Abstract In wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM), the erosion is made through a series of overlapped craters. The shape these craters has relevant impact on characteristics machined surface, from surface roughness to heat effects during spark. Current models EDM process do not represent specific WEDM characteristics, such as radial asymmetry crater or geometrical shape. order characterize...

While ceramics are important materials for electronic and microsystem packaging, they are difficult to pattern lithographically. LEEDUS, a fabrication process combining lithography, electroplating, batch mode micro electro-discharge machining (µEDM) and batch mode micro ultrasonic machining (µUSM), is presented in this paper. This technology provides die-scale pattern transfer capability from l...

surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that plays very critical role in determining the quality of engineering components. a good surface quality resulting in improve of fatigue strength, corrosion and wear resistance of the workpiece. on the other hand, increasing cutting speed and decreasing time of machining are desirable for manufacturers in order to reduce costs and incr...

Electrical discharge machining process, is one of the most widely used methods for machining, the electrically conductive parts. In this way the tool is not in contact with the workpiece and the hardness of workpiece does not affect the machining speed. In Electrical Discharge Machining process, selection of the correct machining parameters are effective in final cost and the quality of the pro...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) can use soft tool electrodes to process hard workpieces achieve “soft against hard”, because it directly uses electrical energy and thermal remove metal materials. Then, generate complex features on harder materials meet the requirements of excellent surface quality. Since EDM involves many parameters, including non-electrical properties, is essential optimi...

This paper presents an investigation on WEDM of pure titanium (grade-2). An attempt has been made to model the response variable i.e. surface roughness in WEDM process using response surface methodology. The experimental plan is based on Box-Behnken design. Six parameters i.e. pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current, spark gap voltage, wire feed and wire tension has been varied to investiga...

Due to the widespread use of titanium alloy in various applications, such as maritime transportation and aviation, process mass production this material has become more challenging. Traditional methods removing materials have high wear rates slow processing speeds. This prompted development new techniques that can handle complexity material. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a metho...
