Comparative Study for the effect of Powder mixed dielectric on Performance of Wire EDM - A Literature Review

  Jigar Saliya

Wire cut EDM process is an extended form of Electrical Discharge Machining. Input parameters of Wire EDM such as Pulse ON time, Pulse Off time, Peak current, wire tension, wire speed etc. have major effect on the performance of the process. Wire cut EDM process is evaluated on the basis of surface finish, MRR, machining time and wire erosion. Main emphasis in this review is to identify the process parameters, performance measures, effect of parameters on performance and optimization. Use of powder mixed dielectric is the main focus of the review. Nowadays, application of DOE, optimization techniques are playing vital role to establish the relation between input and output. They provide best combinations of parameters for desired quality. Experimental studies have been conducted under varying pulse ON time, pulse OFF time and peak current. Effect of mixing powder in dielectric on quality characteristics (Surface finish, kerf width and machining time) and have been studied.
