EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF COATED AND UNCOATED TOOLS USED IN ELECTRO DISCHARGE MACHINING PROCESS FOR MACHINING OF TI6AL4V

Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) is a thermal erosion method in which material is removed by melting minuscle areas at the surface of workpiece. Ti6Al4V is amongst the foremost widely used alloys due to its potential in maintaining wonderful exceptional properties even at high temperatures. This article gives the exposure on use of the coated electrodes with aluminum as the base metal. The following paper highlights the effect of different process parameters, on the machining performance of Ti6Al4V using coated and uncoated electrodes. This study compares and analyzes the effects of coated and uncoated electrodes and optimization of the process parameters in machining of Ti6Al4V for better performance results
