Abstract
Mechanical-physical-chemical characteristics of aluminum materials can be suitable for electrode materials, but research results with this material are still limited, and this has significantly affected its applicability in EDM. In this study, the authors studied the machining ability of aluminum electrodes in EDM to process Ti-6Al-4V. Material removal rate is the indicator used in this study. Process parameters including current (I), Gap Voltage (Vg), and pulse on time (TON) were surveyed by Taguchi method. Optimal process parameters are as follows TON = 1000 µs, Vg = 40 V and I = 40 Amp, and MRROPT = 0.0239 gm/min, and the accuracy of the result is reasonable error of 14.91%.
