Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Prediction of White Layer Formation in Μ-Wedm Process of Niti Shape Memory Superalloy: Fem With Experimental Verification(Springer London Ltd, 2021) Akar, Samet; Meshri, Hassan Ali M.; Seyedzavvar, Mirsadegh; Ilkhchi, Reza NajatiMicroscopic changes in the surface of nickel-titanium (nitinol) shape memory alloys (SMAs) in micro-wire electro-discharge machining (mu-WEDM) due to the formation of a resolidified layer on the machined surface, called white layer, are one of the main drawbacks in the processing of such alloys. Since these changes significantly affect the shape memory and elastic recovery characteristics of these alloys, reduction of the white layer thickness (WLT) based on the selection of optimum process parameters is essential to raise the quality of the machined parts. In this regard, a finite element model (FEM) has been developed to simulate the effects of mu-WEDM process parameters, including discharge current, pulse on-time, pulse off-time, and servo voltage, on the heat distributing in Ni55.8Ti SMA to predict the WLT. The flushing efficiency of electric discharges and the effect of flow regime of the dielectric fluid on the heat distribution in the workpiece and the formation of the WLT are analyzed. Experimental data are used to verify the accuracy of the FEM. The results show that the developed model can predict the WLT in mu-WEDM process of Ni55.8Ti SMA with an average error of 14%. The effects of discharge parameters on the formation of the WLT are discussed in details based on the results of the FEM.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9An Experimental Work on Using Conductive Powder-Filled Polymer Composite Cast Material as Tool Electrode in Edm(Springer London Ltd, 2014) Cogun, Can; Yaman, KemalThis paper introduces the composite tool electrodes made of electrical conductive powder-filled polyester resin matrix material, providing promise for the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process. The dendrite-shaped copper powder, graphite powder, and their mixture were used as conductive fillers. Six different types of composite electrodes, namely, plain copper-polyester, pressed copper-polyester, furnaced copper-polyester, plain copper-graphite-polyester, pressed copper-graphite-polyester, and furnaced copper-graphite-polyester were prepared. It is found experimentally that increasing v (f) improved workpiece material removal rate, tool wear rate, relative wear, and electrical conductivity of electrodes. The pressed copper-polyester electrodes were found to be promising in the ED finishing of workpieces at low machining current settings. The practical applicability of the proposed composite electrodes in the industry was also illustrated.
