| Summary: | EDM or Electrical Discharge Machining is a process by which metal is removed by
electrical energy. A spark is discharged from an electrode vaporizing the metal. In really
EDM is a very precise method of machining and is used when a metal is too hard or
tough to machine conventionally. The experimental study presented in this paper aims to
select the most suitable cutting and offset parameter combination for the wire electrical
discharge machining process in order to get the desired surface roughness value,
dimensional and corner cutting accuracy for the machined workpieces. A series of
experiments have been performed on two types of steel material with same thicknesses.
The test specimens have been cut by using different cutting and offset parameter
combinations of the “Mitsubishi RA90” wire electrical discharge machine in the
University Technical Malaysia Melaka CNC center lab. The surface roughness of the test
pieces has been measured by using a surface roughness measuring device. The dimension
accuracy will be measured by optical comparator and digital caliper. For accuracy of
sharp corner cutting image analyzer will be used. The related tables and charts have been
prepared for material type, wire diameter and wire type. The tables and charts can be
practically used for EDM parameter selection for the desired workpiece. |
