A new method called submersed gas-jetting EDM was proposed, in which the high-pressure gas working as the dielectric medium, is blown throughout the inner hole of a tubular electrode, and machining liquid around the gas plays significant roles of helping cooling and debris evacuation but doesn’t involve in the discharge directly. Experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of polarity, pulse duration, peak current, gas pressure and different gas/machining liquid combination. The comparison of submersed gas-jetting EDM and dry EDM indicated that this new method revealed higher material removal rate (MRR), better surface quality and equivalently minute electrode wear.

Comparing with conventional WEDM in emulsion, dry finishing of high-speed WEDM (HS-WEDM) has advantages such as higher material removal rate, better surface roughness and straightness. Authors have presented a new procedure as gas-liquid combined multiple cut, in which roughing is processed in dielectric liquid, and semi-finishing is in liquid or gas, while finishing is in gas. For better understanding the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness and cutting speed in dry finishing, a L25(56) Design was implemented. The analysis of variance shows that the effect of pulse duration on surface roughness is of high significance, and peak current is of significance respectively, and the effect of no load worktable feed on cutting speed is high significant.

An investigation has been made into the machining feasibility when wire electro-discharge machining with an extremely high travelling speed of wire electrode (WEDM-HS) has been employed to process particle-reinforced 6061 Al matrix composites with 20-vol% Al2O3 (20ALO). And in this study, for the water based emulsion is used as working liquid, there exists an electrochemical effect. And thus, the EDM spark can operate under a relatively large spark gap size condition, and this would be helpful for the removal of the loosen particles and the machined debris. In this study, the material removal rate (MRR) has been examined. Since there are many factors that can influence the MRR during the wire electro-discharge machining process, in order to determine which factor has the most significant effect on the MRR and to obtain the optimal machining parameters, the relative importance of the various machining parameters on material removal rate was analysed by employing an orthogonal design. The results of the orthogonal analysis show that to obtain a high MRR for WEDM-HS machining of 20ALO materials, the duty cycle has the most significant effect on the MRR among current, pulse duration and duty cycle. And the impact of significance for the different factors follows the sequence of duty cycle > current > pulse duration. And under the experiment condition of this study, a duty cycle of 1:4, a current of 5A and a pulse duration of 32μs is the best arrangement for the MRR.

In wire electro-discharge machining with an extremely high travelling speed of wire electrode (WEDM-HS), the emulsion is used as working liquid. Because there exists a functional electrolyte, the EDM spark can operate under a relatively large spark gap size condition, and this would facilitate the removal of machined debris. An investigation has been made into the machining feasibility when WEDM-HS has been employed to process Al2O3particle reinforced aluminum alloy 6061 with 10-vol% Al2O3(10ALO). And the material removal rate (MRR) has been examined in this study. Since there are many factors that can influence the MRR in the WEDM-HS process, in order to determine which is the most important factor and to optimize the machining parameters, the relative importance of the various machining parameters on material removal rate was established by utilizing an orthogonal experimental analysis. The results of the analysis suggest that to achieve a high MRR for particulate reinforced aluminum 6061 with 10-vol% Al2O3, the duty cycle is the most influential factor among current, pulse duration and duty cycle. And the impact of the different factors follows the sequence of duty cycle > current > pulse duration.

In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate the performance of an electrode made through powder metallurgy (PM) of copper tungsten during electrical discharge machining (EDM). Experimental results are presented on electrical discharge machining of AISI D2 hardened steel in kerosene with a copper tungsten (Cu35% - W65%) tool electrode made through PM method with a constant duty factor of 80%. In term of high performance EDM process, higher peak current (>20A) and pulse duration (>400µs) with a high machining efficiency were used. Experimental results have shown that machining at a peak current of 40A and pulse duration of 400µs yields the highest material removal rate (MRR) whereas machining at a peak current of 20A and pulse duration of 400µs yields the lowest tool wear rate (TWR). The lowest surface roughness appears at the lowest material removal rate which is at a peak current of 20A and pulse duration of 600µs. The optimum machining performance can be performed by the combination of pulse duration and peak current at 600µs and 40A respectively.

Edm Process

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of current on performance of EDM process of Allegheny Ludlum D2 Tool Steel (UNS T30402). The effect of varying the machining parameters on the machining responses such as material removal rate (MRR), electrode wear rate (EWR), and surface roughness (Ra) have been investigated. In this study, circular shape of copper was used as an electrode with surface area of 100mm². The experiments were repeated for three different values of pulse duration (100µs, 200µs and 400µs) with combination of three different values of discharge current (12A, 16A and 24A). It was found that the pulse duration and current give significant effect on MRR, EWR and Ra. An increase in the pulse durations causes an increase in the MRR and Ra, but a decrease in the EWR. Meanwhile, the effect of currents on EDM performance shows that the increasing currents led to an increase in the MRR, EWR and Ra.

In the present study, Experimental investigation of the effects of various cutting parameters on the response parameters in the hard turning of EN36 steel under the dry cutting condition is done. The input control parameters selected for the present work was the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut. The objective of the present work is to minimize the surface roughness to obtain better surface finish and maximization of material removal rate for better productivity. The design of experiments was done with the help of Taguchi L9 orthogonal array. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the significance of the input parameters on the response parameters. Percentage contribution for each control parameter was calculated using ANOVA with 95 % confidence value. From results, it was observed that feed is the most significant factor for surface roughness and the depth of cut is the most significant control parameter for Material removal rate.
