Experimental investigation of machining accuracy in electrical discharge drilling
Abstract
Machining
accuracy is one of the most important criteria of electro discharge drilling
(EDD) processes and this phenomenon is serious due to excessive electrode
wears. In this study, the workpieces were machined with regard to EDD
parameters to obtain blind holes. The machining accuracy was analyzed
experimentally based on machining depth and shape of the holes. Experimental
results were assessed by statistical methods such as analysis of variance and
regression analysis. In addition, grey relation analysis was used to determine
optimal machining condition and to improve the machining accuracy. It has been
observed that working current is the determinative parameter. The lower working
current and the higher pulse time are suggested to obtain the more accurate
shape of the drilled holes in EDD of materials.
