In the present work, an experimental investigation on wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of Monel-400 has been presented. Monel-400 is a nickel–copper-based alloy, mostly employed in ships and corrosion-resisting applications. Four input WEDM parameters namely discharge current (Ip), pulse-on time (Ton), pulse-off time (Toff) and servo voltage (SV) have been investigated and modeled for...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a method to cut conductive materials with a thin electrode that follows a programmed path. The electrode is a thin wire. Typical diameters range from .004" - .012" (.10mm - .30mm) although smaller and larger diameters are available. WEDM is a thermal machining process capable of accurately machining parts with varying hardness or complex shapes. WED...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a special form of traditional electrical discharge machining in which the electrode is a continuously moving conducting wire. The mechanism of metal removal in wire electrical discharge machining involves the complex erosion effect from electric sparks generated by a pulsating direct current power supply. The sparks generated between two closely spa...

The increasing demand of micro or miniature parts and the development of the micro machining processes are the cause of the growing of micro wire electrical discharge machining (μ-WEDM). μ-WEDM has the ability to manufacture complicate shapes with high accuracy and provides the advantage of machining any conductive materials regardless of their mechanical properties in the absence of significan...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is extensively used in machining of conductive materials when precision is of prime importance. Rough cutting operation in WEDM is treated as a challenging one because improvement of more than one machining performance measures viz. metal removal rate (MRR), surface finish (SF) and cutting width (kerf) are sought to obtain a precision work. Using Taguc...

The high-speed wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM-HS) machine has been more and more favoured by customers for the low manufacturing cost, the degree of automation and the advantages over the WEDM-LS in price performance ratio. However, the processing quality (the precision of form and position and the surface quality) of WEDM-HS is poorer than that of WEDM-LS, and the processing quality...

In this paper, fuzzy logic integrated with the Taguchi method is used to optimize Wire Electro Discharge Machining (WEDM) process with multiple quality characteristics. Rough machining with EDM gives poor surface finish and has micro cracks and pores. Finish machining gives better surface finish but with very poor machining speed (MRR). Spark gap width is one of the important performance measur...
