Abstract

The usage of cladded materials is grown in automobile industry. However, cutting of cladded material is considered as a challenging task because of its heterogeneous nature, therefore it is often subjected to thermal cutting like plasma arc cutting or gas cutting process. Wirecut Electric Discharge Machining (WEDM) is a competent alternate for good surface finish but this process offers relatively low level of cutting. The objective of this work is to identify the optimal values of WEDM process parameters such as pulse on time, table feed and working time and then study their effects on the surface roughness and Kerf width.
