Optimization of Process Parameters in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining of ...IJERA Editor
Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a specialized thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with varying hardness or complex shapes, which have sharp edges that are very difficult to be machined by the main stream machining processes. This practical technology of the WEDM process is based on the conventional EDM sparking phenomenon utilizing the widely accepted non-contact technique of material removal. Since the introduction of the process, WEDM has evolved from a simple means of making tools and dies to the best alternative of producing micro-scale parts with the highest degree of dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality. Metal matrix composites are advanced materials having high specific strength, good wear resistance, and high thermal expansion coefficient. To achieve this task, machining parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current, servo voltage, wire feed, wire tension etc. of this process should be selected such that optimal value of their performance measures like Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR), Gap current, Dimensional deviation, etc. can be obtained or improved. In past decades, intensive research work had been carried out by different researchers for improvement and optimization of WEDM performance measures using various optimization techniques like Taguchi, Response Surface Methodology (RSM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Genetic Algorithm (GA), etc. This paper also highlights the feasibility of the different control strategies of obtaining the optimal machining conditions. This literature review helps to identify the suitable process parameters and their ranges in machining of metal matrix composites.

Latest Research Trend of optimization Techniques in Electric Discharge Machin...sushil Choudhary
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a non
conventional machining process which can be used to
machine electrically conductive work piece. The
electric discharge machine provides an effective
solution for machining hard conductive materials and
reproducing complex shapes. EDM involves the
phenomena such as: spark initiation, dielectric
breakdown, and thermo-mechanical erosion of metals.
High cost of non conventional machine tools,
compared to conventional machining, Optimization is
one of the techniques used in manufacturing process
area to arrive for the best manufacturing conditions,
which is an essential need for industries towards
manufacturing of quality products at lower cost. In
this paper various optimization technique such as
Taguchi method, artificial neural network (ANN),
Genetic Algorithms (GA), grey relational analysis
(GRA), Response Surface Methodology (RSM) used
in the field of electric discharge machining process.
The main objectives of optimization are to (i)
maximize the material removal rate (MRR), (ii)

Thermal Stress Analysis of Electro Discharge MachiningIJESFT
Procedures and results of experimental work to find thermal stress analysis in electric discharge machined surfaces are presented. In this study, an axisymmetric thermo-physical FEA model for the simulation of single sparks machining during electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is shown. This model has been solved using ANSYS 14.0 software. A transient thermal analysis assuming a Gaussian distribution heat source with temperature-dependent material properties is used to investigate the stress analysis based on temperature distribution. The effect on significant machining parameters (Gap current – Gap voltage) on aforesaid responses had been investigated and found that the stresses sharply changes with the parameters [1].
The FEA model is used to study the relation between these parameters and maximum temperature attended at the end of cycle which is further used to find residual stress produced at the end of cooling cycle. To find residual stresses in the work piece during EDM, the temperature distribution at the end of pulse duration in the work piece has to be estimated [2]
High residual thermal stresses are developed on the surfaces of electric discharge machined parts because of the high temperature gradients generated at the gap during electrical discharge machining (EDM) in a small heat-affected zone. These thermal stresses can be responsible for micro-cracks, decrease in fatigue life and strength and possibly catastrophic failure. The results of the analysis show high temperature gradient zones and the regions of large stresses where, sometimes, they exceed the material yield strength. A transient thermal analysis assuming a Gaussian distribution heat can be used to investigate the Stress analysis.

Optimization of EDM Process Parameters using Response Surface Methodology for...ijtsrd
The present work demonstrates the optimization process of material removal rate MRR of electrical discharge machining EDM by RSM Response Surface Methodology . The work piece material was EN31 tool steel. The pulse on time, pulse off time, pulse current and voltage were the control parameters of EDM. RSM method was used to design the experiment using rotatable central composite design as this is the most widely used experimental design for modeling a second–order response surface. The process has been successfully modeled using response surface methodology RSM and model adequacy checking is also carried out using Minitab software. The second order response models have been validated with analysis of variance. Finally, an attempt has been made to estimate the optimum machining conditions to produce the best possible responses within the experimental constraints. Dr. N. Mahesh Kumar | Mr. P.

