This paper aims to find the impact of Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) factors on material removal rate (MRR) for 90CrSi alloy steel. Five three-level factors including pulse on time (Ton), pulse off time (Toff), pulse current (IP), server voltage (SV), and diameter of work-piece (dw) are investigated to explore their contribution on MRR by using Taguchi method in twenty-seven experiments based on an orthogonal array L27 (35). The findings realize that MRR is the most affected by the pulse current while the effect of the dw is the smallest. Based on ANOVA analysis, an optimal model of MRR has been developed and verified by comparing with the experiment result. The applicability of this proposed method can be used for further studies in EDM process.

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.

The machining of superalloys has put really a challenge for technologists and researchers. The conventional techniques of machining do not give satisfactory performance for machining of superalloys. In this paper, the results of an experimental study for cutting of Inconel 718 superalloy with wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) have been presented. Three different wire materials along with important input process parameters namely peak current, servo voltage, pulse on time and pulse off time have been selected. The effect of these parameters on material removal rate has been investigated by using well know experimental technique called response surface methodology. The experimental results indicate that zinc-coated brass wire is most suitable for Inconel 718. An empirical model has been developed for correlating input parameters and material removal rate for zinc-coated brass wire. Analysis of variance has also been presented.

The electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of non - conventional machining process where the erosion of the work piece take place based on the thermal energy between the electrode and the work piece. Due to the widely used and its availability, copper and aluminium was used in this study. These two materials was machined using die sinking EDM to study the characteristics of each material using copper electrode. Few research has been conducted to study copper electrode to machined copper work piece and this was considered as a challenge in this research. More heat was generated and more time consumed was the reason behind machining small depth in this research. The important factors such as discharge current, voltage, pulse on time and pulse off time monitored and recorded to know how these factors effect on the Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Tool Wear Ratio (TWR) of the copper and aluminium work piece material. The experiments conducted under the designed full factorial procedure where pulse on-time and pulse current are used as the input parameters. It was found that material MRR increases with increase in current and pulse duration, but MRR is higher during machining of aluminum than that of copper. In term of TWR it is found that the TWR resulting of machining copper is lower than aluminium

In aerospace and automobile industries manufacturing complex structures using un-conventional machining is increased due to their precision and accuracy. This research investigates the influence of input parameters such as discharge current, pulse on time, pulse off time and servo speed rate of wire cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) on material removal rate and surface roughness using Box Behnken design supported with response surface methodology. Aluminium alloy 7075 reinforced with 9 % wt. of activated carbon composite is used to carry out the machining process. Most influencing parameters are subjected as the conductive and non-conductive parameters in WEDM process. To find out the significant influence of each factor, analysis of variance was performed. The mathematical model is established using desirability technique and then the optimal machining parameters are determined. The best achieved WEDM performances - material removal rate and surface roughness are 10.46 mm3/min and 3.32μm respectively, by using optimum machining conditions - discharge current 2000mA, pulse on time 8.9µs, pulse off time 25µs and servo speed rate 150rpm at 0.8597 desirability value.

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.
