Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) is a Non-traditional machining technique that has been used in the production of dies and it is originally as signed for manufacturing complex shaped components in defense and aerospace applications. The most important performance measures in ECM are material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra). In this work, experiments were performed to determine parameters affecting material removal rate and surface roughness. The data obtained for performance measures have been analyzed using the design of experiments method. A considerably profound equation is obtained for the MRR and Ra using current, gap voltage, flow rate and gap setting parameters. SPSS software and C programming have been used to optimize the machining parameters of ECM.

Abstract


Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) is a Non-traditional machining technique that has been used in the production of dies and it is originally as signed for manufacturing complex shaped components in defense and aerospace applications. The most important performance measures in ECM are material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra). In this work, experiments were performed to determine parameters affecting material removal rate and surface roughness. The data obtained for performance measures have been analyzed using the design of experiments method. A considerably profound equation is obtained for the MRR and Ra using current, gap voltage, flow rate and gap setting parameters. SPSS software and C programming have been used to optimize the machining parameters of ECM.