Modern EDM machinery is capable of machining micro-hole, thin slots, geometrically complex or hard material components, that are precise and difficult to machine, such as heat treated tool steels, composites, super alloys, etc. The studies of an experimental investigation evaluate the effects of EDM machining parameters such as MRR, EWR and Surface Roughness with two different electrode materials. The process parameters such as Input current, Pulse on time and duty cycle keeping flushing pressure constant. The full factorial design of experiment (L25) is used to study the effects of machining parameters. Investigations indicate that the output parameters of EDM increases with the increase in input current and the best machining rates are achieved with copper with through hole electrodes, better surface roughness compare to brass electrode. A brass electrode with higher input current and maximum pulse on time resulted in more EWR compared to copper electrodes. Also the increase in MRR by copper electrode, it improves the SR during Electric Discharge Machining.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

ABSTRACT
The correct selection of manufacturing conditions is one of the most important aspects to take into consideration
in the majority of manufacturing processes and, particularly, in processes related to Electrical Discharge
Machining (EDM). It is a capable of machining geometrically complex or hard material components, that are
precise and difficult-to-machine such as heat treated tool steels, composites, super alloys, ceramics, carbides,
heat resistant steels etc. being widely used in die and mold making industries, aerospace, aeronautics and
nuclear industries. From the point of view of industrial applications, SS 410 is a very important material and
that’s why for the purpose of experimentation SS 410 with copper electrode and EDM oil as dielectric has been
used In the present work. I will take input parameter discharge current, pulse on time and pulse off time. Design
of Experiment (DOE) with full factorial design has been explored to produce 27 specimens on SS 410 by edm
operation. MRR will be calculated from MRR equation and software available for it and then compare it.
Collected data related to surface roughness have been utilized for optimization.
Keywords – EDM, orthogonal array, Design of experiments, full factorial.
I. INTRODUCTION
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is
one of the most extensively used nonconventional
material removal processes. In this process the
material is removed by a succession of electrical
discharges, which occur between the electrode and
the workpiece.There is no direct contact between the
electrode tool and the workpiece. These are
submersed in a dielectric liquid such as kerosene or
deionised water. Its unique feature of using thermal
energy to machine electrically conductive parts
regardless of hardness has been its distinctive
advantage. The electrical discharge machining
process is widely used in the aerospace, automobile,
die manufacturing and moulds industries to machine
hard metals and its alloy.
II. MECHANISM OF MATERIAL
REMOVAL
The electro sparking method of metal
working involves an electric erosion effect in which
the breakdown of electrode material is done by
electric discharge. The discharge is created by the
ionization of dielectric which is spilled up of its
molecules into ions and electrons. This discharge is
created between two electrodes through a gaseous or
liquid medium with the application of suitable
voltage across the electrodes. The potential intensity
of electric field between them is built up at some
predetermined value individual electrons will break
loose from the surface of the anode under the
influence of the field force. While moving in the
inter-electrode space, the electrons collide with the
neutral molecules of the dielectric, detaching
electrons from them and causing ionization. At some
time or other the ionization becomes such that a
narrow channel of continuous conductivity is formed.

Fig.2 Mechanism of material removal
When this happens there is a continuous
flow of electrons along the channel to the electrode,
resulting in the momentary current impulse or
discharge. The liberation of energy accompanying the
discharge leads to generation of high temperature.
This high temperature plasma causes fusion or
particle vaporization of metal and the dielectric fluid
at the point of discharge. This leads to the formation
of tiny crater at the point of discharge in the
workpiece. Comparatively less metal is eroded from
the tool as compared to the workpiece due to
following reasons:
a) The momentum with which positive ions strike the
cathode surface is much less than the momentum
with which the electron stream impinges on the
anode surface.
b) A compressive force is generated on the cathode
surface by spark which helps reduce tool wear.

