Abstract |
|
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is now a well-established machining option in many industries. Cold work tool steel D3 is an important tool mainly because of its high hardness, strength, wear resistance and high melting point. Normally, EDM is capable of machining geometrically complex or hard material component, that are precise and difficult to machine. The objective of this research is to study the performance of different electrode Materials on cold work tool steel D3 workpiece with EDM process. Approach: The electrode materials were aluminum, copper and Brass. The important parameters were peak current, pulse on time. A work piece material was cold work tool steel D3. Results: The results show that the copper electrode gives higher MRR than other two Electrodes. Aluminum electrode gives lowest MRR among other two electrodes. |
