Abstract
ABSTRACT It is highly essential to enhance the micro EDM process while machining titanium specimens. The utilization of coated electrode and adaptation of optimization algorithms in the process can enhance the material removal mechanism. In the present work, an attempt was made to find the influence of TiN coated tungsten carbide electrode in micro EDM process while machining titanium alloy specimens. It was also attempted to adopt DEAR-based optimization in the process. The TiN coating can produce lower TWR with better surface quality than uncoated tungsten carbide electrode. The capacitance has higher influential nature in µ-EDM since it controls the charging and discharging process during the spark formation across discharge gap. It was found that voltage (Level 3), capacitance (Level 3), and the tool rotation (Level 2) can create better quality measures under the prediction error of 2.3%. The optimal combination can enhance the machining accuracy with tiny craters formation.