“Statistical modeling and optimization of process
parameters in electro-discharge machining of cobaltbonded tungsten carbide composite (WC/6%Co)”. In
this paper, attempts have been made to model and
optimize process parameters in Electro-Discharge
Machining (EDM) of tungsten carbide-cobalt
composite (Iso grade: K10) using cylindrical copper
tool electrodes in planing machining mode based on
statistical techniques. Four independent input
parameters, viz., discharge current, pulse-on time,
duty cycle, and gap voltage were selected to assess
the EDM process performance in terms of material
removal rate, tool wear rate, and average surface
roughness. Response surface methodology (RSM),
employing a rotatable central composite design
www.ijera.com
www.ijera.com
scheme, has been used to plan and analyze the
experiments. For each process response, a suitable
second order regression equation was obtained
applying analysis of variance (ANOVA) and student
t-test procedure to check modeling goodness of fit
and select proper forms of influentially significant
process variables (main, two-way interaction, and
pure quadratic terms) within 90% of confidence
interval (p-value ≤ 0.1). It has been mainly revealed
that all the responses are affected by the rate and
extent of discharge energy but in a controversial
manner. The MRR increases by selecting both higher
discharge current and duty cycle which means
providing greater amounts of discharge energy inside
gap region. The obtained predicted optimal results
were also verified experimentally and the values of
confirmation errors were computed, all found to be
satisfactory, being less than 10%. The outcomes of
present research prove the feasibility and
effectiveness of adopted approach as it can provide a
useful platform to model and multi-criteria optimize
MRR, Ra, and TWR during EDMing WC/6%Co

“Effect of Electrical Discharge Machining on
strength and reliability of WC–30%Co composite.”.
Tungsten carbide/Cobalt (WC–Co) composite is one
of the important composite materials, which is used
for manufacturing of cutting tools, dies and other
special tools. It has very high hardness and excellent
resistance to shock and wear. It is not possible to
machine this material easily with conventional
machining techniques. Due to the good electrical
conductivity of WC–Co, it is usually machined by
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM).
EDM process often results in the surface
damage of bulk WC–Co, and the influence of the
damage would affect the reliability. It is important to
investigate the effect of electric discharge machining
process on the properties of WC–Co cemented
carbides before applying its engineering application.
For these composites, maintenance of proper fracture
strength is an important concern and is to be
controlled. In this work, an attempt has been made to

R.Rajesh , were carried out “The
Optimization of the Electro-Discharge Machining
Process Using Response Surface Methodology and
Genetic Algorithms.”.. optimization of operating
parameters is an important action in machining,
particularly for unconventional electrical type
machining procedures like EDM. Since for an
arbitrary desired machining time for a particular job,
they do not provide the optimal conditions. To solve
this task, multiple regression model and modified
Genetic Algorithm model are developed as efficient
approaches to determine the optimal machining
parameters in electric discharge machine. In this
paper, working current, working voltage, oil pressure,
spark gap Pulse On Time and Pulse Off Time on
Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Finish
(Ra) has been studied. Empirical models for MRR
and Ra have been developed by conducting a
designed experiment based on the Grey Relational
Analysis. Genetic Algorithm (GA) based multiobjective optimization for maximization of MRR and
minimization of Ra has been done by using the
developed empirical models. Optimization results
have been used for identifying the machining
conditions. For verification of the empirical models
and the optimization results, focused experiments
have been conducted in the rough and finish
machining regions.

