III. Which of the following is/are used as low wearing tool material(s) in electric discharge machining? This can produce a very fine finish with a smaller recast layer. Hence, in EMM, the mechanism of metal removal is not only governed by Faraday's law but also by several other factors such as resistance of double-layer capacitance, Warburg impedance, and charge transfer resistance, which play important roles in the microscopic domain. These phenomena indicate that material removal from the polishing process can be maximized only when there is a synergy effect between the mechanical and the chemical action during the polishing process. In research work variation of cutting performance with pulse on time, pulse off time, wire type, and peak current were experimentally investigated in wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) process. There are many hard materials like composites, High strength temperature resistant (HSTR) Super alloys which can be machined by this process [2]. As the electrode moves out through its orbiting pattern, the machine can be programmed to continually reduce the amperage. As the wafer velocity increased, material removal per sliding distance decreased. However, electrode material removal rate is much lower than work material removal rate. Theoretical MRR based on equivalent electrical circuit model (Eq. An Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is most essential in the machining of hard and complex geometrical material which is difficult to machine by conventional machining technique. MRR depends not only on the workpiece material but on the material of the tool electrode and the machining variables such as pulse conditions, electrode polarity, and the machining medium. In this study, new numerical models are developed for predicting the material removal rate and surface roughness of surfaces undergoing EDM as a function of process parameters separately. At the lower wafer velocity, the slurry film becomes thinner and more pad asperity is in contact with the wafer surface. The off-time is set as short as possible to maintain stable machining conditions. It is aimed to develop the ANN model using an input-output pattern of raw data collected from an experimental The non-orbiting electrode wears more at the end and corners while the cavity side walls taper. This causes accelerated wear in the corner areas of the electrode. The following table compares these three methods of measuring surface finish. The wafer with low velocity, however, will interact more with the pad and the abrasive due to thinner slurry film. Effects of some key process parameters, wire feed rate, pulse on-time and part 2. The downforce on the wafer and the rotational speed of the wafer were changed and the friction applied on the wafer surface was monitored. removal rate (MRR). Although it is possible to obtain no-wear conditions with graphite from any of the five classifications, not all electrode/workmetal combinations can be put in a no-wear condition. However, they can become very expensive indeed when applied to the wrong job. 6, pp. The amount can be calculated by measuring the length of the electrode before the cut and after the cut and subtracting the length after the cut from the original length. At the experimental set-up to measure the friction force on the wafer surface, the polishing platen was connected to a load cell while it is at a fixed position (Figure 1.2). I. Ultrasonic Machining (USM) has metal removal rate of about 5-10 mm 3 /s. Figure 1.5. Side wear is caused by particles which have been flushed out of the cutting gap. fluid. (3.32)) is much more accurate compared to basic MRR model based on Eqn (3.21), as observed from Fig. 3.8. Generally, graphite with small particles and high strength will wear slower than graphites with large particles (figure 6-6). The application of workpiece vibration in the micro-EDM process improved flushing efficiency and enhanced material removal rate (MRR).,In this work, the two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element method (FEM) has been developed to predict … The mechanism of material removal in EDM process is (a) Melting and Evaporation (b) Melting and … This is due to copper being a good thermal conductor. It will flush away the removed material from the spark gap [1]. current, voltage and pulse on time on material removal rate and tool wear rate in electrical discharge machining of Inconel 718 by using brass electrode. Achieving an efficient MRR is not simply a matter of the right machine settings. It was explained that the rate of mass transportation during glass polishing is determined by five factors: the rate of water diffusion into the glass surface, the dissolution of the glass under the applied load, the adsorption rate of the dissolved material onto the abrasive surface, the redeposition of the dissolved material onto the surface of the work piece, and the aqueous corrosion between particle impacts. The final surface finish will be a mirror image of the electrodes’ surface. Figure 1.3. For calculation of