Abstract
ABSTRACTIn the present work, a parametric study of EDM process using Argon-Gas-Assisted EDM (AGAEDM) with rotary tool during machining of high chromium high carbon diesteel has been performed. The pulse on time, tool rotation, discharge current, duty cycle, and gas pressure were selected as process factors. The effects of process factors were investigated on responses viz. surface roughness (SR), material removal rate (MRR), and electrode wear ratio (EWR). A comparison between solid tool, air-assisted tool, and argon-assisted tool has also been presented. It was found that EWR and SR were less during AGAEDM process as compared to rotary EDM(REDM) with solid tool and air-assisted EDM (AAEDM) with rotary tool under same process parameters. However, MRR was found to be higher in AAEDM process. The regression analysis and analysis of variance have been done to develop and find the adequacy of the developed models of MRR, EWR, and SR. It was observed that surface integrity of workpiece machined by AGAEDM was better than workpiece machined by AAEDM and conventional REDM process.
