Impact of Electrical Process Parameter in Electrochemical Micromachining of Nimonic 75 Alloy
Main Article Content
Abstract
Electrochemical micromachining is one among the widely known method for machining micro holes in electrically conductive, hard to cut materials. As nimonic 75 alloy can withstand alternate cooling and heating conditions, it finds application in aero combustor liner. In this study, solid tungsten carbide (500µm) was selected as the tool to produce micro holes in the work-piece (nimonic 75 alloy). As pulsed current, results in more confined dissolution, trials were performed by changing electrical process parameter such as duty cycle, pulse on period and pulse off period and their effect on MRR and dimensional deviation were studied. Employing TOPSIS, lower values of duty cycle and pulse on period was desirable for the production of holes with better geometrical features and the similar was found to be in concurrent with SEM images.
