The present article focused on the surface characterization of electric discharge machined duplex stainless steel (DSS-2205) alloy with three variants of electrode material (Graphite, Copper-Tungsten and Tungsten electrodes). Experimentation was executed as per Taguchi L18 orthogonal array to inspect the influence of electric discharge machining (EDM) parameters on the material removal rate and surface roughness. The results revealed that the discharge current (contribution: 45.10%), dielectric medium (contribution: 18.24%) majorly affects the material removal rate, whereas electrode material (contribution: 38.72%), pulse-on-time (contribution: 26.11%) were the significant parameters affecting the surface roughness. The machined surface at high spark energy in EDM oil portrayed porosity, oxides formation, and intermetallic compounds. Moreover, a pin-on-disc wear analysis was executed and the machined surface exhibits 70% superior wear resistance compared to the un-machined sample. The surface thus produced also exhibited improved surface wettability responses. The outcomes depict that EDMed DSS alloy can be considered in the different biomedical and industrial applications.

Ultraviolet Curable

Ultraviolet-curable resin was introduced as a bonding agent into the fabrication process of precision abrasive machining tools in this study, aiming to deliver a rapid, flexible, economical, and environment-friendly additive manufacturing process to replace the hot press and sintering process with thermal-curable resin. A laboratory manufacturing process was established to develop an ultraviolet-curable resin bond diamond lapping plate, the machining performance of which on the ceramic workpiece was examined through a series of comparative experiments with slurry-based iron plate lapping. The machined surface roughness and weight loss of the workpieces were periodically recorded to evaluate the surface finish quality and the material removal rate. The promising results in terms of a 12% improvement in surface roughness and 25% reduction in material removal rate were obtained from the ultraviolet-curable resin plate-involved lapping process. A summarized hypothesis was drawn to describe the dynamically-balanced state of the hybrid precision abrasive machining process integrated both the two-body and three-body abrasion mode.

An investigation was carried out to find out the influence of process parameters on surface roughness (SR) and material removal rate (MRR) in electric discharge machine of Al-7%Si-4%Mg with 20% of red mud Metal Matrix Composites since electric discharge machining is a thermo-electric machining process, an electronic die sinking electric discharge machine was used to drill holes in the composite work piece, copper is used as tool material. Experiment was carried out to find surface roughness, material removal rate and tool wear rate by varying the peak current, flushing pressure of dielectric fluid and pulse on time. It was found that the surface roughness of composite metal increases with the increase peak current ,pulse on time and flushing pressure due larger and deeper craters on the drilled surface. It was also found that there was increase in metal removal rate with the increase in peak current and flushing pressure and slightly decreases with the increase in pulse on time due carbon deposits on the electrodes. Experimental analysis is carried using Taguchi’s Design of Experiment method with various parameters like peak current, flushing pressure of dielectric fluid and pulse on time to identify the key factors that influence the surface roughness, material removal rate and tool wear rate. It was found that the peak current was the most significant parameter that influences surface roughness, material removal rate and tool wear rate. The Taguchi experiments results confirm the actual results obtained from the numerical calculation.

Research Results

In chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of ultra-thin stainless steel, the oxidant of polishing slurry determines the material removal rate (MRR). In this paper, the influences of oxidant in slurry on MRR and surface roughness have been studied in CMP of ultra-thin 304 stainless steel based on alumina (Al2O3) abrasive. The research results show that, in the same conditions, the MRR increases with the increase of the oxidant C and the oxidant B, the MRR decreases with the increase of the oxidant A and the MRR is max with the oxidant C. It indicated that the oxidant C has a large effect on MRR in CMP of the 304 stainless steel. The research results can provide the reference for studying the slurry in CMP of ultra-thin stainless steel.

Fixed Abrasive

To improve the machining efficiency as well as surface roughness, a series of experiments employed fixed abrasive tools are carried out for stainless steel substrate, and influences of properties of fixed abrasive tool on the lapping process are studied. It is found that the resin is the best bonding material in this study. The surface roughness under different concentration of bonding material is similar, and the material removal rate (MRR) increases as the concentration of bonding material decreases from 50% to 20%. But too little of bonding material results into low bond strength that causing low material removal rate. It is also found that higher shear strength, lower wear rate, and the shear strength of the tool with 35% bonding material is the highest. It is obvious that the surface roughness and material removal rate decline as the grit size decreases. The roughness of surface lapped with resin bonded 4000# SiC abrasive tool comes to 18nm, and the material removal rate is 0.63μm/min.

Ultrasonic vibration assisted processing is well known for the improvement in machined surface quality and processing efficiency due to the reduced forces and tribology-generated heating when grinding hard-brittle materials. We transplanted this philosophy to chemo-mechanical fixed abrasive polishing of optical glass, namely fused silica, in an attempt to improve surface roughness and/or material removal rate. Experiments were conducted to elucidate the fundamental characteristics of chemo-mechanical fixed abrasive polishing of fused silica in the presence and absence of ultrasonic vibration on a setup with an in-house built gadget. The experimental results show that ultrasonic vibration assisted chemo-mechanical fixed abrasive polishing can yield increased material removal rate while maintaining the surface roughness of manufactured optics compared to conventional fixed abrasive polishing without ultrasonic vibration. The mechanism of material removal in fixed abrasive polishing was also delved. We found that the glass material is removed through the synergic effects of chemical and mechanical actions between abrasives and glass and the resultant grinding swarf contains ample Si element as well as Ce element, standing in stark contrast to the polisher that contains abundant Ce element and minor Si element.

Az61 Magnesium Alloy

Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (WCEDM) is a novel method for machining different materials with application of electrical energy by the movement of wire electrode. For this work, an AZ61 magnesium alloy with reinforcement of boron carbide and silicon carbide in different percentage levels was used and a plate was formed through stir casting technique. The process parameters of the stir casting process are namely reinforcement %, stirring speed, time of stirring, and process temperature. The specimens were removed from the casted AZ61 magnesium alloy composites through the Wire Cut Electric Discharge Machining (WCEDM) process, the material removal rate and surface roughness vales were carried out creatively. L 16 orthogonal array (OA) was used for this work to find the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness. The process parameters of WCEDM are pulse on time (105, 110, 115 and 120 µs), pulse off time (40, 50, 60 and 70 µs), wire feed rate (2, 4, 6 and 8 m/min), and current (3, 6, 9 and 12 Amps). Further, this study aimed to estimate the maximum ultimate tensile strength and micro hardness of the reinforced composites using the Taguchi route.
