This paper presents a study of the relationship between Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) parameters on the EDM efficiency factors using a full factorial design, based on pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity parameters in EDM machining of AISI H13 tool steel. The results show that, in positive polarity, the plasma flushing efficiency and pulse efficiency increase according to the puls...

Due to their lightness and good mechanical properties various Al-alloy products obtained by casting, rolling and hot extrusion are still gaining in importance. Hot extrusion of Al-alloys (Figure 1.a) enables the production of a very varied range of profi le shapes, which, due to the above mentioned excellent properties are used mainly in the automotive and electro-industries, in aeronautics, in...

As an important problem in forging factories, dies are destroyed because of high wear rate, plastic deformation and thermal and mechanical fatigue at high temperatures. This paper is an investigation into        the use of nickel super alloy with different welding parameters. Three weld overlaid alloys of inconel625, as wear resistance hardfacing materials on H13 tool steel, with different weld...

Surface integrity (SI) plays a very important role in functional performance. It is dependent on a large number of machining parameters. The major concern of industry is to know which combination of machining parameters provides the best SI of machined components. Traditionally, surface roughness is considered to be the principal parameter to assess the SI of a machined part. However, residual ...
