Influences and Optimization of Electrical Discharge Machining of AISI 2205

Abstract

Abstract The effective implementation of any machining process relies on its ability to machine the component with high efficiency and with excellent surface finish. Electrical discharge machining is a non-conventional method of machining which is well developed and is used for the manufacture of components which have geometrically complex shapes and intricate profiles. In the present research an attempt has been made to determine the optimized process parameters of electrical discharge machining of duplex stainless steel (DSS) AISI 2205. Process parameters are optimized and selected based on resulted material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). Taguchi method is used for design of experiments and their analyses to determine best suitable parameters for AISI 2205 machining.
