The objective of this paper is to study the effect of the various process parameters i.e. peak current, noload voltage, pulse on time and duty cycle on response parameters by mixing silicon powder in the dielectric fluid of the Electric Discharge Machining (EDM). Response surface methodology (RSM) is used for investigating the effect on these parameters. Central composite design (CCD) is used f...

The present paper deals with the design of experimental work matrices for two groups of experiments by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The first EDM group was dealt with the use of kerosene dielectric alone, while the second was treated by adding the graphite micro powders mixing to dielectric fluid (PMEDM). The total heat flux generated and fatigue lives after EDM and PMEDM models we...

Abstract Ti–6Al–4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy in aerospace, marine, and biomedical applications. Due to properties of poor machinability conventional machining, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) considered a prospective alternative for machining this strategic material. This study aims at enhancing performance powder mixed EDM (PMEDM) with application two different types powder...

In the original version of book, following belated corrections have been incorporated: The author name “Muthuramalingam Thangaraj” has changed to “Thangaraj Muthumaralingam” in Frontmatter, Backmatter and Chapter 36. book updated with change.

Electric discharge machining is extensively used to process difficult cut materials such as superalloys, composite etc. The quality of can be improved by adding particles into the dielectric fluid which commonly known powder mixed electric (PMEDM). In present study, titanium and graphite are added effects powders have been analysed on material removal rate, surface roughness, microhardness morp...
