Experimental Study on High-Speed WEDM Finishing in Gas Based on Central Composite Design

Abstract:

Using cutting speed and the roughness as index, the five factors as pulse duration, peak current, offset, ratio of pulse interval to pulse duration and worktable feed were chosen in dry finishing. Based on the single factor experiment, the central composite design (CCD) method is used to study the effects of the five factors and their interactions on cutting speed and the surface roughness and develop empirical models for cutting speed and roughness Ra. Significant order influencing cutting speed and roughness are found. The results of the verification test show that Ra regression model and cutting speed regression model have high reliability, and can achieve significant prediction effect.
