Optimization of operating parameters is an important step in machining, particularly for operating unconventional machining procedure like Wirecut Electro Discharge Machining. Since wire-cut EDM has experienced explosive growth in application users demand and need maximum productivity and through-put, increased accuracy, and predictable performance. Also machines and job requirements vary great...

The study aims to develop a neural network classification model predict machining failures during wire electric discharge machining. Also, process control algorithm retunes the parameters based on remaining useful time before failure. In proposed methodology, an artificial (ANN) classifier receives four in-process characteristics as input. These extracted features are energy, spark frequency, o...

Among all non-conventional micro-machining, electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is having high quality of material removal rate with zero residual stress. This machining has been accepted as a highly modern technology in micromachining. In this paper an effort has been done on micro drilling of glass using electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM). A fixed tool and a step down transform...

For successful commercial adaptation of the l-EDM (micro electro-discharge machining) process, there is a need to increase the process efficiency by understanding the process mechanism. This paper presents a model of the plasma discharge phase of a single discharge l-EDM event in deionized water. The plasma discharge is modeled using global model approach in which the plasma is assumed to be sp...
