Abstract
Pattern generation on aluminium (Al)-6061 work surface is performed using green compacts of powder metallurgical (PM) made of copper-tungsten (Cu-W) tool. Compact load (CL) and peak current (Ip) are the variable process factors and surface roughness (Ra) and edge deviation (ED) are considered performance measures. The Ra is obtained in the range of 4.20 µm - 6.56 µm whereas ED is measured in the range of 17.29 µm - 68.98 µm. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS) are performed to validate tool particle migration on the pattern surface. It can be concluded that the performance measures depend upon the masking thickness, its resisting capacity to high temperature and the uniformity of the coating.
