Material removal rate and electrode wear ratio study on the powder mixed electrical discharge machining of cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide

Material removal rate and electrode wear ratio study on the powder mixed electrical discharge... In this article, a material removal rate (MRR) and electrode wear ratio (EWR) study on the powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) of cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide (WC-Co) has been carried out. This type of cemented tungsten carbide was widely used as moulding material of metal forming, forging, squeeze casting, and high pressure die casting. In the PMEDM process, the aluminum powder particle suspended in the dielectric fluid disperses and makes the discharging energy dispersion uniform; it displays multiple discharging effects within a single input pulse. This study was made only for the finishing stages and has been carried out taking into account the four processing parameters: discharge current, pulse on time, grain size, and concentration of aluminum powder particle for the machinability evaluation of MRR and EWR. The response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to plan and analyze the experiments. The experimental plan adopts the face-centered central composite design (CCD). This study highlights the development of mathematical models for investigating the influence of processing parameters on performance characteristics. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology Springer Journals

Abstract

In this article, a material removal rate (MRR) and electrode wear ratio (EWR) study on the powder mixed electrical discharge machining (PMEDM) of cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide (WC-Co) has been carried out. This type of cemented tungsten carbide was widely used as moulding material of metal forming, forging, squeeze casting, and high pressure die casting. In the PMEDM process, the aluminum powder particle suspended in the dielectric fluid disperses and makes the discharging energy dispersion uniform; it displays multiple discharging effects within a single input pulse. This study was made only for the finishing stages and has been carried out taking into account the four processing parameters: discharge current, pulse on time, grain size, and concentration of aluminum powder particle for the machinability evaluation of MRR and EWR. The response surface methodology (RSM) has been used to plan and analyze the experiments. The experimental plan adopts the face-centered central composite design (CCD). This study highlights the development of mathematical models for investigating the influence of processing parameters on performance characteristics.
