Process Optimization of Electric Discharge Machining Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract:

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is one of the most commonly used non-traditional machining processes. Complex geometries can be easily manufactured using EDM. Material removal is achieved by producing continuous spark occurring between well shaped tool electrode and work piece. EDM does not involve direct contact of tool and work piece. Machining process involves a number of input variables like, current, voltage, pulse on/off which in turn affect the machining efficiency of EDM. These process parameters must be optimized to attain high material removal rate and low tool wear rate. The present paper presents theoptimization of tool wear rate of copper and brass electrode on machining of EN-47 using Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
