Abstract

Wire electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a thermo-electric non-traditional machining process in which material removal takes place through the process of controlled spark generation between a pair of electrodes which are submerged in a dielectric medium. Use of mineral oil based dielectric liquids is the major cause of environmental concerns associated with the WEDM process. In the current work, an independent machining unit has been designed and developed for implementing the wire EDM process. Effect of gap voltage, pulse-on time, peak current, and material removal rate, kerf width and surface finish will be determined. It was experimentally found that although the MRR is higher in wire EDM; surface finish is lower than in dry EDM.
