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.


In the present work, the effect of process parameters on material removal rate during the machining of aluminium alloy (5086) with WEDM is studied. The four control parameter were selected i.e pulse on time (TON), pulse off time (TOFF), peak current (IP), and spark gap voltage (SV) to investigate their effects on material removal rate (MRR). Each control parameter had three levels. Total 27 experiments were done with a zinc coated brass wire of diameter 0.25 mm. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array technique was used for the experiment. ANOVA was used to find out the significance of control parameters and their contribution on MRR. It was found that maximum material removal rate was 41.52 mm3 /min which was due to high pulse on time and low pulse off time.

This work is done to determine the effects of the input factors of powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) process on the material removal rate (MRR). In the study, the workpiece is cylindrical parts made from 90CrSi alloy steel. Also, five factors containing the pulse on time Ton, the powder concentration Cp, the pulse off time Toff, the pulse current IP, and the server voltage SV were discovered to find their impact on MRR. In addition, the Taguchi method and ANOVA analysis were used to design experiment and analyze the results. In addition, an optimal model of the MRR was introduced. Also, the model has been well verified by comparison with testing, and so it can be used for further studies in the PMEDM process.

Magnesium alloys are used in many applications, particularly in orthopaedic implants are very difficult to machine by conventional processes because of their complex 3D structure and limited slip system at room temperature. Hence there is an inherent need for alternative processes for machining such intricate profiles. Electric Discharge Machining is growing rapidly in tool rooms, die shops and even in general shop floors of modern industries to facilitate complex machining for difficult-to-machine materials and provide better surface integrity. Therefore, the use of electric discharge machining on ZM21 magnesium alloy is attempted in this paper. Nanographite powder is added for machining zone to enhance the electrical conductivity of EDM oil by way it improves the machining performance. Machining parameters such as the current, pulse on time and pulse off time were process parameters to explore their effects on the material removal rate and tool wear rate. It is observed that, an increased material removal rate was due to the enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity of the EDM oil.

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.

In the present work, an investigation has been made into the electrical discharge machining process during machining of precipitation hardening stainless steel PH17-4. Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout, to analyze the effect of each process parameter on machining characteristics and to predict the optimal choice for each electrical discharge machining process parameters namely, peak current, pulse on time and pulse off time that give up optimal process performance characteristics such as material removal rate, surface roughness, tool wear rate and surface hardness. To identify the significance of parameters on measured response, the analysis of variance has been done. It is found that parameters peak current and pulse on time have the significant affect on material removal rate, surface roughness, tool wear rate and surface hardness. However, parameter pulse off time has significant affect on material removal rate. Confirmation tests are conducted at their respective optimum parametric settings to verify the predicted optimal values of performance characteristics.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is relatively modern machining process having distinct advantages over other machining processes and able to machine Ti-alloys effectively. This paper attempts to investigate the effects of process parameters on output response of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V in EDM utilizing copper tungsten as an electrode and positive polarity of the electrode. Mathematical models for material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR) and surface roughness (SR) are developed in this paper. Design of experiments method and response surface methodology techniques are implemented. The validity test of the fit and adequacy of the proposed models has been carried out through analysis of variance. It can be seen that as the peak current increases the TWR decreases till certain ampere and then increases. The excellent surface finish is investigated in this study at short pulse on time and in contrast the long pulse duration causes the lowest EWR. Long pulse off time provides minimum EWR and the impact of pulse interval on EWR depends on peak current. The result leads to wear rate of electrode and economical industrial machining by optimizing the input parameters. It found that the peak current, servo voltage and pulse on time are significant in material removal rate and surface roughness. Peak current has the greater impact on surface roughness and material removal rate.
