Electrode wear

(BQ) In this research work two different materials have been used as work pieces. These EN8 and D3 steel materials have been machined in an Electrical discharge machine which has wide application in Industry fields. The important process parameters that have been selected are peak current, pulse on time, die electric pressure and tool diameter. The outputs responses are material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and surface roughness (SR).

(BQ) Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a widespread process which works very effectively in machining of difficult-to-cut materials and alloys in die and aerospace industries with high dimensional accuracies. However, this capability could be deteriorated due to electrode wear leading to decrease of process productivity. In this study, the effect of machining parameters of EDM process including on-time, current, voltage, the engaging time between workpiece and electrode, and pre-EDM roughing on electrode wear were experimentally investigated.

(BQ) This study was made only for the finish stages and has been carried out on the influence of five design factors: intensity supplied by the generator of the EDM machine (I), pulse time (ti), duty cycle (η), open-circuit voltage (U) and dielectric flushing pressure (P), over the two previously mentioned response variables. This has been done by means of the technique of design of experiments (DOE), which allows us to carry out the above-mentioned analysis performing a relatively small number of experiments.

(BQ) The adequate selection of manufacturing conditions is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration in the die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM) of conductive ceramics, as these conditions are the ones that are to determine such important characteristics as: surface roughness, electrode wear (EW) and material removal rate, among others. In this work, a study was carried out on the influence of the factors of intensity (I), pulse time (ti) and duty cycle (η) over the listed technological characteristics.
