced better surface quality and productivity. Pulse (on, off) time is the most effective parameter. Best duration time was recorded at the values (116, 57).

The CBN grinding wheels with different porosity, which used 100/120 CBN grind grain and 15μm glass powder as main starting materials, pore creating material as auxiliary material, were prepared by conventional sintering technology; Used GCr15 bearing steel which quenching hardness was 60HRC as ground materials, investigated the effect of porosity of CBN wheel on its cutting ability. In this paper , the metal removal rate was measured by electronic analytical balance, surface roughness of GCr15 was analyzed used LEXT laser scanning confocal microscope and the surface topography of grinding face was observed used scanning electron microscope. The investigated results showed that the metal removal rate acutely increasing with the porosity of wheels increasing in same loading weight, it reached 0.445g/min with 41% porosity in 3500g loading weight, at the same time, the difference of surface roughness caused by variation of porosity of CBN grinding wheel was slight, it did not severely lower machining precision of workpiece.
