The present experimental study has been focused to evaluate surface characteristics of cryogenically-treated (shallow/deep) tool-electrodes using powder mixed electric discharge machining. Due to the continuously growing demand of complex and precise parts, tool-electrodes have its own importance, because quality of the machined parts depends upon the surface quality of electrode. On the analogy, eighteen experiments were performed based on L18orthogonal array of Taguchi’s methodology, which consist eight input parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to designate the level of significance of input parameters. Electrode material has maximum influence followed by the current and pulse on-time on electrode finish. The combination of optimum factor’s level of identified parameters was determined using Taguchi’s technique for single response. Confirmation experiments were conducted using suggested optimal parameters with its respective level to minimize the tool-electrode surface roughness. Surface characteristics of tool-electrodes were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectrograph (EDS) followed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) on selected samples. The results exposed that significant material transfer from workpiece and powder mixed dielectric fluid in compound form on the tool surface.

The current study surveys the results of using deionized water and kerosene as dielectrics in the machining outputs of γ-TiAl intermetallic compound obtained in electric discharge machining. Influences of these different dielectrics properties on machining speed, tool wear, surface cracks and roughness were compared. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs were prepared to investigate influences of dielectrics on the surface characteristics of electrically discharged samples. Results indicate which by kerosene dielectric; the material removal rate (MRR) is further compared to another one. But deionized water as dielectric causes higher tool wear ratio than kerosene dielectric. Electrical discharged samples in deionized water have higher surface roughness, in addition it contains surface cracks, whereas kerosene dielectric results better surface finish in low pulse current. According to XRD spectra electric discharge machining in deionized water and kerosene dielectrics produces Ti3 Al intermetallic compound on the produced surface.

The Powder-Mixed Near-Dry Electric Discharge Machining (PMND-EDM) methodology has proven to be efficient in terms of machining rate, surface morphology, and environmental friendliness, unlike traditional EDM. In this study, the presence of a conductive metallic powder (zinc) in the dielectric medium was responsible for changing the topography of the workpiece (EN-31) and resulted in a higher micro-hardness value of the machined component. In this research, an approach has been made to optimize the significant process parameters by using a Taguchi L9 orthogonal array (OA) to obtain machined components with higher values of micro-hardness, which was measured in terms of Vickers hardness HV. The selected process parameters were tool diameter, mist flow rate, metallic powder concentration, and dielectric mist pressure. By introducing foreign particles (metallic powder), the topography of the machined products has been improved, and the micro-hardness value was found to be enhanced. The confirmation experiment was performed for optimal process parameter settings, and the enhanced microhardness value was found to be 506.63 HV in the machined EN-31 die steel.
