Composite tools made of copper, tungsten and boron carbide were prepared through powder metallurgy and their performance during machining of titanium alloy work piece was studied. The results showed that the PM tools exhibited similar performance as solid copper tool in terms of MRR, TWR and surface integrity.
Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is broadly used in machining of parts having intricate shapes made of difficult-to-machine materials. During EDM, tool fabrication time through conventional machining processes is generally excessively high. Therefore, alternate tool material and fabrication strategy is sought to reduce machining lead time. In this work, composite tools made of copper, tungsten and boron carbide have been prepared through powder metallurgy (PM) route. The performance of these tools is studied during machining of titanium alloy work piece. The input parameter considered are tool material parameters such as weight percentage of tungsten and boron carbide in the tool and machining parameters like peak current, pulse-on-time and duty cycle. The performance of these tools are evaluated considering the performance measures such as material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), average surface roughness (R-a), surface crack density (SCD), white layer thickness (WLT) and micro-hardness (MH). It is observed that the tool materials have been transferred onto the machined surface forming a hard layer with increased weight percentage of oxygen and carbon during machining. The PM tools exhibit similar performance as solid copper tool with respect to MRR, TWR and surface integrity.
