A Study on White Layer Thickness and Surface Crack Density in Rotary EDM of RENE80 Nickel Superalloy

Abstract:

In this paper, rotary electrical discharge machining of RENE 80 nickel super alloy is carried out to study the effect of process parameters like peak current, pulse on time, pulse off time and rotational speed of electrode on surface integrity characteristics like white layer thickness and surface crack density. The number of experiments, optimum levels of the parameters and their effects are studied using Taguchi method. The significant process parameters are identified using analysis of variance. It is found that the responses are affected mainly by peak current and pulse on time. The experimental results reveal that white layer thickness increases with increase of peak current and pulse on time whereas the surface crack density decreases with increase of peak current and pulse on time.
