Electrochemical discharge micro-machining (micro-ECDM) has the ability to machine electrically nonconducting materials as compared with different existing traditional and also non-traditional machining processes. This paper deals with the effects of different process parameters like applied voltage (V), electrolyte concentrations(wt%), pulse frequency and duty ratio on different machining perfo...

In this study, a multi objective optimization for end milling of Al 6061 alloy has been presented to provide better surface quality and higher Material Removal Rate (MRR). The input parameters considered for the analysis are spindle speed, depth of cut and feed. The experiments were planned as per Taguchis design of experiment, with L27 orthogonal array. The Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) has b...

In this study, two parameters of surface roughness and volumetric material removal rate are optimized based on computational intelligence method. Wire electrical discharge machine is used for machining of cold-work steel 2601. The relation between Input parameters including electrical current, pulse-off time, open-circuit voltage and gap voltage and output parameters is studied via Experimental...

Presented is an experimental investigation of the machining characteristics and the effect of wire electrical discharge machine (WEDM) process parameters during machining of Al/ZrO2(p) particulate reinforced metal matrix composite (PRMMC). Experiments are carried out to investigate the effects of input parameters such as dielectric conductivity, pulse width, time between pulses, maximum feed ra...

Abrasive Water Jet Machining is an unconventional machining process well known for machining hard to cut materials. The primary research focus on the process was for through cutting and a very limited literature is available on pocket milling using AWJM. The present work is an attempt to use this process for milling applications considering a set of various process parameters. Four different in...

Background: This study assessed the removal of organic material and nutrients from full-scale subsurface flow (SSF) constructed wetlands (CWs) followed by anaerobic stabilization ponds under environmental conditions. Methods: The effluents were distributed evenly in 12 reed beds. Samples were taken twice monthly for a total of 6 months from several points in the wetland. Biochemical oxygen dema...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a method to cut conductive materials with a thin electrode that follows a programmed path. The electrode is a thin wire. Typical diameters range from .004" - .012" (.10mm - .30mm) although smaller and larger diameters are available. WEDM is a thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with varying hardness or complex shapes. WED...

Extensive work has been reported on modelling and optimization for different materials such as aluminum, iron, nickel-base alloy, C40 steel, mild steel, Ti6Al4V, HE15, 15CDV6, M-250, AISI D2 steel material etc. However model of process parameters for EDM technique on Ti-5Al-2.5Sn material has not been developed yet. Thus in the present work, an effort is made to develop model of material remova...
