Effect of input parameters on sr and mrr for tool steel aisi l2 by electric discharge machine (EDM)‎

الملخص EN

Electric discharge machine (EDM) or may be call electric spark machine is one of the most important cutting process or manufacturing process because it gives high accurate dimension and can be produced the most complex shape.

In this present material removal rate and surface roughness for tool steel AISI L2 studied.

The input parametric for this process is current, pulse on time (Ton) and pulse off time (Toff).

A full factorial method is used to formulate machine parameters and find the optimal process parameters of an electric spark.

The result shows that the Surface roughness increasing with increasing current and pulse on time is increases while no effect by increase in pulse off time.

Best surface roughness when using low current and pulse in time.

The material removal rate is increasing with increasing in current and pulse on time while decreasing when pulse of time is increased.

The experimented and predicted values by using Minilab17 software of this process are approximately equal.
