Investigation of Drilling Performance of Hardened 32CRMOV12-10 Tool Steel on Electro EDM Machine

Abstract

In this study, EDM process was applied to 32CrMoV12-10 (1.7765) high-quality cold work tool steel with a hardness of 50 HRC with different processing parameters. The experimental design of the study was prepared using Taguchi L27 orthogonal array. Processing parameters were used three different electrode materials (copper, graphite, tuncop), three different currents (10, 20, 30 A), three different pulse durations (200, 400, 600 µs), constant cutting depth (1 mm) and constant time off (50 µs). Following the experiments, the hole diameters formed by the electrode materials on the material surface were measured. The results obtained were examined experimentally and statistically. The smallest hole diameter was measured as 12.2085 mm in the experiments carried out with the copper electrode, and the largest hole diameter was measured as 12.5284 mm with the tuncop electrode. When the study was examined statistically (Signal-to-noise ratio), it was determined that the most suitable processing parameters to create the ideal hole diameter were 10 A ampere current and 200 µs pulse duration in copper electrode material. When the analysis of variance (ANOVA) results were examined, it was determined that the most effective machining parameter for the hole diameter was the ampere value of 47.85%.
