Abstract
Magnetic field assisted powder mixed electrical discharge machining (MFAPM-EDM) process is a hybrid process machining process which improves the machining characteristics and stability of process using assistive magnetic field and dielectric admixed powder. In this article, study on overcut has been performed on MFAPM-EDM machined Aluminium 6061 alloy. Discharge current, powder concentration, pulse on duration, pulse off duration, and magnetic field strength as process parameters have been varied during experimentation. Box Behnken design approach was employed for experimental design to carry out the experiments. Suitable Semi-empirical model was formulated using dimensional analysis for predicting the overcut. The empirical model developed was also compared with RSM model and was found better in predicting the response. Optimum process parameters for minimal overcut was conducted desirability function approach of RSM. Experimental results divulged discharge current as the most important parameters for overcut as compared to other process parameters on account of higher F-value. Confirmatory experiments revealed good correlation between optimum and experimental results.
