Enhancement of machining performance during electrical discharge machining of stainless steel with carbon nanotube powder added dielectric fluid

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a nontraditional process of removing material from an electrically conductive work piece. It produces sparks to produce any desired shape cavity or geometry. The demand for good surface finish of a workpiece in EDM has developed a new method to improve surface...

Enhancement of machining performance during electrical discharge machining of stainless steel with carbon nanotube powder added dielectric fluid
description Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a nontraditional process of removing material from an electrically conductive work piece. It produces sparks to produce any desired shape cavity or geometry. The demand for good surface finish of a workpiece in EDM has developed a new method to improve surface condition where powder material is added to dielectric fluid during EDM. The present paper is on investigation of influence of carbon nanotube (CNT) powder addition to dielectric fluid on EDM performance. The effect of the addition of CNT is analyzed on MRR and surface roughness (Ra). The variable factors were pulse on time (Ton) and powder concentration. The addition of CNT powder has improved the surface roughness and MRR in comparison EDM without CNT addition.
