Abstract
Wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) is one amongst the unconventional machining processes which might cut all kinds of shapes with an accuracy of +/−0.001mm. It will cut the materials that conduct electricity and can even cut the exotic metals like tungsten carbide, Hastelloy, Inconel etc. In the present work, machining on Inconel 600 by wire EDM with cryogenically treated brass wire is performed. Brass wire of 0.25mm diameter has been cryogenically treated at −90°C, −100°C and −110°C temperatures separately. An Experimental layout is designed as per Taguchi’s L-9 orthogonal array and experiments were conducted by varying machining parameters viz. Voltage, Pulse ON time and Pulse OFF time. The machining parameters are optimized using Taguchi’s methodology for minimum surface roughness and maximum metal removal rate (MRR). A Mathematical regression model for surface roughness and MRR is generated with the help of regression analysis. Through the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) It was found that for MRR, pulse on time is the foremost contributing factor with 32.69% and for surface roughness, pulse off time is the foremost contributing factor with 23.59%.
