Abstract

Recent days Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite (AMMC) materials are more improved in mechanical, thermal, and wear properties. Hence industries are looking for improving machinable characteristic AMMC composites. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is one of the emerging technologies in the un-conventional machining process to machining intricate products with the utmost amount of exactness. Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (WEDM) is one among the advanced approach and also a conversant approach engaged for making intricate forms in electrically conductive work samples. In this exploration, an investigation on machinability of WEDM of stir casted Hybrid MMC (LM26 + Graphite + Fly ash) and evolution of artificial intelligent tool for predicting the desired variables have been performed. The ascendance of variables named as duration of pulse on (Ton), pulse off (Toff), dielectric fluid flushing pressure, wire feed and servo voltage in contrast to preferred output measures like material removal rate, surface finish, overcut errors were investigated. An analysis has been performed by L27 taguchi method, and output performance is investigated.
