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.

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). Keywords: EDM, Material removal rate, Surface roughness, Tool wear rate,

Electrical discharge turning is a unique form of electrical discharge machining process, which is being especially developed to generate cylindrical forms and helical profiles on the difficult-to-machine materials at both macro and micro levels. A precise submerged rotating spindle as a work holding system was designed and added to a conventional electrical discharge machine to rotate the workpiece. A conductive preshaped strip of copper as a forming tool is fed (reciprocate) continuously against the rotating workpiece; thus, mirror image of the tool is formed on the circumference of the workpiece. The machining performance of electrical discharge turning process is defined and influenced by its machining parameters, which directly affects the quality of the machined component. This study presents an investigation on the effects of the machining parameters, namely, pulse-on time, peak current, gap voltage, spindle speed and flushing pressure, on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) in electrical discharge turning of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. This has been done by means of Taguchi’s design of experiment technique. Analysis of variance as well as regression analysis is performed on the experimental data. The signal-to-noise ratio analysis is employed to find the optimal condition. The experimental results indicate that peak current, gap voltage and pulse-on time are the most significant influencing parameters that contribute more than 90% to material removal rate. In the context of Ra, peak current and pulse-on time come up with more than 82% of contribution. Finally, the obtained predicted optimal results were verified experimentally. It was shown that the error values are all less than 6%, confirming the feasibility and effectiveness of the adopted approach.

This paper represents the optimization method utilized in machining process for figuring out the most advantageous manner design. Typically, the technique layout parameters in machining procedures are noticeably few turning parameters inclusive of reducing velocity, feed and depth. The optimization of speed, feed depth of cut is very tough because of several other elements associated with processing situations and form complexities like surface Roughness, material removal rate (MRR) that are based Parameters. On this task a new fabric glass fibre composite is introduced through which could lessen costing of manufacturing and time and additionally it will boom the technique of productiveness. Composite substances have strength, stiffness, light weight, which gives the large scope to engineering and technology. The proposed research work targets to analyze turning parameters of composite material. The machining parameters are very important in manufacturing industries. The present research work is optimized surface roughness of composite material specifically in turning procedure with the aid of changing parameter including intensity of reduce, slicing velocity and feed price and additionally expect the mechanical houses of composite material. The RSM optimization is important because it evaluates the effects of multiple factors and their interactions on one or more responsive variables. It is observed that the material removal rate increases and surface roughness decreases as per the increase of Spindle speed and feed rate.

Comparing with conventional WEDM in emulsion, dry finishing of high-speed WEDM (HS-WEDM) has advantages such as higher material removal rate, better surface roughness and straightness. Authors have presented a new procedure as gas-liquid combined multiple cut, in which roughing is processed in dielectric liquid, and semi-finishing is in liquid or gas, while finishing is in gas. For better understanding the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness and cutting speed in dry finishing, a L25(56) Design was implemented. The analysis of variance shows that the effect of pulse duration on surface roughness is of high significance, and peak current is of significance respectively, and the effect of no load worktable feed on cutting speed is high significant.
