EDM is a non-conventional machining process with feeding material carried out by electric spark (spark) through a gap between the electrode and the workpiece containing liquid in the electric. The usefulness of the liquid is as a medium for rinsing the remnants of erosion material, electrodes and workpieces as electrical conductors. In the manufacturing industry, EDM is widely used for the manufacture of products that demand the quality of surface roughness resulting from smooth cutting and high precision. The Taguchi method is one method in experimental design that can be used to control product quality. This study considers 3 parameters, namely gap voltage, on time, and off time on the SKD-11 material as one of the 13 mm thick dies / dies. This study uses the Taguchi method to obtain optimal parameters with smaller criteria better. Based on the table above the highest voltage parameter gap at level 1 which is 30 volts, the parameters at the most agreed time at level 3 are 120 μs and the most difficult off time parameter to be reached at level 1 is 20 μs to roughness.   EDM adalah suatu proses permesinan yang bersifat non konvensional dengan pemakanan material benda kerja yang dilakukan oleh loncatan bunga api listrik (spark) melalui celah antara elektroda dan benda kerja yang berisi cairan di elektrik. Kegunaan cairan tersebut adalah sebagai medium untuk flushing sisa-sisa partikel material hasil erosi,pendinginan elektroda dan benda kerja serta sebagai konduktor listrik.

The machining ability of Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) die-sinking on material characteristics of LM6 (Al-Sil2) is studied. This is due to the machining process on sharp edge, pocket, deep slot and micro hole cannot be performed by milling and turning machine. The objective of this paper is to determine the relationship between the machining parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current and voltage on material removal rate (MRR) that are electrode wear rate (EWR) and surface roughness (Ra). Graphite tool of diameter 15mm was chosen as an electrode. Taguchi method is used as analysis technique to develop experimental matrix that is used to optimize the MRR, EWR and Ra. The analysis was done by using the Minitab software version 16. It is found that the current and pulse off time are significantly effected the MRR, EWR and Ra while pulse on time and voltage are less significant factors that affected the responses. From the Taguchi method, the best setting of optimum value was obtained. Thus, it shows that Taguchi method is the best quality tools that can be applied for production.

— This paper presents an experimental investigation on the influence of cutting parameters of wire cut Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire-EDM) during the machining of tungsten carbide and optimization of machining parameters on kerf width. The investigation was conducted by considering the varying parameter of average machining voltage, spark on time, spark off time, and capacitance with Taguchi method as optimizing technique. L9orthogonal array has been used to determine the S/N ratio, analysis of variance and ‘F’ test values for indicating most significant parameter affecting the machining performance. The significant factors average machining voltage for kerf width. Spark on time, spark off time and capacitance are obtained as insignificant parameters. Further verification of improvements in the quality characteristics has been made through conformation test to the chosen initial parameter setting. The optimal combination of WEDM parameters satisfies the real requirement of quality machining of tungsten carbide.

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.

Biometrics is the one most popular property in human distinguishing proof based on physical or behavioral features. The different physiological characteristics are Fingerprint, DNA, Face, hand, retina, ear features, and odor, where as behavioral characteristics or features are typing rhythm, gait, gesture, and voice with the basic premise that all are unique and all human beings are identified by these intrinsic traits. In the physiological traits, Fingerprint is most commonly utilized the biometric feature in diverse fields for identification and verification purpose. Fingerprint features can be separated into three noteworthy classifications in view of the granularity at which they are removed as level 1, level 2, and level 3 features. Level 1 feature contains macro details, which are easily extractable and include orientation filed, ridge frequency filed and pattern configuration. Only these global features or Level 1 features are not sufficient to uniquely identify or recognize, but if these features are used along with level 2 or level 3 features, that can make the fingerprint recognition system more robust and secure. Level1 features are used for image enhancement and orientation purpose. In this paper, we made a survey of existing literature on Level 1 features and try to analyze other researcher's contribution to this field.

