Abstract
Abstract Titanium diboride is a highly used material in aerospace industry due of its remarkable longevity. Its strength poses a problem to traditional machining methods. We want to improve the EDM process parameters in TiB2 material by comparing two different dielectric fluids and four different electrode materials. The input parameters were adjusted to find the optimal combination. By studying the fluctuations of output parameters such as MRR, TWR, SR and overcut when processing titanium diboride, researchers can gain valuable insights. This is achieved through experimental studies and the results are then verified using a theoretical regression model. Experimental results confirmed that discharge current, voltage and Ton had a remarkable influence on MRR, TWR and surface roughness in TiB2 material. It has been observed that tool wear rate when using kerosene-based dielectric fluids is higher than that of deionized water-based dielectric fluids. Tungsten copper electrodes cause slightly less tool wear than tungsten electrodes, and produce higher MRR overall, when compared to other three electrode materials. Using a dielectricand a copper electrode can help you obtain a smoother surface. When deionized water is used as adielectric fluid with tungsten electrodes, the crossover value drops dramatically. Brass electrodesproduce ahigher overcut value compared to the other three electrode materials. The microstructure of the EDM hole was distinguished by SEM analysis, and the material composition of TIB2 was determined by EDS analysis
