AISI 630 (17-4 PH) is a martensitic stainless steel type produced by precipitation hardening heat treatment. It is a material that is difficult to process with traditional manufacturing methods due to its high strength and hardness. Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is often used as a very effective method for processing hard-to-cut materials. One of the most critical parameters in EDM is discharge current. Surface characterization of the samples processed at 7A, 12A, 22A current values was performed by linear surface roughness results, XRD, and SEM analysis. As a result of the study, it was seen that the current significantly affects the surface characterization of AISI 630 (17-4 PH) stainless steel with EDM.
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.
