Abstract

Due to wide range of applicability of hard and difficult-to-machine materials like super-alloys (Ti-alloys, Inconel, and Haste-alloy etc), advanced ceramics, composite materials, and high technical characteristics of above-mentioned materials, suitable advanced machining processes are conducted. EDM is one of the most popular advanced machining processes. But the EDM process has low metal removal rate (MRR) so EDD is another machining process as it has relatively higher MRR as compared to EDM. Here electric discharge diamond drilling (EDDD), a hybrid-EDM process comes into the picture in order to improve the machining performance characteristics. The present research aimed to compare the process performance in electrical discharge cutting, drilling and diamond abrasive drilling. The effects of process parameters such as peak current (I), pulse-on time (Ton), and pulse-off time (Toff) were studied on metal removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR) in electrical discharge diamond drilling of Nimonic 75.
