Correlation of Input Parameters with Tool Martial on the Output Parameters of Electrical Discharge Machining Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper details the correlation between the input parameters with the tool material on the machining response in comparison of two different combinations of toolworkpiece material, namely copper-H13 and graphite-H13. The considered machining input parameters included pulse current and pulse on-time, and the investigated characteristics of the machining response were the material removal rate, tool wear, and surface roughness of the workpiece. Furthermore, differences in pulse shapes and process stability between the copper-H13 and graphite-H13 combinations were investigated.
