WHITE-LAYER THICKNESS ON EDM-PROCESSED AISI A2 STEEL – MATHEMATICAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS

Hot Forming of Aisi A2 Tool Steel

In order to optimize the hot forming process of tool steels, further improvement of flow stress prediction and additional knowledge on hot deformability, especially at lower and upper limits of the hot working range, are required. The hot working ranges for these steels are very narrow as a consequence of the role of alloying elements, which form carbides. Carbides improve tool steel’s hardenab...

Modeling and Analysis of Process Parameters on Surface Roughness in EDM of AISI D2 Tool Steel by RSM Approach

In this research, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to investigate the effect of four controllable input variables namely: discharge current, pulse duration, pulse off time and applied voltage Surface Roughness (SR) of on Electrical Discharge Machined surface. To study the proposed second-order polynomial model for SR, a Central Composite Design (CCD) is used to estimation the model co...

Investigation of Surface integrity of AISI D3 tool steel After EDM

-AISI D3 tool steel is a high-carbon, highchromium, oil-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous, large, chromium-rich alloy carbides in the microstructure. These carbides provide good resistance to wear from sliding contact with other metals and abrasive materials. Typical applications for D3 tool steel include Blanking, stamping, and col...

Application of Response Surface Methodology For Determining MRR and TWR Model In Die Sinking EDM of AISI 1045 Steel

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 base material used for this study was an AISI 1045 steel with copper electrode. This study highlights the development of...
