Abstract
The amount of electrode wear in micro-EDM has a direct effect on the dimensional accuracy of the machined hole. Therefore, improving the corrosion resistance of electrodes in micro-EDM is still of great interest. The effective coating of thin film for the micro tool electrodes in the case of micro-EDM can lead to minimize the electrode wear which eventually improve the productivity and machining quality. In the present study, experiments were performed on micro-EDM using carbon coated tool electrode and optimized using Taguchi-Topsis to investigate optimum levels of Depth of cut ( Z ) and overcut ( OVC ). It was concluded that optimum conditions had improved significantly using carbon coated micro tool electrode. Optimal levels of technological parameters include V = 160 V, C = 10000 pF, RPM = 600 rpm, and Z opt = 2.525 mm, OVC opt = 65.257 m. The quality of the machined surface with the coated electrode at optimal conditions is analysed and evaluated. The Topsis method is a suitable solution to this problem, and the steps to perform the calculation in this technique are simple.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Machine Engineering is a scientific journal devoted to current issues of design and manufacturing - aided by innovative computer techniques and state-of-the-art computer systems - of products which meet the demands of the current global market. It favours solutions harmonizing with the up-to-date manufacturing strategies, the quality requirements and the needs of design, planning, scheduling and production process management. The Journal'' s subject matter also covers the design and operation of high efficient, precision, process machines. The Journal is a continuator of Machine Engineering Publisher for five years. The Journal appears quarterly, with a circulation of 100 copies, with each issue devoted entirely to a different topic. The papers are carefully selected and reviewed by distinguished world famous scientists and practitioners. The authors of the publications are eminent specialists from all over the world and Poland. Journal of Machine Engineering provides the best assistance to factories and universities. It enables factories to solve their difficult problems and manufacture good products at a low cost and fast rate. It enables educators to update their teaching and scientists to deepen their knowledge and pursue their research in the right direction.
