the micro wire electrical discharge machining (micro wire-edm) process is a modern machining process with various applications in manufacturing micro-parts. the recast layer remaining on the machined surfaces is an inevitable complication of this process. this layer can subsequently affect the machined parts performance. to optimize the recast layer in the micro wire-edm of the molybdenum micro...

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...

The e-glass fibre epoxy composite is a nonconductive ceramic material hence it is difficult to machine by any well known non-conventional machining methods like electrical discharge machining, wire electrical discharge machining etc. This material can be machined with conventional machining but compromise with accuracy, surface texture even not possible to micro slicing etc. Keeping in view, a ...

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...

in this study, as for the re-casting, surface alloying and re-solidification layer of this alloys at the work piece level machining with wire electro discharge machining (wedm), changes of surface micro hardness with changes of operational parameters has been studied. therefore, study shows using surface alloying phenomena with the diffusion of wire material into the machined surface and select...

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...

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...

correct selection of manufacturing condition is one of the most important aspects which should be considered in the majority of manufacturing processes,  particularly in the process related to advanced machining process like electrical discharge machining. in electrical discharge machining (edm), dielectric fluid plays an important role since machining characteristics are greatly influenced by ...
