| Summary: | The machining of complex shaped designs was difficult earlier, but with the advent of the newer machining processes incorporating in it electrical, chemical & mechanical processes,
manufacturing has redefined itself. Especially, the Electrochemical Machining (ECM) process is used to machine the hard to cut materials without producing heat and friction. Hence, in this work, the ECM process has been chosen to machine SS AISI 202 steel. This study establishes the effect of process
parameters such as voltage, current and concentration of electrolyte on the responses on material removal rate (MRR). In this work, second-order quadratic models were developed for MRR, considering the electrolyte concentration, voltage and current as the machining parameters, using central composite
design. The developed models were used for Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization by desirability function approach to determine the optimum machining parameters. |
