Abstract |
|
In this paper, the parameters used in the cutting of Cemented Tungsten Carbide using wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) with a Brass electrode was optimized using Taguchi method. Taguchi method is used to formulate the experimental layout and to analyze the effect of each parameter on the machining characteristics. Also it is used to predict the optimal choice for each parameter such as peak current, voltage, and pulse duration and interval time. It was found that these parameters have significant influence on machining characteristics such as Metal Removal Rate (MRR) and Surface Roughness (SR). The result of the work reveals that, the peak current significantly affects the Surface Roughness (SR) and the pulse duration mainly affects the Metal Removal Rate (MRR). |
