This article presents an experimental investigation to assess the influence of input process parameters of machinability of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process for machining of triple-reinforced silicon carbide, graphite, and iron oxide hybrid aluminum (Al-6061) metal matrix composites. The composite work specimens, developed using stir casting process, have been processed through WEDM process by adopting a statistically controlled design of experimentation approach. Furthermore, analysis of variance and regression analysis have been performed to understand the influence of the input process parameters on material removal rate (MRR) and spark gap (SG) width. The statistical analysis highlighted the improvements in MRR and SG by 33.72% and −27.28%, respectively, upon adopting the suggested optimized range of input process parameters. Further, the morphology of the machined composite surfaces has also been studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy to report the phenomenon of formation of recast layer.

“…We then placed this crucible in an electrical vertical muffle furnace. As a matter of fact, stir casting furnace using electrical energy is the most common, and among that, electrical resistance is the most frequently used technique [6]. We then preheated the crucible to a temperature of about 850 0 C. Preheating of reinforcement results in uniform distribution and better mechanical properties [7].…”

The Al 6061 alloy based Al- SiC metal matrix composite is rated as one of the most commonly used Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) today. The MMC specimens studied in this research work were fabricated with the stir casting process. This research work studies important parameters in the wire electric discharge machining of Al-SiC 6061 MMC. We employed Taguchi approach to study the machining parameters during the machining process and to minimize the surface roughness values of the surfaces obtained by Wire EDM (Wire Electric Discharge Machine) machining. We found out that out of the seven factors used in this study, gap voltage during the wire EDM machining is the most prominent factor which influences the obtained surface roughness values. Comparatively, a very low value of surface roughness (Rq) was obtained by us during confirmation test by us