M.A.Hassan , were carried out “Analysis
of the Influence of EDM Parameters on Surface
Quality, Material Removal Rate and Electrode Wear
of Tungsten Carbide” . The objective of this paper is
to study the influence of operating parameters of
tungsten carbide on the machining characteristics
such as surface quality, material removal rate and
electrode wear. It is followed by optimizing the
machining condition for confirmation test purposes.
Then, the conformation test needed to evaluate the
error margin between predicted result by software
and confirmation result by experiment in terms of the
machining characteristics. The effectiveness of EDM
process with tungsten carbide, WC-Co is evaluated in
terms of the material removal rate, the relative wear
ratio and the surface finish quality of the workpiece
produced. It is observed that copper tungsten is most
suitable for use as the tool electrode in EDM of WCCo. Better machining performance is obtained
generally with the electrode as the cathode and the
workpiece as an anode. In this paper, a study was
carried out on the influence of the parameters such
peak currrent, power supply voltage, pulse on time
and pulse off time. The surface quality that was

investigated in this experiment was surface roughness
using perthometer machine. Material removal rate
(MRR) and electrode wear (EW) in this experiment
was calculated by using mathematical method. The
result of the experiment then was collected and
analyzed using STATISTICA software. This was
done by using the design of experiments (DOE)
technique and ANOVA analysis.

of the parameters in electrical discharge machining
through response surface methodology approach”.
Whereas the efficiency of traditional cutting
processes is limited by the mechanical properties of
the processed material and the complexity of the
workpiece geometry, electrical discharge machining
(EDM) being a thermal erosion process, is subject to
no such constraints. The lack of correlations between
the cutting rate, the surface finish and the physical
material parameters of this process made it difficult
to use. This paper highlights the development of a
comprehensive mathematical model for correlating
the interactive and higher order influences of various
electrical discharge machining parameters through
response surface methodology (RSM), utilizing
relevant experimental data as obtained through
experimentation. The adequacy of the above the
proposed models have been tested through the
analysis of variance (ANOVA). Optimal combination
of these parameters was obtained for achieving
controlled EDM of the workpieces.

“Effects of wire-EDM machining variables on
surface roughness of newly developed DC 53 die
steel: Design of experiments and regression model”.
DC53 is a newly developed cold die steel from Daido
Steel, Japan. It is an improvement over the familiar
cold die steel SKD11. Because DC53 is a new die
steel, only little information is available in literature
for its machining characteristics. This paper presents
an investigation of the effects of machining variables
on the surface roughness of wire-EDMed DC53 die
steel. In this study, the machining variables
investigated were pulse-peak current, pulse-on time,
pulse-off time, and wire tension. Analysis of variance
(ANOVA) technique was used to find out the
variables
affecting
the
surface
roughness.
Assumptions of ANOVA were discussed and
carefully examined using analysis of residuals.
Quantitative testing methods on residual analysis
were used in place of the typical qualitative testing
techniques. Results from the analysis show that
pulse-on time and pulse-peak current are significant
variables to the surface roughness of wire-EDMed
DC53 die steel. The surface roughness of the test
specimen increases when these two parameters
increase. Lastly, a mathematical model was

the electrical discharge machining of conductive
ceramics”. In this work, a comparative study of the
electrical discharge machining (EDM) of three
different conductive ceramics has been carried out.
The ceramics used in the experiments were cobaltbonded tungsten carbide (WC–Co), hot-pressed
boron carbide (B4C) and reaction-bonded silicon
carbide (SiSiC). This study has been done only for
the finishing stages and the selection of the abovementioned conductive ceramics was motivated by
their wide range of applications: machining and
mining for WC–Co, thermal-neutron absorber and
nozzles for B4C and wear parts and heat exchangers
for SiSiC, among others. The comparative study has
been carried out on the influence of the design factors
of intensity (I), pulse time (ti) and duty cycle (η) over
response variables such as surface roughness
(evaluated through the Ra parameter), volumetric
electrode wear (EW) and material removal rate
(MRR). This was accomplished through the
technique of design of experiments (DOE), along
with multiple linear regression techniques, which
allowed us to carry out the analysis with only a small
number of experiments.

