description |
The Powder Mixed-Electrical Discharge Machining (PMEDM), as an influential
environment, has been proven to overcome the challenges of dielectric liquids
impedance, machinability, and surface integrity problems. Also, the additive powder
particles played a vital role in this enhancement. Nevertheless, this environment suffers
from the powder agglomeration phenomenon, as abnormal behaviour, resulting in the
dropping of the performance of PMEDM. Accordingly, the present work aims to
neutralize this phenomenon during machining AISI D2 hardened steel in PMEDM
environment by employing 10, 15, and 20 Amps; 20, 25, and 30 μs; 2, 4, and 6 g/L for
peak current (IP), pulse duration (Ton), Nano Chromium Powder (NCP) concentration
(PC), respectively. These parameters, which are produced by Finite Element Analysis
(FEA), predicted the boundaries, as the pilot procedure, to avoid the collapse of the
removal operation. Digital Balance, SJ400 Mitutoyo, Shimadzu Vickers's tester, and
SEM/EDS-Hitachi SU-1510 were invested to specify the Material Removal Rate
(MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR), average surface roughness (Ra), Microhardness (MH),
Recast Layer Thickness (RLT), and agglomeration ratio (%AG) after machining.
Depending on Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) observations before and
after machining stages, the weight percentage of chromium element reduced from 7.78%
to (3.12% to 6.68%). Hence, NCP particles have not agglomerated in the interelectrode
gap zone. Furthermore, the carbon and other elements agglomeration contributed in
enhancing the microhardness from (655 to 675) HV to (784 to 911.65) HV. The
Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)-Analyses of
Variance (ANOVA)-Response Surface Methodology (RSM), as hybrid optimization,
boosted the composite desirability of Multiple-Response optimization produced by RSM
from 0.6153 to 0.9997. Moreover, this hybrid technique has determined IP = 10 Amps,
Ton = 30 μs, and PC = 2 g/L; IP = 20 Amps, Ton = 20 μs, and PC = 6 g/L, as the optimal
and worse cases, respectively. Accordingly, the predictive cost, according to the
optimal-case, has declined by 40.23% as compared to the worse case. |
