Effect of wire tension on different output responses during wire electric discharge machining on AISI 304 stainless steel

Experimental Investigation of Surface Roughness and Kerf Width During Machining of Blanking Die Material on Wire Electric Discharge Machine

Wire electric discharge machine (WEDM) is spark erosion in unconventional machining technique to cut hard and the conductive material with a wire as an electrode. The blanking die material SKD 11 is a high carbon and high chromium tool steel with high hardness and high wearing resistance property. This tool steel has broad application in press tools and dies making industries. In this research ...

Investigation of the effect of Process Parameters on Surface Roughness in Wire Electric Discharge Machining of En31 Tool Steel

Modernization of mechanical industry has lead to the increase in demand for hard and tough materials and thus various non traditional methods have been developed in order to machine such hard and tough materials. Wire Electric discharge machine is one of the most commonly used machine which is employed in machining of conductive metals of any hardness or that are difficult or impossible to cut ...

Effect of Built-Up Edge Formation during Stable State of Wear in AISI 304 Stainless Steel on Machining Performance and Surface Integrity of the Machined Part

During machining of stainless steels at low cutting -speeds, workpiece material tends to adhere to the cutting tool at the tool-chip interface, forming built-up edge (BUE). BUE has a great importance in machining processes; it can significantly modify the phenomenon in the cutting zone, directly affecting the workpiece surface integrity, cutting tool forces, and chip formation. The American Iro...

Grain Size Effect on the Hot Deformation Processing Map of AISI 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel

In this study, the hot deformation processing map of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel in two initial grain sizes of 15 and 40 μm was investigated. For this purpose, cylindrical samples were used in the hot compression test at the temperature range of 950-1100 °C and the strain rate of 0.005-0.5% s-1. At first, the relationship between the peak stress and Zener-Hollomon parameter w...