I. Puertas , were carried out “Analysis of
the influence of EDM parameter on surface
qulity,MRR and EW of WC-CO”. The adequate
selection of manufacturing conditions is one of the
most important aspects to take into consideration in
the die-sinking electrical discharge machining (EDM)
of conductive ceramics, as these conditions are the
ones that are to determine such important
characteristics as: surface roughness, electrode wear
(EW) and material removal rate, among others. In
this work, a study was carried out on the influence of
the factors of intensity (I), pulse time (ti) and duty
cycle (η) over the listed technological characteristics.
The ceramic used in this study was a cemented
carbide or hard metal such as 94WC–6Co.
Approximately 50% of all carbide production is used
for machining applications but cemented carbides are
also being increasingly used for non-machining
applications, such as: mining, oil and gas drilling,
metal forming and forestry tools. Accordingly,
mathematical models will be obtained using the
technique of design of experiments (DOE) to select
the optimal machining conditions for finishing stages.
This will be done only using a small number of
experiments.

surface roughness model of the EDM process of semi
conductor BaTio3 can be obtain by regression of the
experimental data. A genetic algorithm is used to
calculate the machining parameter of the optimum
surface roughness. To obtain a better surface
roughness, positive polarity machining should be
chosen in EDM process of BaTio3 whilst the can not
be selected at too great a value or the workpiece may
be broken during the process.
IV. IMPORTANT PARAMETERS OF
EDM
(a) Spark On-time (pulse time or Ton): The
duration of time (μs) the current is allowed to flow
per cycle. Material removal is directly proportional to
the amount of energy applied during this on-time.
This energy is really controlled by the peak current
and the length of the on-time.
(b) Spark Off-time (pause time or Toff ): The
duration of time (μs) between the sparks (that is to
say, on-time). This time allows the molten material to
solidify and to be wash out of the arc gap. This
parameter is to affect the speed and the stability of

the cut. Thus, if the off-time is too short, it will cause
sparks to be unstable.
(c) Arc gap (or gap): The Arc gap is distance
between the electrode and workpiece during the
process of EDM. It may be called as spark gap. Spark
gap can be maintained by servo system.
(d)Discharge current (current Ip): Current is
measured in amp Allowed to per cycle. Discharge
current is directly proportional to the Material
removal rate.
(e) Duty cycle ( τ It is a percentage of the on-time
):
relative to the total cycle time. This parameter is
calculated by dividing the on-time by the total cycle
time (on-time pulse offtime). τ = (pulse on time/pulse
off time+pulse on time)
(f) Voltage (V): It is a potential that can be measure
by volt it is also effect to the material removal rate
and allowed to per cycle.
(g) Over cut: It is a clearance per side between the
electrode and the workpiece after the marching
operation.
RESPONSE PARAMETERS
Material Removal Rate(MRR)
MRR is measured by difference between
weight before cutting and after cutting of workpiece.
Surface Roughness(SR)
Roughness is a measure of the texture of a
surface. It is quantified by the vertical deviations of a
real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations
are large, the surface is rough; if they are small the
surface is smooth. Roughness is typically considered
to be the high frequency, short wavelength
component of a measured surface. Surface roughness
is an important measure of product quality since it
greatly influences the performance of mechanical
parts as well as production cost. Surface roughness
has an impact on the mechanical properties like
fatigue behavior, corrosion resistance, creep life, etc.

V. CONCLUSION
From the above literature survey we found
that most effected parameters to cutting condition are
pulse on time, pulse off time and discharge current
and they are easily controlled by operator at the
machine at same time. Experimental work will be
performed on EDM machine. In which input
parameters are pulse on time, pulse off time and

surface roughness and material removal rate. We will
use surface roughness tester to measure surface
roughness and MRR will measured by mathematical
equation. We will use AISI 410 work piece material
for turning operation. For Experimental design we
will use full factorial method (L=mⁿ) to find out
number of readings. To find out percentage
contribution of each input parameter for obtaining
optimal conditions, we will use ANOVA method.
