Modeling and Influence of Machining Parameters on Titanium Aloy

Abstract:

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a material removal process of electrically conductive materials by the thermo-electric source of energy which is extensively used in machining of materials for a highly precision productivity. This work presents the machining of titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V) using WEDM with a brass wire diameter of 0.25mm.The objective of this work is to study the influence of three machining parameters, namely peak current (IP), feed rate (FC) and wire tension (WT) to cutting speed and surface roughness as a responses. Response Surface Methodology was used to develop second order model in order to predict cutting speed and surface roughness responses. The results showed that the average percentage error between the predicted and experimental value for both models was less than 2%. Effects of each parameter and their interaction with percentage contribution ratios (PCR) are included for each response.
