Effect of process parameters on the condition of the wire electrode in WEDM of Ti6Al4V
Conventional machining of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V cause high temperature and rapid wear of tool which makes him hardly suitable for machining by machine cutting. The presented experimental study was carried out on a modern wire EDM Sodick AQ327L. Three types of the wire were used. Investigated were the effects of such input parameters as the pulse width and the time between two pulses on the output parameters such as area cutting efficiency, workpiece surface roughness and wear rate of the electrode. The resulting relationships were determined using the conventional regression analysis and neural networks. The results were checked for goodness of fit
Analysis of the wire electrical discharge machinability of roots of steam turbine blades
This paper presents method for the unconventional machining of the blades of steam turbines. Blade material as
steel X12Cr13 was chosen into the investigation. Blade failures in gas turbine engines often lead to loss of all
downstream stages and can have a dramatic effect on the availability of the turbine engines.. Conventional
machining of the roots of steam turbine blades causes high temperature and rapid wear of tool which makes
machining expensive WEDM is currently regarded among the most popular non-conventional machining.
WEDM allows treatment of hard, brittle materials and composite, irrespective of their structure (thin-wall
components) and mechanical properties. Submitted work is an analysis of potential impact on the received
thickness of heat affected zone by appropriate heat treatment of material prior to WEDM. Such action is intended
to eliminate or reduce the initiating impact of any microcracks on the formation of surface defects on the turbine
blades roots during operation. The aim of the article is to replace the traditional methods of machining the blades
roots by WEDM and thus the elimination of problems such as the need to monitor the tool wear. The presented
experimental study was carried out on a modern wire EDM Sodick AQ327L. Investigated were the effects
of WEDM of X12Cr13 steel as the Heat Affected Zone, the micro-fractures and surface roughness parameters
