(a)
To study and understand the basic working principle of wire-cut EDM machine
and to study the effect of different operation parameters of Wire-cut EDM.
6.2. Introduction:
6.4.1. Advantages:
Complex profiles and intricate part can be machined easily
Hard material can be cut (e.g. titanium)
High water pressure removes debris quickly and with ease
Compressive stresses are very less on workpiece
6.4.2. Disadvantages:
Temperature of water is up to 1200 o C which effects the surface of
workpiece creating Heat affected Zones (HAZ)
Process is time consuming (Material removal rate is slow)
Only cut conductive materials
6.5. Applications of Wire-Cut EDM
Wire EDM is used for cutting aluminium, brass, copper, carbides, graphite, steels
and titanium. The wire material varies with the application requirements.
Example: for quicker cutting action, zinc-coated brass wires are used while for
more accurate applications, molybdenum wires are used.
(b)
To study and analyze the effect of wire feed rate and wire tension on the cut
quality WEDM of aluminium part by measuring the surface tension of
workpiece of different cuts at different feed rate and wire tension.
On Time= 1sec
Off Time= 20sec
Open Voltage=75
Servo Voltage= 47
6.7.2. Varying Parameters:
Feed rate:
6.8. Procedure:
