Ultrasonic vibration aided electrical discharge machining (UEDM) in gas is an electrical discharge machining (EDM) technology, in which gases such as air and oxygen are used as dielectrics and ultrasonic vibration is applied. UEDM in gas can avoid environment pollution, the most serious disadvantage of conventional EDM in kerosene-based oil or other dielectric fluids, and it is environmental-friendly. The technology also possesses virtues of wide applications, high machining efficiency and simple tool electrodes and so on. The principle of UEDM in gas is introduced in this paper. Experiments have been carried out to study the effects of machining parameters on material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness of the workpiece and tool electrode wear ratio (TWR), and the experiments results have also been analyzed.

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.

Micro Electrical Discharge Machining

Shape Memory Alloys are smart materials that tend to remember and return to its original shape when subjected to deformation. These materials find numerous applications in robotics, automotive and biomedical industries. Micromachining of SMAs is often a considerable challenge using conventional machining processes. Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining is a combination of thermal and electrical processes, which can machine any electrically conductive material at micron scale independent of its hardness. It employs dielectric medium such as hydrocarbon oils, deionized water, and kerosene. Using liquid dielectrics has adverse effects on the machined surface causing cracking, white layer deposition, and irregular surface finish. These limitations can be minimized by using a dry dielectric medium such as air or nitrogen gas. This research involves the experimental study of micromachining of Shape Memory Alloys using dry Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining process. The study considers the effect of critical process parameters including discharge voltage and discharge current on the material removal rate and the tool wear rate. A comparison study is performed between the Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining process with using the liquid as well as air as the dielectric medium. In this study, microcavities are successfully machined on shape memory alloys using dry Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining process. The study found that the dry Micro-Electrical Discharge Machining produces a comparatively better surface finish, has lower tool wear and lesser material removal rate compared to the process using the liquid as the dielectric medium. The results of this research could extend the industrial applications of Micro Electrical Discharge Machining processes.

This research work concentrates on Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) performance evaluation of ZrB2- SiC ceramic matrix composites with different tool materials at various machining parameters. Monolithic ZrB2 possesses lower relative density (98.72%) than composites. ZrB2 with 20 Vol.% of SiC possesses 99.74% of the relative density with improved hardness values. Bend strength and Young’s modulus increase with SiC addition until it reaches 20 Vol% and then decreasing. EDM performance on tool materials of tungsten, niobium, tantalum, graphite and titanium at various levels of pulse on time and pulse off time are analyzed. Graphite produces the best Material removal rate (MRR) for all the workpieces. Tool wear rate decreases with melting point and thermal conductivity of the tool material.

Magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining is a hybrid machining process with suitable modification in electrical discharge machining combining the use of magnetic field and fine powder in the dielectric fluid. Aluminum 6061 alloy has found highly significance for the advanced industries like automotive, aerospace, electrical, marine, food processing and chemical due to good corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of weldability. In this present work, magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining setup was fabricated and experiments were performed using one factor at a time approach for aluminum 6061 alloy. The individual effect of machining parameters namely, peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, powder concentration and magnetic field on material removal rate and tool wear rate was investigated. The effect of peak current was found to be dominant on material removal rate and tool wear rate followed by pulse on time, powder concentration and magnetic field. Increase in material removal rate and tool wear rate was observed with increase in peak current, pulse on time and a decrease in pulse off time, whereas, for material removal rate increases and tool wear rate decreases up to the certain value and follow the reverse trend with an increase in powder concentration. Material removal rate was increased and tool wear rate was decreased with increase in magnetic field.

Mg Content

This study presents an experimental investigation of small hole electrical discharge machining of Al-Mg-Ti alloys. A series of drilling operations were carried out for exploring the effect of magnesium content. Holes of 2 mm diameter and 15 mm depth were drilled using tubular single-hole rotary brass electrodes. The rates of material removal and electrode wear, surface roughness, overcut, average recast layer thickness, taper height and angle were studied for Al-Mg-Ti alloys contain 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, 12%, and 14% Mg. The results show that the material removal rate is increasing with increasing Mg content while the rate of electrode wear is almost unchanged. Due to decreasing the melting temperature of the Al-Mg-Ti alloy with increasing Mg content, more metal melts and vaporizes during electrical discharge machining drilling. Therefore, more overcut and taper, thicker white layer, and rougher surfaces were measured for higher Mg content.

Micro Electrical Discharge Machining

The material removal process of micro electrical discharge machining is based on the instantaneous ultra-high temperature generated by a series of repetitive discharge pulses. Due to the size effects, the polycrystal cannot be considered as continuous and homogeneous material when machining is in micron scale, and the effects of material microstructure should not be neglected. In this article, the thermoelectric characteristics of grain and grain boundary are discussed, and the influence of grain size on the machining performances in micro electrical discharge machining is researched. Two kinds of austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304) which are different in grain size are chosen as the workpieces in experiments. It is verified by both theory models and experimental results that the smaller the grain size, the higher the material removal rate, under the same discharge conditions. Both thermal conductivity and melting point of the grain boundary are lower than those of the grain because of the grain boundary segregation. The effective thermal conductivity and local effective melting point of polycrystalline materials vary with their grain sizes since the grain boundary volume fractions change. As a consequence, the material removal rate of micro electrical discharge machining has direct relationship with grain size of the workpiece.
