Abstract

Purpose

In this research, electro discharge machining (EDM) of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn titanium alloy is performed taking gap voltage, pulse on time, peak current and duty cycle as process parameters. The purpose of this paper is to find out the optimal process parameters setting for getting higher machining efficiency.

Design/methodology/approach

For experimental design, a face-centered central composite design (FCCCD)-based response surface methodology (RSM) is used. Multi-objective optimization like grey relational analysis (GRA) is adopted to achieve the higher machining efficiency by means of lower radial overcut (ROC), surface roughness (Ra), tool wear rate (TWR) and higher material removal rate (MRR). For the statistical study, analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been carried out.

Findings

The result shows that gap voltage, peak current and pulse on time are the most efficient parameters for the responses. An optimal parameter setting has been obtained for achieving higher machining efficiency. For validation of the study, confirmation experiment has been performed at optimal parameters setting.

Originality/value

Optimum parameter level for higher machining performance of Ti-5Al-2.5Sn Titanium alloy has been achieved machined by copper electrode during EDM operation.

Abstract

Purpose

In this study, powder mixed electro discharge machining (PMEDM) has been performed for the machining of AISI 304 stainless steel by using the tungsten carbide electrode when silicon carbide (SiC) powder is mixed with kerosene. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal value and ascertain the effect of significant machining parameters on surface crack density (SCD) of a machined surface of AISI 304.

Design/methodology/approach

A face-centered central composite design-based response surface methodology has been adopted for designing this experiment.

Findings

An increase in peak current and powder concentration decreases SCD, which is the main goal of this investigation.

Originality/value

From this investigation, an optimal value has been achieved to minimize the SCD and prevent fatigue and corrosion resistance of the workpiece.
