In this paper, the effect of cutting parameters during micromilling on surface finish and material removal rate is presented. Inconel 718 alloy and high-speed steel micro end mill are used as work material and cutting tool, respectively. High-speed steel end mill of 1 mm diameter is subjected to cryogenic treatment. Machining studies are performed on Inconel alloy using untreated and cryogenic treated cutters. The milling tests are conducted at three different values of feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut. Also, tool wear, microstructure and microhardness of different treated and untreated end mill are investigated and discussed in detail. The results showed that cryogenic treatment significantly improved the tool wear. The surface finish produced on machining the work-piece is better with the cryogenic treated tools than when compared with the untreated tools. The material removal rate is better with the cryogenic treated tools than when compared with the untreated tools. Improvement in tool life was up to 53.16% for Inconel 718 material when machined with cryogenically treated micro end mill.

Discharge Machining is a non-traditional machining technique and usually applied for hard metals and complex shapes that difficult to machining in the traditional cutting process. This process depends on different parameters that can affect the material removal rate and surface roughness. The electrode material is one of the important parameters in Electro –Discharge Machining (EDM). In this paper, the experimental work carried out by using a composite material electrode and the workpiece material from a high-speed steel plate. The cutting conditions: current (10 Amps, 12 Amps, 14 Amps), pulse on time (100 µs, 150 µs, 200 µs), pulse off time 25 µs, casting technique has been carried out to prepare the composite electrodes copper-sliver. The experimental results showed that Copper-Sliver (weight ratio70:30) gives better results than commonly electrode copper, Material Removal Rate (MRR) Copper-Sliver composite electrode reach to 0.225 gm/min higher than the pure Copper electrode. The lower value of the tool wear rate achieved with the composite electrode is 0.0001 gm/min. The surface roughness of the workpiece improved with a composite electrode compared with the pure electrode.

Nowadays, titanium alloys are achieving a significant interest in the field of aerospace, biomedical, automobile industries especially due to their extremely high strength to weight ratio, corrosive resistance, and ability to withstand higher temperatures. However, titanium alloys are well known for their higher chemical reactive and low thermal conductive nature which, in turn, makes it more difficult to machine especially at high cutting speeds. Hence, optimization of high-speed machining responses of Ti–6Al–4V has been investigated in the present study using a hybrid approach of multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA) integrated with regression and particle swarm approach (PSO). This optimization approach is employed to offer a balance between achieving better surface quality with maintaining an acceptable material removal rate level. The position of global best suggested by the hybrid optimization approach was: Cutting speed 194 m/min, depth of cut of 0.1 mm, feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev, and cutting length of 120 mm. It should be stated that this solution strikes a balance between achieving lower surface roughness in terms of Ra and Rq, with reaching the highest possible material removal rate. Finally, an investigation of the tool wear mechanisms for three studied cases (i.e., surface roughness based, productivity-based, optimized case) is presented to discuss the effectiveness of each scenario from the tool wear perspective.

The mechanism that the magnetic field and the dispersant are helpful to chip removal, to improve the material removal rate (MRR) and to reduce the tool wear rate (TWR) was analyzed in detail.The corresponding experiments were conducted based on theoretical analysis. The experimental results show that adding a certain proportion of dispersant into the dielectric fluid and introducing the magnetic field for high speed small hole drilling by EDM can greatly improve the material removal rate and significantly decrease the tool wear rate.


Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the oldest nontraditional machining processes, commonly used in automotive, aerospace and ship building industries for machining metals that have high hardness, strength and to make complicated shapes that cannot be produced by traditional machining techniques. The process is based on the thermoelectric energy between the work piece and an electrode. EDM is slow compared to conventional machining, low material removal rate, high surface roughness, high tool wear and formation of recast layer are the main disadvantages of the process. Tool wear rate, material removal rate and surface quality are important performance measures in electric discharge machining process. Numbers of ways are explored by researchers for improving and optimizing the output responses of EDM process. The paper summarizes the research on die-sinking EDM relating to the improvements in the output response.

A simulation model of a punch grinding process has been used to determine optimal parameters to reduce grinding cycle time and achieve a constant-temperature no-burn situation. Two basic outputs of the simulation model include arc length of contact and specific material removal rate that are both time-variant. A thermal model is included in the simulation to calculate maximum grinding temperature rise. The simulation-based optimization can help to avoid thermal damage, which includes thermal softening, residual tensile stress, and rehardening burn. The grindability of high speed steel (HSS) is presented in terms of specific grinding energy versus undeformed chip thickness and maximum temperature rise versus specific material removal rate. It is shown that for a given specific material removal rate lower temperatures are achieved when grinding fast and shallow. Higher temperatures, characteristic for slow and deep grinding, soften the material leading to a lower specific grinding energy, especially if grinding is timid. Lowest values of specific grinding energy can be achieved in fast and shallow grinding at aggressive grinding conditions.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional cutting technology that is extensively utilized in contemporary industry, particularly for machining difficult-to-cut materials. EDM may be used to create complicated forms and geometries with great dimensional precision. Titanium alloys are widely used in high-end applications owing to their unique intrinsic characteristics. Nonetheless, they have low machinability. The current paper includes an experimental examination of EDM’s Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials through controlled interstitial element levels) process utilizing a graphite electrode. The pulse-on current (IP) and pulse-on time (Ton) were used as control parameters, and machining performance was measured in terms of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Material Removal Rate (TMRR), and Tool Wear Ratio (TWR). The Surface Roughness (SR) was estimated based on the mean roughness (SRa) and maximum peak to valley height (SRz), while, the EDMed surfaces were also examined using optical and SEM microscopy and cross-sections to determine the Average White Layer Thickness (AWLT). Finally, for the indices above, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted, whilst semi-empirical correlations for the MRR and TMRR were given using the Response Surface Method (RSM). The results show that the pulse-on time is the most significant parameter of the machining process that may increase the MRR up to 354%. Pulse-on current and pulse-on time are shown to have an impact on the surface integrity of the finished product. Furthermore, statistics, SEM, and EDX images on material removal efficiency and tool wear rate are offered to support the core causes of surface and sub-surface damage. The average microhardness of the White Layer (WL) is 1786 HV.


The traditional machining consists of a specific contact between the tool and work piece. As a result of this contact the tool may wear out after a few operations. In addition to that, the MRR (Material Removal Rate), Surface Finish, etc. is also lowered. As a result of these drawbacks, traditional or conventional machining processes cannot be used to machine ceramic based alloys and thus we opt for unconventional machining process. The Electrical Discharge Machine contains of two spaces one is Electrode and other is Work piece. In this concept the among the tool wear rate is moderate and the surface roughness is to be poor. The tool cost is so high. Hence continuously tool modification is not possible. So in the work main objective of the problem is reduced the tool wear rate and increase the MRR. (Material removal rate). So in the case we are consider in the surface roughness. The surface roughness is to be high is the taken in industrial application. So we have focus with surface roughness. These are the considering with in our problems. In our aim is reducing the toll wear and improve the Material Remove rate. In order to addition of graphite in Electrolyte. When added the electrolyte in Graphite the Toll wear rate decrease and increase a material Removal Rate. Finally we have disc the DOE process
