Study of Process Parameters and Performance Measure of Wire Electrical Discharge Machining

WEDM is a machine which deals with complex 3D cutting, shaping and machining of the conductive material of any type which may be steel, aluminum, copper. It is totally a non-traditional method. This paper is an endeavored attempt of author to provide the deep and most comprehensive knowledge about the study of crucial element of manufacturing industry, i.e., Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM). This study starts with the introduction of the WEDM and its distinguishing characteristics from Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM). This paper deals with consideration of effect of various input parameters like TON, TOFF, wire feed, wire tension on performance measure like material removal rate, surface roughness, kerf width, recast layer. This study concludes that wire feed and wire tension witness no change while checking the effect with material removal rate. This research paper is well-equipped with tables and graph to seek in-depth information regarding the topic.
