| description | Inconel 718 finds extensive applications in the aviation and aerospace industries, particularly in the manufacturing of jet engines and high-speed airframe components like fasteners, bolts, buckets, instrumentation parts, wheels, and spacers. It is also utilised in the production of cryogenic tankage and gas turbine blades. The present study focuses on investigating the machining performance of graphene nanosheets on Inconel 718. Various aspects of Inconel 718's machinability through electrical discharge machining (EDM) have been examined, including material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness, surface morphology, tool rear Rate (TWR), residual stresses on the machined surface, Vickers hardness, and recast layer thickness. The investigation reveals a significant impact of process parameters on these machining characteristics. The effects of graphene nanosheets have been observed using several analytical instruments such as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), particle size analyzer, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, optimization of the response data with respect to input parameters has been performed in this study. TEM analysis is used to determine the size of individual debris particles in deionised water and mixed graphene nanosheet dielectric mediums. To verify that the debris particles are the same as the parent material, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) is used. To determine the compounds and crystal structures present in the base metal and machined surfaces, XRD analysis is used. A high-resolution X-ray diffractometer (HRXRD) is used to measure the residual stresses on the machined surface. EDX composition testing is used to analyze surface modification. Due to the rapid heating and quenching that takes place in the dielectric medium, the machined surface becomes harder. Deposited materials, microholes, and surface textures can all be observed through FESEM microstructure observation. Comparing conventional EDM to nanosheets mixed dielectric, the thickness of the recast layer is reduced. To recapitulate, the study explores how various machining parameters and dielectric mediums affect EDM processes. It examines debris particle size, compound formation, residual stresses, surface modification, hardness, microstructure, and recast layer thickness. The addition of graphene nanosheets to the dielectric medium produces promising results, reducing the thickness of the recast layer and improving surface quality. The results offer suggestions for improving Inconel 718 material surface properties and EDM machining effectiveness. |