This research examines whether knowledge about floral preservatives increases consumers’ perception of quality, purchase intention, and price of a floral arrangement. A survey was administered to 222 participants at two locations in Manhattan, KS. Seventy-three percent of respondents fell within Generation Y (18 to 30 years old). The survey instrument presented four levels of presentation of a floral arrangement that were associated with increasing knowledge about the use of floral preservatives on consumers’ perceptions about the quality and price of that arrangement, as follows: Level 1 showed a photo of a floral arrangement without preservatives; Level 2 showed the same photo of a floral arrangement with a small, unlabeled packet of preservatives; Level 3 showed the same photo of a floral arrangement with a large, clearly labeled packet of preservatives; and Level 4 showed the same photos as Level 3 but was presented after a 191-word message describing the three functions of floral preservatives. Participants of the survey rated the quality of a floral arrangement higher from Level 2 (presence of floral preservatives not explicit) to Level 3 (presence of floral preservatives explicit) and from Level 3 to Level 4 (after reading a message about floral preservatives’ function and effectiveness). Their intent to purchase the floral arrangement generally increased with each level of presentation. Females indicated intention to purchase flowers more frequently than males. Participants increased the price that they were willing to pay for the floral arrangement at each level of presentation, starting at $25.46 at Level 1 (no floral preservatives use indicated) to $29.19 at Level 4. Participants were more knowledgeable about the benefits of floral preservatives and believed that floral preservatives increased the value of floral arrangements after reading a message describing their function and effectiveness more so than before reading a message. The younger the respondent, the more willing they were to pay more for floral arrangements with floral preservatives. As consumers become more aware of the use of floral preservatives and more knowledgeable about how and why they are effective, they attribute higher quality to floral arrangements with preservatives, they are willing to pay more for arrangements with preservatives, and their purchase intention frequency increases. Florists should always use preservatives in their processing and construction of fresh floral arrangements, consider providing a message about the function and effectiveness of floral preservatives to their customers, and then market their use of these materials.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non-traditional cutting technique for metals removing which is relied upon the basic fact that negligible tool force is produced during the machining process. Also, electrical discharge machining is used in manufacturing very hard materials that are electrically conductive. Regarding the electrical discharge machining procedure, the most significant factor of the cutting parameter is the surface roughness (Ra). Conventional try and error method is time consuming as well as high cost. The purpose of the present research is to develop a mathematical model using response graph modeling (RGM). The impact of various parameters such as (current, pulsation on time and pulsation off time) are studied on the surface roughness in the present research. 27 samples were run by using CNC-EDM machine which used for cutting steel 304 with dielectric solution of gas oil by supplied DC current values (10, 20, and 30A). Voltage of (140V) uses to cut 1.7mm thickness of the steel and use the copper electrode. The result from this work is useful to be implemented in industry to reduce the time and cost of Ra prediction. It is observed from response table and response graph that the applied current and pulse on time have the most influence parameters of surface roughness while pulse off time has less influence parameter on it. The supreme and least surface roughness, which is achieved from all the 27 experiments is (4.02 and 2.12µm), respectively. The qualitative assessment reveals that the surface roughness increases as the applied current and pulse on time increases

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) produces complex shapes and permits high-precision machining of any hard or difficult-to-cut materials. The performance characteristics such as surface roughness and microstructure of the machined face are influenced by numerous parameters. The selection of parameters becomes complicated. Thus, the surface roughness (Ra) and microstructure of the machined surface in EDM on Grade 6 titanium alloy are studied is this study. The experimental work is performed using copper as electrode material. The polarity of the electrode is maintained as negative. The process parameters taken into account in this study are peak current (Ip), pulse-on time (Ton), pulse-off time (Toff), and servo-voltage (Sv). A smooth surface finish is found at low pulse current, small on-time and high off-time. The servo-voltage affects the roughness diversely however, a finish surface is found at 80 V Sv. Craters, cracks and globules of debris are appeared in the microstructure of the machined part. The size and degree of craters as well as cracks increase with increasing in energy level. Low discharge energy yields an even surface. This approach helps in selecting proper process parameters resulting in economic EDM machining.
