Abstract

One of the major requirements of wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is to develop suitable technology for producing smooth surfaces. The main characteristic of WEDM is the development of the white layer. To ensure good surface quality, the white layer thickness (WLT) must be as thin as possible, homogeneous, and crack-free. Spark energy and wire electrode type are the most important parameters to experimentally investigate WLT. Experimental results show that the WLT increases linearly by 3 and 2. μm for every 20-μJ increase in the spark energy while using brass and coated wire, respectively.
