description | Electric discharge machining with a powder mix dielectric is a promising technique to harden a work piece’s surface using electricity with a high energy density. The quality of the electrical discharge-machined surface is related to its surface integrity in which the surface’s roughness, residual stresses, micro hardness and surface micro cracks are some of the major factors. In this research, graphite powder was mixed in a dielectric with a particle size of 20 µm, 30 µm, and 40 µm, with the concentration of the graphite powder ranging from 2 g/L to 4 g/L. Moreover, the peak current and pulse time on were also coupled with an additive of graphite powder to investigate the effect on the surface quality, i.e., the recast layer thickness, micro hardness and crater depth as well as the material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear rate (TWR). A Box–Behnken design was employed to design the experiments and the experimental results revealed that the graphite powder size and concentration coupled with the electrical parameters (peak current and pulse time on) significantly influenced the recast layer thickness, micro hardness, crater size, MRR and TWR. The crater depth and micro hardness were maximized at a higher concentration and particle size, while the recast layer thickness was reduced with a higher gain size. |
