“…Some important studies has also been done on the machinability of steels in WEDM (9)(10)(11). In addition, important study has been done to optimize the WEDM parameters (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). While there is much studies with the weldability of hardox steels (20)(21), there are very few studies on machinability.…”

In this study, microstructure, mechanical, and conductivity characteristics of Hardox 400 steel were changed with different heat treatments and effect of such characteristics on its machinability with Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM). Optical microscope examinations were performed to determine various characteristics, and additionally microhardness and conductivity measurements were conducted hereof. L18 Taquchi test design was conducted with three levels and four different parameters to determine the effect of such alterations on its machinability with WEDM and post-processing Cutting width (kerf), Surface roughness (Ra), Material removal rate (MRR) values were determined. Micro changes were ensured successfully by using applied heat treatments. The best kerf value was obtained from sample 6 which was tempered from 350 °C. The microstructure of this sample was composed of commonly α ferrite and few pearlites. The best Ra value was obtained from sample 3 which was tempered from 200 °C. The microstructure of this sample was composed of few α ferrite and commonly pearlites. The best MRR value was obtained from sample 5 which was tempered from 300 °C. The microstructure of this sample was composed of almost equally α ferrite and pearlites. Additionally the most effective parameters on Ra were determined as hardox and current. The most effective parameters on kerf and MRR were determined as time off and hardox.

Unconventional machining processes are used where traditional machining processes are unable to meet the necessary requirements efficiently and economically. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is one such machi:ning process. It is widely used in machining of conductive materials when precision is of primary significance. This paper presents the literature review of previous work done by researchers on WEDM for optimization using different techniques like improving performance characteristics, optimizing process variables, monitoring and controlling the sparking process, simplifying the wire design and improving spark efficiency.

Abstract-Electro discharge machining (EDM) processis a well-established advanced machining process for producing complex geometry with close tolerances in these materials that are extremely difficult-to-machine by conventional machining processes. EDM process offers a better alternative or sometimes the only alternative for generating accurate three dimensional complex shapes of macro, micro and nano features in difficult-tomachine materials among other advanced machining processes. The success of the EDM process depends upon the selection of appropriate process parameters. The selection of preferred process parameters plays a significant role to ensure quality of product and to reduce the machining cost in computer controlled machining process. Hence, Optimization methods applied for machining process are necessary for continuous improvement of the machining process. The objective of this paper is to offer comprehensive knowledge concerning the optimization of electro discharge machining of superalloys and composites materials.