theoretical MRR based on Eqn (3.32), different data are mainly considered from Table 3.1 and for estimation of theoretical MRR based on Eqn (3.21), different data are mainly considered from Table 3.2. material removal rate in EDM process. The ability of an electrode material to produce and maintain detail is directly related to its resistance to wear and its machinability. It is shown that for silicon nitride ceramics, the MRR can reach over 30 mm3 s−1 while maintaining a roughness value of Ra ≈ 0.5 μm. 1. S.H.Tomadi et al. 3 Schematic representation of crater formation in EDM process. No-wear comparisons for different graphite classifications. Therefore, the more pad asperity in contact with the wafer surface, the more material removal per sliding distance can be expected. Electro-Chemical Machining (ECM) has the highest metal removal rate of about 200-300 mm 3 /s 3. The number of the active abrasives depends on the actual gap, or the slurry film thickness between the polishing pad and the wafer surface. Volumetric wear can be calculated by weight or any other unit of measure common to the workmetal and the electrode. As the concentration of particle increases the material removal rate initially increases and then decreases. Figure 6-6. Somashekhar et al developed a In both cases, the wafer traveled the same distance. Material removal per sliding distance using the regular polishing slurry was corrected for comparison. Nodules may form on the end of the electrode and distort the shape of the electrode (figure 6-7). The damage on the surface and subsurface is diminished by the application of very low polishing loads. The mechanism of material removal is same as the common EDM process. (2002) derived a mathematical model for the material removal rate of a cylindrical wire EDM process. “All EDM machining is performed unattended, so the direct labor rate and manufacturing cost are typically lower for EDM than other methods,” said Pfluger. However, material removal during the identical distance changes depending on how fast the wafer travels the distance. [1] presented the process simulation and residual stress analysis for the micro-EDM machining on molybdenum. Figure 1. Illustration of CMP with different slurry film thickness [8]. The abrasives in the polishing slurry were separated by using a centrifuge process and were mixed with deionized (DI) water to create a chemical-less polishing slurry (Figure 1.8). In this research work, the material removal rate (MRR) is studied by optimizing the μ-EDM process parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, voltage gap and duration. 231–239. 231–239. No-wear settings do not produce the fastest metal removal rates. The slurry film thickness or gap can determine the contact area of the pad asperity where the active abrasives are trapped and engaged for the abrasion process. Most graphites are easily machined. Response surface analysis and ANOVA techniques are used for data analysis while RSM’s D-Optimal Method is … Figure 6-8. In the condition of low downforce or high wafer velocity, wafer behavior can be the opposite. Materials and Manufacturing Processes: Vol. experimental result they concluded that low feed rate, capacitance and voltage such combination of optimized parameters gives low value of surface roughness. Parameters Considered for Theoretical MRR, Eqn (3.32), Table 3.2. In summary, the material removal mechanism during dielectric CMP can be defined as the abrasives that are trapped between the wafer surface and the polishing pad asperity make an abrasion action against the wafer surface that was chemically modified. The experiment was designed as per L9 orthogonal array method. Detailed calculations were performed based on the two above-mentioned MRR models and the results are plotted in graphs as shown in Fig. 3.8 to exhibit the pattern of variation of actual MRR and theoretical MRR based on Eqn (3.21) and Eqn (3.32), respectively [12]. Too much plating action will cause the electrode to grow. It has also been observed that the model based on equivalent electrical circuit is closer to the actual experimental observations and has been proved to be accurate. The sharper the angle, the more sparks are generated in this area and the more heat buildup. The Stribeck curve explains the relationship between the coefficient of friction and the lubrication thickness with a certain constant called Hersey number. If an electrode can successfully resist erosion at its most vulnerable points, then overall wear will be minimized and maximum electrode life achieved. X. Dong, Y.C. Both slurries were used in the polishing test using the oxide wafer and material removal per sliding distance was measured (Figure 1.9). At higher frequency, machining is highly localized within the resolution of machining limited by charging time constant τ = ρS Cd h. Thus, the charged double-layer area decreases with an increase in pulsed frequency, and hence the charging time constant also decreases because of changes in values of Cd and h. At high pulsed frequency, time per cycle is very small, and if this time is less than the charging time constant, τ, for a machining zone, there will be no machining, which may be observed by extrapolating the lines representing the theoretical MRR (Eqn (3.32)) as well as experimental MRR. 7. Figure 1.8. 