    Thermo-Fluid Multi-Physics Modeling and Experimental Verification of Volumetric Workpiece Material Removal by a Discharge Pulse in Electric Discharge Machining Process
    (Iop Publishing Ltd, 2020) Cogun, Can; Uslan, Ibrahim; Erbas, Murat; Erdem, Oguz
    The volume of material removed from the workpiece by a pulse (V-v) in the electric discharge machining was quantitatively determined using a multi-physics simulation model in ANSYS CFX software. Electrical heating is used in the model to simulate the plasma channel formation by defining the boundary and time-controlled current density initial conditions. Time-dependent physical properties at plasma temperature were used to reflect the actual processing environment. The heat was transferred from the plasma channel to the workpiece by electrical heating from the electrode, and V(v)was calculated by means of the amount of heat transfer. The calculated V(v)values for AISI4140, Ti6Al4V and Inconel 718 workpieces were lower than the experimental results and the difference was observed to change between 38.3% and 46.9%.

    Effect of Powder Metallurgy Cu-B4c Electrodes on Workpiece Surface Characteristics and Machining Performance of Electric Discharge Machining
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Cogun, Ferah; Akturk, Nizami; Cogun, Can; Esen, Ziya; Genc, Asim
    The main aim of this study is to produce new powder metallurgy (PM) Cu-B4C composite electrode (PM/(Cu-B4C)) capable of alloying the recast workpiece surface layer during electric discharge machining process with boron and other hard intermetallic phases, which eventually yield high hardness and abrasive wear resistance. The surface characteristics of the workpiece machined with a PM/(Cu-B4C) electrode consisted of 20 wt% B4C powders were compared with those of solid electrolytic copper (E/Cu) and powder metallurgy pure copper (PM/Cu) electrodes. The workpiece surface hardness, surface abrasive wear resistance, depth of the alloyed surface layer and composition of alloyed layers were used as key parameters in the comparison. The workpiece materials, which were machined with PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes, exhibited significantly higher hardness and abrasive wear resistance than those of machined with the E/Cu and PM/Cu. The main reason was the presence of hard intermetallic phases, such as FeB, B4C (formed due to the boron in the electrode) and Fe3C in the surface layer. The improvement of the surface hardness achieved for steel workpiece when using PM/(Cu-B4C) electrodes was significantly higher than that reported in the literature. Moreover, the machining performance outputs (workpiece material removal rate, electrode wear rate and workpiece average surface roughness (Ra)) of the electrodes were also considered in this study.

    The Effect of Powder Mixed and Heated Dielectric on Drilling Performance of Electric Discharge Machining (Edm)
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2016) Cogun, Can; Urtekin, Levent; Ozerkan, H. Bekir; Uslan, Ibrahim; Erdem, Oguz
    In this study, heated silicon oil with added carbon and starch powders was used as dielectric liquid, instead of common hydro-carbon based dielectrics, to obtain better hole surface quality with rotating brass tube electrode in electric discharge machining (EDM). The electro-rheometer tests were conducted to find out the suitable temperature and powder concentration values of the electro-rheological (ER) dielectric under the electric field. Higher workpiece material removal rates (MRR) was obtained in carbon powder added dielectrics than the starch powder added ones for rotating and non-rotating electrodes. The optical microscope observations of the machined hole surfaces indicated that the carbon powder added dielectrics reduced the diameter and depth of the discharge craters, thereby resulting in uniformly distributed and round top peaked surface topography. The starch powder addition to the carbon mixed dielectric further improved the surface quality for both rotating and non-rotating electrodes cases at 30 degrees C and 75 degrees C dielectric temperatures.
