Sumit Pamnani, Sunil Swami Dubey, Sharda Pratap Shrivas
ABSTRACT
Electrochemical machining has vast application in automotive, Aircrafts, petroleum, aerospace, textile, medical and electronic industries. Studies on Material removal rate (MRR) are of extremely important in ECM, since it is one of the factors to be determined in the process decisions. The aim of present work is to investigate the metal removal rate, overcut and surface roughness of mild steel of diameter 50 mm as work piece by using copper electrode and brine solution as electrolyte by using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array approach. Then optimized the best set of process variables for higher MRR, lower surface roughness and overcut. Three parameters were chosen as process variables are: voltage, tool Feed rate, and Electrolyte concentration.
