The dry-EDM process is environmentally neutral and enables to obtain good machining accuracy relatively surface quality. On the other hand, application of limited due problems with effective dissipation heat from zone instability material removal. Inconel 625 alloy was carried out in carbon dioxide as a dielectric supplied gap through channel working electrode, milling kinematics. In one invest...

Many Wire-EDM machines have adopted the pulse generating circuit using low power for ignition and high power for machining. However it is not suitable for finishing process since the energy generated by the high voltage sub-circuit is too high to obtain a desired fine surface, no matter how short the pulse on time is assigned. For the machine used in this research, the best surface roughness Ra...

Optimization of operating parameters is an important step in machining, particularly for operating unconventional machining procedure like Wirecut Electro Discharge Machining. Since wire-cut EDM has experienced explosive growth in application users demand and need maximum productivity and through-put, increased accuracy, and predictable performance. Also machines and job requirements vary great...

This paper aims to develop a combination of Taguchi and fuzzy TOPSIS methods to solve multi-response parameter optimization problems in green manufacturing. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), a commonly used non-traditional manufacturing process was considered in this study. A decision making model for the selection of process parameters in order to achieve green EDM was developed. An experi...

INTRODUCTION In order to realize successful fine and precise EDM, it is important to minimize the wear of the electrode under the condition of very small pulse duration. To cope with this issue, the authors focused attention on the electrically conductive CVD diamond (EC-CVD diamond here after) having very high thermal conductivity, and have already shown that an extremely low wear machining co...

The thesis presents a combined experimental and computational investigation of a novel thermochemical material removal mechanism for cutting of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) substrates through controlled crack propagation. The CO2-Laser/Waterjet machining system developed by the Iowa State University’s Laboratory for Lasers, MEMS, and Nanotechnology was utilized to achieve specimen...
