Abstract:Improving the surface hardness of molds after EDM is still being challenged by many researchers. In this research, an effort was made to enhance the surface hardness of die steel though adding metal powder to dielectric and optimization parameters of EDM. process factors are workpiece types, concentrations, powder types, and electrical variables of the machine. Taguchi’s method has been used to design experiment and the results have been analyzed by ANOVA. The influence of the factors on micro hardness was eva… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
