EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PROCESS PARAMETERS IN EDM USING TOOL STEEL ELECTRODE

The correct selection of manufacturing conditions is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration in the majority of manufacturing processes and, particularly, in processes related to Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). The Electric discharge machining process is finding out the effect of machining parameter such as discharge current, pulse on time and diameter of tool of tool steel material. Using U-shaped cu tool with internal flushing. A well-designed experimental scheme was used to reduce the total number of experiments. Parts of the experiment were conducted with the L18 orthogonal array based on the Taguchi method. Moreover, the signal-to-noise ratios associated with the observed values in the experiments were determined by which factor is most affected by the Responses of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and over cut (OC).
