ABSTRACT In this investigation, an experimental study in cylindrical wire EDM machining parameters followed by statistical analysis is presented for cross-feed turning process. At first, the features of rotary spindle are presented. The spindle has been mounted on a conventional four-axis wire EDM machine to provide the workpiece rotation in order to generate free form cylindrical geometries. Several experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of six design factors: the depth of cut (a), gab (g), spindle rotational speed (n), pulse time-on (), wire feed speed () and interval time () on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) as an indicators of the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the process. Stainless steel k316 is one of the difficult-to-machine material, was used in this study. An L18 (× ) Taguchi standard orthogonal array is chosen for the design of experiments (DOE) due to the number of factors and their levels in the investigation. Mini tab Software version 16 was used to determine the main effects of the process parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to find the dependent variables that effect the machining characteristics, Regression analysis is performed to find out the relationship between the different factors and responses, S/N ratio analysis is used to establish the optimum condition. | ||||
