Preliminary notes This paper presents the possibilities of applying a new method of programming based on STEP-NC standards, which was developed as an alternative to the G code. The possibilities of application in the field of machining simulation and verification of the program before machining on the wire electrical discharge machine are discussed. The paper shows the possible methodology for ...

Abstract The present work aims to carry out a feasible study of wire electro-discharge machining (WEDM) during the Inconel 690 superalloy gears. Processing conditions power-on time, power-off current, and spark-gap voltage are varied evaluate process performance in terms material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (SR), consumption. Parametric optimization has been carried using combined app...

Abstract Super abrasive diamond grinding wheels are the most promising tools for precision machining of advanced ceramics and carbide materials. However, efficiency conventional conditioning these is limited owing to high dressing tool wear, long process time, low form flexibility, induced damage grains. Wire electrical discharge (WEDM) an alternative method superabrasive with electrically cond...

This paper presents an investigation on WEDM of pure titanium (grade-2). An attempt has been made to model the response variable i.e. surface roughness in WEDM process using response surface methodology. The experimental plan is based on Box-Behnken design. Six parameters i.e. pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current, spark gap voltage, wire feed and wire tension has been varied to investiga...

In recent years, WEDM has been adopted in precision machining as an important alternative method because of its greater flexibility and lower wear cost compared with traditional machining, whereas wire breakage during is unignorable problem that influences the quality efficiency. Therefore, it a research topic considerable interest. This work focuses on exploring reason for breakage. Firstly, b...
