摘要:
The present work investigates the influence of processing parameters of electrical discharge machining (EDM) such as peak current, pulse on time, rotational speed and flushing pressure. This study also attempts to study the effects of parameters on EDM performance characteristics on Ti-6Al-4V alloy using copper electrode as tool material. The performance characteristics are analysed in terms of material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra), by varying the process parameters. Mathematical model correlating the influences of these variables on performance characteristics of the workpiece are investigated. Design of experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) are used to identify an optimal machining condition. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been performed for the validity test of the fit and adequacy of the proposed models. The optimum machining conditions in favour of MRR and Ra are estimated and verified with proposed optimized results and the amounts of relative errors calculated. It is observed that the developed model is within the limits of the agreeable error (2%), when compared to experimental results. This result leads to desirable MRR, Ra and economical industrial machining to optimize the process parameters. This confirms the feasibility and effectiveness of the adopted approach. © February 2014 IJENS.
