Experimental investigations have been carried out to relate the effect of input machining parameters such as pulse on-time (Ton), pulse off-time (Toff), wire feed (WF), and average gap voltage (V) on the wire offset in WEDM. No analytical approach gives the exact amount of offset required in WEDM and hence experimental study has been undertaken. In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed to model the machinability evaluation through the response surface methodology (RSM) capable of predicting the response parameter as a function of Ton, Toff, WF and V. The samples are tested and their average prediction error has been calculated taking the average of all the individual prediction errors. The result shows that this mathematical model reflects the independent, quadratic and interactive effects of the various machining parameters on cutting speed in WEDM process.展开更多

The experimental measurements are in a good agreement with the results calculated by this new wire melting rate model, with the maximum discrepancy being less than 10%. Therefore it is evident that this new numerical model can successfully describe the dependence of wire melting rate on the duty cycle β and offset α.展开更多
