Materials, Vol. 13, Pages 577: Experimental and Numerical Study of Crater Volume in Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (Materials)
 


Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a popular non-conventional machining technology widely used in high-added value sectors such as aerospace, biomedicine, and the automotive industry. Even though the technology is now ready to meet the requirements of the most complex components, certain fundamental aspects related to the discharge process and gap conditions are not yet fully explained and understood. Combining single discharge experiments with numerical simulation represents a good approach for obtaining a deeper insight into the fundamentals of the process. In this paper, a fundamental study of the WEDM through single discharge experiments and numerical simulation is presented. WEDM single discharge experiments are described with the aim of identifying the relation between crater dimensions, discharge gap, and part surface roughness. A thermal transient numerical model of the WEDM process is presented, and correlation with actual industrial material removal rates (MRR) is analyzed. Results from single discharge WEDM experiments show that crater volume is as much as 40% lower when discharging on a rough surface than when the discharge occurs on a flat surface. The proposed thermal numerical model can predict actual removal rates of industrial machines with great accuracy for roughing cuts, deviations with experimental values being below 10%. However, lager deviations have been observed for other WEDM conditions, namely trim cuts, thus confirming the need for future research in this direction.
