Design of Experiments, Inconel 600, Recast Layer, Wire Electric Discharge MachiningAbstract
In this investigation, Inconel 600 is used as the workpiece material, which is typically applied in aerospace products, chemical processing equipment, furnace parts etc., due to its good resistance to stress and wear resistance. In this work, the effect of machining parameters of Wire Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) process is investigated. Molybdenum wire electrode of 0.1mm diameter and de-ionized water dielectric medium are used for machining. Voltage, Pulse on-time, Pulse Off-time, Peak Current and Bed speed are considered as the machining parameters. Recast layer thickness is considered as the response parameter. The type of design of experiments considered for this work is Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal array. Analysis of variance is indicating the percentage contribution of each machining parameters on response parameters. The optimum combination of machining parameters yielded minimum Recast layer thickness 4.11μm.
