    The project report summarizes an analysis of the effect of current and voltage on material removal rate during electric discharge machining of EN31 and D3 steel alloys. Electric discharge machining was used to machine samples of EN31 and D3 steel at different voltage and current levels, and material removal rates were measured and recorded in observation tables. The project aims to understand how voltage and current impact material removal rate for these alloys during EDM.

    D3
    • D-3 steel is a steel that is vacuum heat treated
    i.e raised to a high temp and rapidly cooled by a
    vacuum process.
    • It is a difficult material to machine and requires
    a special wheel for surface grinding after heat
    treatment.
    • D-3 is a high-carbon high-chromium tool steel
    manufactured for high abrasive wear
    applications.

    Process Used

    • To meet the objective, ELECTRIC DISCHARGE


    MACHINING (EDM) Process is used.
    ELECTRIC DISCHARGE MACHINING
    • It is a controlled metal-removal process that is
    used to remove metal by means of electric
    spark erosion.
    Principle of EDM
    • In this process an electric spark is used as the
    cutting tool to cut (erode) the workpiece to
    produce the finished part to the desired shape
    • The metal-removal process is performed by
    applying a pulsating (ON/OFF) electrical charge
    of high-frequency current through the
    electrode to the workpiece.
    • This removes (erodes) very tiny pieces of metal
    from the workpiece at a controlled rate.
    • With the EDM process both the workpiece
    material and the electrode,material must be
    conductors of electricity.
    DESCRIPTION
    • The electrode and the workpiece are both
    submerged in a dielectric fluid, which is
    generally light lubricating oil.
    • A servomechanism maintains a space of about
    the thickness of a human hair between the
    electrode and the work, preventing them from
    contacting each other.
    Dielectric Fluids
    • During the EDM process the workpiece and the
    electrode are submerged in the dielectric oil.
    • It is an electrical insulator that helps to control
    the arc discharge.
    • The dielectric oil, that provides a means of
    flushing, is pumped through the arc gap.
    • This removes suspended particles of workpiece
    material and electrode from the work cavity
    Servo Mechanism
    • It automatically maintains a constant gap of
    about the thickness of a human hair between
    the electrode and the workpiece.
    • It is important for both machine types that there
    is no physical contact between the electrode
    and the workpiece, otherwise arcing could
    damage the workpiece and break the wire.
    • maintain the proper arc gap which is essential to
    a successful machining operation.
    ADVANTAGES OF EDM
    • Complex shapes that would otherwise be
    difficult to produce with conventional cutting
    tools.
    • Extremely hard material to very close
    tolerances.
    • Very small work pieces where conventional
    cutting tools may damage the part from excess
    cutting tool pressure.
    CONTINUED....
    • There is no direct contact between tool and
    work piece. Therefore delicate sections and
    weak materials can be machined without any
    distortion.
    • A good surface finish can be obtained.
    • Very fine holes can be easily drilled.
    DISADVANTAGES OF EDM
    • The slow rate of material removal.
    • Reproducing sharp corners on the workpiece
    is difficult due to electrode wear.
    • Power consumption is high.
    • Excessive tool wear occurs during machining.
