Abstract:

The improvement of productivity and surface quality in the WEDM process is an interesting research area in the present situation. In the present study, an attempt has been made to introduce low-frequency vibration assigned to the workpiece for improving machining surface quality and productivity. SKD11 die steel was used as a workpiece with the brass wire as the electrode. The moving direction of the wire perpendicular to the impact direction of vibrations has been investigated. It has been found that machining productivity has been improved. However, the machining surface texture is not significantly affected by the proposed method.
