Optimization of WEDM Process Parameters

Article Preview

Abstract:

The objective of the present work is to investigate the effects of various WEDM process parameters like pulse on time, pulse off time, corner servo, flushing pressure, wire feed rate, wire tension, spark gap voltage and servo feed on the material removal rate (MRR) & Surface Roughness (SR) and to obtain the optimal settings of machining parameters at which the material removal rate (MRR) is maximum and the Surface Roughness (SR) is minimum in a range. In the present investigation, Inconel 825 specimen is machined by using brass wire as electrode and the response surface methodology (RSM) is for modeling a second-order response surface to estimate the optimum machining condition to produce the best possible response within the experimental constraints.
