Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most common non-traditional processes for the manufacture of high precision parts and complex shapes. The EDM process depends on the heat energy between the work material and the tool electrode. This study focused on the material removal rate (MRR), the surface roughness, and tool wear in a 304 stainless steel EDM. The composite electrode consisted of copper (Cu) and silicon carbide (SiC). The current effects imposed on the working material, as well as the pulses that change over time during the experiment. When the current used is (8, 5, 3, 2, 1.5) A, the pulse time used is (12, 25) μs and the size of the space used is (1) mm. Optimum surface roughness under a current of 1.5 A and the pulse time of 25 μs with a maximum MRR of 8 A and the pulse duration of 25 μs.

This paper investigates the machinability characteristics of end milling operation to yield minimum tool wear with the maximum material removal rate using RSM. Twenty-seven experimental runs based on Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) were performed by varying the parameters of spindle speed, feed and depth of cut in different weight percentage of reinforcements such as Silicon Carbide (SiC-5%, 10%,15%) and Alumina (Al2O3-5%) in alluminium 7075 metal matrix. Grey relational analysis was used to solve the multi-response optimization problem by changing the weightages for different responses as per the process requirements of quality or productivity. Optimal parameter settings obtained were verified through confirmatory experiments. Analysis of variance was performed to obtain the contribution of each parameter on the machinability characteristics. The result shows that spindle speed and weight percentage of SiC are the most significant factors which affect the machinability characteristics of hybrid composites. An appropriate selection of the input parameters such as spindle speed of 1000 rpm, feed of 0.02 mm/rev, depth of cut of 1 mm and 5% of SiC produce best tool wear outcome and a spindle speed of 1838 rpm, feed of 0.04 mm/rev, depth of cut of 1.81 mm and 6.81 % of SiC for material removal rate.

This research work concentrates on Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) performance evaluation of ZrB2- SiC ceramic matrix composites with different tool materials at various machining parameters. Monolithic ZrB2 possesses lower relative density (98.72%) than composites. ZrB2 with 20 Vol.% of SiC possesses 99.74% of the relative density with improved hardness values. Bend strength and Young’s modulus increase with SiC addition until it reaches 20 Vol% and then decreasing. EDM performance on tool materials of tungsten, niobium, tantalum, graphite and titanium at various levels of pulse on time and pulse off time are analyzed. Graphite produces the best Material removal rate (MRR) for all the workpieces. Tool wear rate decreases with melting point and thermal conductivity of the tool material.

Abstract It is well known that electrical discharge machining can be used in the processing of nonconductive materials. In order to improve the efficiency of machining modern engineering materials, existing electrical discharge machines are constantly being researched and improved or developed. The current machining of non-conductive materials is limited due to the relatively low material removal rate and high surface roughness. A possible technological improvement of electrical discharge machining can be achieved by innovations of existing processes. In this paper, a new approach for machining zirconium oxide is presented. It combines electrical discharge machining with assisting electrode and powder-mixed dielectric. The assisting electrode is used to enable electrical discharge machining of nonconductive material, while the powder-mixed dielectric is used to increase the material removal rate, reduce surface roughness, and decrease relative tool wear. The response surface method was used to generate classical mathematical models, analyzing the output performances of surface roughness, material removal rate and relative tool wear. Verification of the obtained models was performed based on a set of new experimental data. By combining these latest techniques, positive effects on machining performances are obtained. It was found that the surface roughness was reduced by 18%, the metal removal rate was increased by about 12% and the relative tool wear was reduced by up to 6% compared to electrical discharge machining with supported electrode without powder.

Magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining is a hybrid machining process with suitable modification in electrical discharge machining combining the use of magnetic field and fine powder in the dielectric fluid. Aluminum 6061 alloy has found highly significance for the advanced industries like automotive, aerospace, electrical, marine, food processing and chemical due to good corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of weldability. In this present work, magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining setup was fabricated and experiments were performed using one factor at a time approach for aluminum 6061 alloy. The individual effect of machining parameters namely, peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time, powder concentration and magnetic field on material removal rate and tool wear rate was investigated. The effect of peak current was found to be dominant on material removal rate and tool wear rate followed by pulse on time, powder concentration and magnetic field. Increase in material removal rate and tool wear rate was observed with increase in peak current, pulse on time and a decrease in pulse off time, whereas, for material removal rate increases and tool wear rate decreases up to the certain value and follow the reverse trend with an increase in powder concentration. Material removal rate was increased and tool wear rate was decreased with increase in magnetic field.

This paper proposes a sub-aperture grinding tool for loose abrasive computer controlled surfacing, which is designed to perform epicyclic motion and rotate around its centre at a rapid rate, whilst the entire mechanism revolves around a secondary centre at a slower rate. In actual process, the wear of the tool could affect the material removal function, and make the process unstable, thus in fact, it is difficult to make a deterministic manufacturing. The focus of the present paper is on wearing characteristics of sub-aperture tools and the wear evenness as the main objectives. To make a further study, material removal function of the tool is firstly established through theoretically modelling, next, a correlative function with weighted factors is built, which is suitable for specifying the wearing degree of the tool. Finally, to discover the relationship between the material removal rate and the tool wearing characteristics, and to optimize the grinding process, analysis and experiments are then carried out on a K9 glass specimen by means of three kinds of tool materials, i.e., polyurethane pad, aluminum plate and pitch based on the proposed technique and model. The results indicated that the required high efficiency and precision could be achieved by choosing proper processes.
