Machinability Evaluation of Cryogenically Tempered Die Steel in Electric Discharge Drilling

The research investigation reported on the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness (Ra) in electric discharge drilling of Inconel 718. Machining was done by using a copper tool electrode. Machining was conducted by considering different process parameters viz. tool diameter, discharge current, pulse on time, pulse off time, tool rotation and depth of hole. Optical surface profiler was used to measure surface roughness of drilled hole in work-piece. Design of experiment was created by Taguchi method based L18 orthogonal array. For minimum surface roughness, optimum parameters were found using Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Based on analysis, it is found that pulse off time, pulse on time and tool rotation are the most significant parameters that affect the surface roughness. Tool diameter is the less significant parameter that affects the surface roughness. Regression analysis was used to predict a value for minimum surface roughness. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were used to identify the microstructure of the drilled hole in Inconel 718 work-piece. Interaction plots and residual plot have been plotted for surface roughness to identify the interaction between parameters and residual errors, respectively.