2. 48 EDM – Material Removal Rate In EDM, the metal is removed from both workpiece and tool electrode. At high frequencies, the experimental rate of metal removal is less than the theoretical rate of metal removal. There are four different types of wear: volumetric, corner, end, and side (figure 6-3). The indentation process by each abrasive was modeled by Hertzian contact and their contact stress was calculated from the theory of elasticity. A large cavity with no detail would typically require a material that would provide a high metal removal rate, good wear, and be available in a large size at a reasonable cost. MRR depends not only on the workpiece material but on the material of the tool electrode and the machining variables such as pulse conditions, electrode polarity, and the machining medium. The cutting tools are electric The mechanical portion of the material removal mechanism is crucial in obtaining the MRR in the CMP process. In the dry pad condition, however, the friction force remained constant with the wafer velocity since there is no lubrication film under the wafer surface. As indicated in the Stribeck curve, the wafer with high velocity will interact less with the pad and the abrasive due to thicker slurry film. Figure 1.7. True corner wear is then obtained by adding the amount of end wear to the apparent corner wear. Figure 1.6. Philip Allen et al. machining process called Electrical discharge machining [1]. 5: Properties and Characteristics of Graphite, EDM ELECTRODE MATERIAL CLASSIFICATIONS AND APPLICATIONS, 6: Five Key Factors in Electrode Material Selection, 7: Practical Applications of The Five Key Factors In Electrode Material Selection. During EDM operation, electrode material is also removed gradually along with workpiece material. The work materials used was Magnesium nanocomposites (reinforced with 1.98% and 2.50% Titanium Carbide). Material removal is analyzed using a thermo-numerical model, which simulates a single spark discharge process. the material remove rate is sufficiently accurate. Figure 6-7. The experimental MRR is much less than the theoretical MRR based on Eqn (3.21). Previous literature also showed that the MRR is simply zero without abrasive particles inside the slurry [7]. “All EDM machining is performed unattended, so the direct labor rate and manufacturing cost are typically lower for EDM than other methods,” said Pfluger. The best example of a machining process is generating a cylindrical surface from a metal stock with the help of a lathe. Angstrofine and Ultrafine graphites with high strength and small particles are the best choices for finishing electrodes (figure 6-9). Tool steel, on the other hand, has a higher melting point, but is not as good a thermal conductor and therefore has better metal removal rates than copper. The maximum detail that may be obtained in graphite is limited by the material strength, particle and pore size. The influence of factors In the laser machining process, MRR (Material Removal Rate) depends on the wavelength used because it will decide the amount of energy impinged on it. The amount of taper is determined by measuring the bottom of the cut and subtracting it from the top of the cut. This energy can be dissipated in three ways: In the workpiece — MRR is influenced by the physical properties of the workpiece material. This material removal mechanism is illustrated in Figure 1.10. No-wear EDMing is considered to be 1% or less electrode wear. Machining time can be wasted by trying to machine in more detail than the material can handle. Vanes 0.020" thick and over 1.0" high with flush holes 0.005" diameter are attainable with Angstrofine and Ultrafine class graphites. At the other extreme, a very small cavity with razor sharp detail would typically require a grade in the Angstrofine classification where a good surface finish, very good wear resistance, and machinability are critical. Electrode erosion cannot be completely eliminated, but it can be minimized by choosing the proper electrode material/workmetal combination and machining at the optimum settings. The material removal rate in EEM process depends on the concentration of powder particle, spherical head rotational speed during finishing operation. As the pulse on time increases, the material removal rate increases. Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) has metal removal rate of about 10-20 mm 3 /s. Figure 6—1 Because copper is a good thermal conductor the energy dissipates in the workmetal giving a really low metal removal rate. Figure 6-8 shows the approximate minimum on-time required to achieve a no-wear condition for each class of graphite. The Stribeck curve shows that the friction force applied on the moving surface decreases with the relative velocity of the moving object in the presence of lubrication.
